Our experienced team provides independent review and expert witness services to companies, individuals, lawyers, loss assessors and insurers across multiple jurisdictions. 

We have the experience to provide independent review of new or remedial concrete construction and cathodic protection designs for companies to ensure that projects will meet the client requirements, especially for complex projects where long service life is required. 

Engaging expert witness services is crucial when a failure or defect occurs and may lead to litigation. If you are involved in a legal dispute, a failure analysis or forensic engineering investigation that has resulted in legal action, you require an independent witness with the technical expertise, knowledge and ability to provide clear, concise communications during the investigation and any subsequent legal proceedings. 

Our team, led by Managing Director Roger Franklin, has experience providing independent review and expert witness services.  

RKF Engineering Services can help you: 

• Demonstrate compliance: evaluate and substantiate conformance to relevant client, Australian or International Standards. 
• Resolve disputes: present clear evidence and expert witness testimony to help resolve disputes through negotiation, mediation and hearings. 
• Determine root cause: identify the root cause of a failure or incident through comprehensive testing and investigation.

• Independent design review.
