About.
Our 10,000 square foot, state-of-the-art laboratory, and highly skilled team of
Engineering Experts are able to provide comprehensive design and engineering services for a wide range of industries.
BEAR experts have extensive multi-state
trial and deposition experience.
Founded in 1986, our engineers have
consulted on hundreds of critical,
high-profile projects including the
Alaskan Pipeline, the Golden Gate Bridge,
the BP Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of
Mexico, the Milwaukee Brewers Stadium
roof collapse, the Lan Chile airplane fire
at the Miami airport, and the San Bruno
pipeline failure, among many others.
BEAR engineers also develop a wide range
of specialized products, from cauterizing forceps for surgery that prevent tissue
burning to powerline detectors for
cranes and lifts to high strength frame
and body components for automobiles
and trucks.
Our investigative approach as problem
solvers covers every angle. We seek to
find out what happened, why it happened,
who or what caused it, and all possible preventative solutions - communicating our findings to our clients in a comprehensive
and meaningful way.
