J.S. Held Acquires Technorm, Québec’s Leading Forensic, Building Safety & Compliance Experts
Read MoreThe project involved constructing a brand-new light train line in Ontario. Extensive water infiltration was identified at some locations in the tunnel and at the intersection of the tunnel and underground stations. An insurance market retained J.S. Held to investigate the cause of the water infiltration and evaluate the delay caused by the loss.
Our forensic architecture and engineering team identified the root cause of the failure. We partnered with our construction insurance claims experts to determine the reasonable delay attributable to the deficiencies caused by the water infiltration. Based on our findings, the lawyers and insurers were able to settle the multimillion-dollar case.
