Please join us in welcoming Structural Engineer Claire Benedict, P.E., to the WARREN family! Claire has over 10 years of engineering experience in the civil/structural field specializing in building design, building components, and foundation systems analysis. Claire earned her Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering from Purdue University.
During her time in manufacturing and construction support, Claire designed and analyzed structures, supervised designers and drafters, prepared construction documents (drawings and specifications), and provided on-site duties for field supervision and inspection of construction projects. She has designed retrofits to existing structures in addition to providing instructions on repairing construction defects.
In her role at Warren, Claire determines the root cause of structural and construction related failures and evaluates the extent of resulting damage.
Representative assignments include:
- Construction defects and code-compliance evaluations
- Building-envelope and water intrusion investigations
- Foundation movement, settlement, and cracking
- Roof and structural-system damage
- Steel, concrete, masonry, and timber structures
- Structural failures and collapses
- Repair and retrofit evaluations
- Structural damage following fire, explosion, storm, impact, or other losses
To contact Claire for assistance on a loss or to discuss whether she is the appropriate engineer for an investigation, you can reach her at 803-732-6600 or info@warrenforensics.com.
