Forensic Technical Consulting – Waterproofing, Insulation & Protective Coating Systems

About EK CONSULTING GLOBAL's SERVICES

About EK Consulting Global & Our Services

EK Consulting Global provides forensic technical assessment and failure consulting across waterproofing, insulation systems, EIFS, and protective coatings, supporting projects internationally.

Our involvement typically arises during dispute-stage, rejection-stage, or high-risk technical circumstances where system performance is questioned, unclear, or contested. We are engaged to examine failure mechanisms, conduct structured root-cause analysis, and deliver technically substantiated conclusions that support informed and defensible decision-making.

We work alongside contractors, specialist applicators, construction dispute advisors, legal teams, consultants, and asset owners who require disciplined technical evaluation when projects encounter leakage, thermal underperformance, coating delamination, specification rejection, or uncertainty surrounding rectification scope.

With experience across more than 100 completed projects in multiple regions, EK Consulting Global brings field-based expertise in diagnosing complex system failures and interface-related conflicts. Our assessments are grounded in applied site exposure to material behavior, substrate conditions, sequencing variables, environmental influences, and execution tolerances — translated into structured technical reporting and, where required, CAD-supported rectification intent development.

Our practice is founded on applied construction-chemical and building envelope performance knowledge — not product sales, installation services, or theoretical commentary.

Services are centered on point-of-decision forensic assessment, delivering comprehensive technical reports, structured root-cause documentation, rectification strategy definition, and clarification of intended design performance. Reports are prepared with professional discipline appropriate for contractor coordination, dispute evaluation, technical negotiation, and formal documentation processes where necessary.

Each engagement is approached systematically, reviewing project documentation, detailing integrity, material compatibility, sequencing logic, and execution variables to determine causation and define technically appropriate corrective measures.

Assessments are conducted remotely through structured review of submitted documentation, photographs, and technical records. Site attendance may be arranged under separate engagement where required. Where jurisdiction-specific engineering certification, statutory sign-off, or expert witness designation is necessary, engagement may be structured in coordination with locally licensed professionals as appropriate.

What We Deliver

Each instruction is structured around two defined deliverables.

Part I — Forensic Failure Determination

An independent forensic assessment conducted in response to a documented system performance deficiency.

The assessment may include:

• Technical review of drawings, specifications, reports, and available documentation
• Analytical evaluation of observed defect conditions
• Determination of probable failure mechanisms and contributing variables
• Interpretation of system behaviour under actual exposure, substrate, and environmental conditions
• Assessment of detailing logic and compatibility
• Issuance of structured technical findings and reasoned conclusions

The outcome is a formal written forensic report presenting technically defensible determination based on available evidence and documented analysis.

Part II — Design-Intent Rectification Clarification

Where rectification strategy requires visual or interface clarification, conceptual CAD documentation may be prepared in alignment with the forensic findings.

Documentation may include:

• Clarified interface and transition detailing
• Conceptual rectification sections reflecting corrected technical intent
• Annotated system logic supporting performance continuity
• Correlation between written findings and graphical interpretation

All drawings are issued strictly for design-intent communication and technical clarification. They do not constitute construction drawings, shop drawings, or execution documentation.

Failure Contexts & System Categories

Our forensic assessments commonly involve:

Waterproofing Failures

Leakage, membrane breakdown, interface detailing errors, sequencing conflicts, and moisture ingress affecting substructures, podium decks, wet areas, and roof assemblies. Analysis focuses on mechanism of failure and rectification logic.

Insulation & EIFS Performance Issues

External insulation and finishing systems exhibiting cracking, debonding, moisture intrusion, condensation risk, thermal inefficiency, or detailing deficiencies at transitions and penetrations.

Protective & Architectural Coating Breakdown

Adhesion loss, blistering, premature deterioration, incompatibility with substrates, environmental exposure failures, and durability shortfalls under real service conditions.

Bonding & Adhesion Disputes

Tile, stone, composite, and insulation bonding failures where substrate preparation, material selection, curing conditions, or sequencing variables are contested.

Resinous & Specialist Flooring Failures

Epoxy and polyurethane systems experiencing cracking, delamination, blistering, or durability concerns in operational environments.

Concrete Repair & Remedial Interventions

Assessment of unsuccessful repair works including patch systems, injection methods, and protective overlays where performance expectations were not achieved.

Engagement Criteria

EK Consulting Global is engaged at critical technical decision points — when a waterproofing, insulation, EIFS, or protective coating system has deviated from intended performance and a structured forensic assessment is required to determine root cause and define the technically correct path forward.

Our involvement is typically dispute-stage, rejection-stage, or rectification-stage — where disciplined technical determination is necessary to move the project forward.

✔ Appropriate Engagement Scenarios

• Waterproofing, insulation, EIFS, or coating systems exhibiting leakage, delamination, deterioration, or performance deviation from design intent

• A technical detail, system configuration, or application method has been rejected or formally challenged

• Documented disagreement exists between project stakeholders requiring independent technical evaluation

• Rectification is required, but the mechanism of failure and corrective pathway remain unclear

• Structured forensic documentation is needed to support contractor coordination, asset owner review, or dispute-related processes

✖ Engagements Outside Scope

EK Consulting Global is not typically engaged for:

• Tender-stage design development or pricing exercises
• Shop drawing production or execution supervision
• Procurement advisory or material sourcing
• Installation, contracting, or material supply
• Full project management or lifecycle oversight

Our role is focused and analytical — to investigate system behaviour, determine causation, and define technically defensible corrective intent.

Professional Experience, Accreditation & Forensic Technical Standing

EK Consulting Global’s forensic technical capability is built on direct involvement in over 100 completed construction and rectification projects across the Gulf region and international markets. This experience spans complex waterproofing assemblies, external insulation systems, protective coatings, and multi-layer construction-chemical interfaces under real climatic exposure conditions.

Regional project exposure includes high-temperature environments, coastal corrosion zones, high-rise developments, podium structures, wet-area assemblies, and defect-sensitive refurbishment scenarios. This practical site-based background informs forensic interpretation with applied understanding of sequencing pressures, workmanship variability, substrate constraints, and environmental impact on material performance.

Professional standing is supported by completion of 30+ structured CPD and manufacturer-certified technical programs delivered by major international system providers in waterproofing, insulation, coating, and repair technologies. These programs include system design logic, failure case analysis, application tolerances, compatibility considerations, and long-term performance evaluation.

Technical conclusions are therefore grounded not only in documentation review, but in extensive field exposure to real system behaviour across regional construction conditions.

Where jurisdiction-specific engineering certification, statutory sign-off, or expert witness designation is required, engagement may be structured in coordination with locally licensed professionals as appropriate.

Formal certification documentation and representative project experience may be provided upon request.
