About Andrew Scott

I am passionate about being a part of Degenkolb and bringing its full benefit to our clients and colleagues. I have firmly established Structural Engineering expertise focused on complex and challenging projects in assessment, repair, renovation, and peer review of buildings and related systems. My particular interests are in forensic analysis and damage repair, insurance and litigation dispute resolution, construction means and methods engineering, excavation shoring, seismic strengthening, and adaptive re-use of existing buildings. Through 20+ years of diverse project work, I have developed strong communication and collaboration skills that allow me to integrate with complex and dynamic project teams. I gravitate towards leadership opportunities and focus on delivering effective results on large and complex losses. I am the leader of the Forensic Engineering Practice Area within Degenkolb.
