Specialties:
Civil/Structural Engineer with over 20 years of experience working on diverse projects of all
sizes, with an emphasis on structural analysis and construction safety. His structural
evaluations have allowed him to determine and predict causes of failure, as well as to make
recommendations for corrective measures. This experience provides a solid basis for
forensic investigations. The breadth of Mr. Jaracz’s engineering projects includes heavy
industrial and power facilities, large concrete structures, mass concrete, piled foundations,
heavy structural steel, light gage steel, masonry, wood structures and site-work. He is
experienced in complex engineering solutions, establishing design criteria, specifications,
finite element analysis, scope development, proposals, multi-discipline coordination,
directing staff of engineers and drafters.
Mr. Jaracz holds professional engineering licenses in California, Florida, New York,
Pennsylvania, Virginia, and Washington.

Experience:
Mr. Jaracz’s structural experience gives him a solid foundation upon which to base forensic investigations. He is also able to provide recommendations for corrective measures when necessary. His recent forensic engineering experience includes:
Structural evaluation of several structures, including residences, storefronts, and other buildings which were struck by vehicles, including recommendations for the necessity of structural and non-structural repairs
Numerous structural evaluations and inspections following the November 2014 snow storm, including recommendations for repairs
Independent peer review of report regarding Building Code issues
Investigation to determine cause of suspected foundation issue and sagging floors in residence
Engineering evaluation to determine the circumstances related to basement wall damage in a residential structure
Origin and cause investigation in barn collapse case
Investigation of fire damage to masonry basement / foundation
Inspection and evaluation of seismic bracing at a federal embassy facility to determine deficiencies and recommend upgrades
Inspection and evaluation of structural adequacy of existing two-story building in preparation for extensive renovations
Site inspection of existing crane support structure to evaluate for a proposed two ton increase in crane capacity, including evaluation of existing roof beams
Reviewed conditions of slurry containment structure to evaluate movement and rotation, followed by design of and field support for reinforcement of the structure
