Experience
Since joining WJE in 1986, Mark Krueger has gained extensive experience in field and analytic assessment of new and historic structures. His experience extends to peer review of design documents; prepurchase surveys; repair design and construction period services for parking structures and precast concrete facades; monitoring of climate, construction activity, and structural response; analysis, inspection, and load testing of wood trusses; and assessment of construction materials. Mr. Krueger has particular experience in the assessment of the damage or collapse of steel, wood, and masonry structures and their damage from settlement, wind, explosion, earthquake, snow, vibration, tornado, impact, fire, water, and nearby construction.
Mr. Krueger has served numerous times as an expert in strength loss of fire retardant-treated wood and attic ventilation as well as structural engineering for precast concrete, pre-engineered metal buildings, and residential wood construction. He has also served as an expert in wood testing, building code issues, standard of care, construction contract administration, thermal and moisture effects in structures, construction materials issues, and underground piping failures.
