CDG also provides detail design and mitigating measures for projects that are deemed under structural distress. Mr. Massood Gaskari and Mr. Morteza Azizian are the primary owners of this company. They have been business partners for many years performing forensic engineering services for Private Eyes Engineers, a forensic engineering company that was established in 1986 by Mr. Gaskari. Together, Mr. Azizian and Mr. Gaskari provide forensic engineering services for buildings that are under distress and/or lack adequate structural support.
The owners of this company have a wealth of knowledge in the field of civil and structural engineering. Their vast experience in forensic engineering allows them to be more aware of the issues that surface years after the original construction and provides our clients with intuitive tools to design systems that avoid future issues.
Masood Gaskari, PE
Mr. Gaskari’s experience provides a large breadth of experience encompassing his professional experience in forensic engineering and construction administration and management. His forensic engineering experience includes forensic assessment of existing buildings in relation to the structural elements, and in the way these elements behave related to the underlying soil conditions, identifying if deficiencies exist in the structural elements and/or if deficiencies exist in the underlying soil conditions. Based on the findings, Mr. Gaskari provides recommendations for repair and is able to provide detail design of repairs (including permitting and/or repair observations). He also routinely performs civil engineering design, structural analysis, and/or detailed design of buildings for both residential and commercial projects. Mr. Gaskari interacts often with building officials to obtain final approval of design and/or the construction documents. He is an expert in the structural design including various types of foundations, framing systems for various construction materials, simple to complex retaining walls, and floor slabs for any geological conditions. He has solved many complex site grading, drainage and/or moisture related issues associated with the building construction.
