Utility Engineering Expert Witnesses

Utility engineering expert witnesses may have varying experience, making it very important that the right expert is selected for your specific case, as utility engineering refers to the manufacturing, maintenance, and other such stages involved with any utility system and/or service. Utility engineering expert consulting may therefore be an essential source of information for cases involving such areas as energy, power plant electrical engineering, metal producing and rolling, HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) in both commercial and industrial settings, mechanical engineering, electronics, and other related disciplines, each of which may end up as part of a lawsuit centered on utility engineering.

Utility engineering expert witnesses are often involved with numerous types of energy sources, including wind energy and natural resources, wind turbines, and other alternative energy systems. Utility engineering experts may be knowledgeable with energy storage, network architecture, smart grids, power management, power distribution, energy analysis, computer programming, fiber optics, infrastructure, efficient power transfer, and other issues involved with power systems.

Utility engineering expert witnesses have experience working with civil projects and numerous public services, such as telephone systems, water meters, underground utilities, information systems, and other important areas. Utility engineers may also be asked to offer an expert opinion regarding any claims related to utility construction, as certain unforeseen issues may lead to substantial problems with the planned utility system.
