About Us
Mr. Bowers graduated from Florida State University in 2010 and has been involved in the forensic, geotechnical, and structural engineering fields ever since. He began his career evaluating structures to determine the cause and origin of various types of damage, including ground settlement, sinkholes, foundation movement, and building envelope failures. He has also acted as the geotechnical engineer of record by directing field explorations and developing recommendations for ground preparation and foundations for the proposed developments of structures, pavement systems, and stormwater infrastructure. In addition, he has designed hundreds of retaining walls throughout the state of Florida. Mr. Bowers has furthered his career by performing expert witness services for construction dispute matters related to ground movement, foundations, pavements, and similar geotechnical-related matters.
