Edward L. Fronapfel, M.S.C.E., P.E.
Ed holds a Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering, and a Master of Science in Civil Engineering with an emphasis in structural engineering. He is a Certified Level 2 Infrared Thermographer, a Certified 3rd Party EIFS Inspector, and a Certified Forensic Claims Consultant (CFCC.) Ed's background includes geo-hydrology, hydrology, hydraulics, civil engineering, structural engineering and extensive work in construction forensics for building envelope sciences including asphalt work to the roof. Clients include construction companies, management companies, insurance companies, attorneys, homeowners, and homeowner associations. Ed's work has included deposition testimony, expert witness testimony, and mediations and arbitrations. He is a registered engineer in the States of Colorado, Florida, North Dakota, Wyoming, New Mexico, Texas, Nevada, Mississippi, and Nebraska. Ed's dedication to the community is demonstrated by being an active member of over 25 professional organizations. He is a published writer in "The Journal of RCI," "Building Integration Solutions," "The Forensic Engineering Task Force," "The Investigative Engineer," "The I-ENG-A Report," “Inframation, Proceedings Volumes 4, 5, 6, 7, 8,” “Colorado Claims Guide,” and "Building Integration Solutions."
Bradley J. Stolz, E.I.
Brad holds a Bachelor of Science in Engineering with mechanical specialty. He is an ACTAR-Accredited Traffic Accident Reconstructionist. Brad specializes in engineering-based investigations regarding automotive accidents, commercial vehicle crashes, motorcycle collisions, car-pedestrian collisions, brake systems failures, tire failures, and airbag deployment collisions. He provides services to insurance companies, legal professionals, law enforcement agencies, restoration companies, homebuilders, homeowner associations, and commercial property managers. Brad has experience with the automotive Event Data Recorder (EDR, “black box”) function of the airbag control module, the Crash Data Retrieval (CDR) System, Crush and Delta-V speed analysis, P.D.O.F., and Impulse Calculation. His other areas of investigation include HVAC systems, hail damage, frozen pipes, water damage, infrared thermography, construction defect and repair, building envelope analysis, EIFS/Stucco systems, and fire investigation.
