Common questions about forensic explosion investigation services.
How much does an explosion investigation cost?
Costs vary depending on complexity, site conditions, and geographic location. Factors include extent of damage, need for laboratory testing, modelling requirements, and litigation involvement. For high-value industrial cases, the cost is typically a small fraction of potential claim exposure. Early engagement often reduces overall costs by preventing evidence loss and minimizing rework. A structured scoping assessment is conducted before cost estimation to ensure transparency and alignment with case requirements.
How long does an explosion investigation take?
Initial findings can be delivered within days to weeks, depending on urgency. Full investigations involving laboratory analysis, modelling, and stakeholder coordination may take several weeks. Timeframes are influenced by site accessibility, regulatory involvement, and data availability. AGI prioritizes early-stage insights to support immediate decisions while continuing deeper analysis.
