Forensic Engineering Centre (FEC)

Fec is an interdisciplinary centre for research, consultancy and graduate and professional training in forensic study on building and infrastructure related areas. Although it was officially formed in 2015, most of the fec members have carried out many forensic investigations and structural assessment projects since early 1990s when they were working under civil engineering testing unit (cetu). Today, cetu, which was accredited with iso 17025 since 2004, is the most prominent laboratory test partner of fec.
