About us

“Do you have an engineer you can trust?”

VECO is a local engineering firm based in Covington, Louisiana. Our Engineers are licensed in Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama. Our rates are well below those of the national engineering firms that are often mired in bureaucracy.

At VECO one of our engineers will personally return your call, usually within 24 hours. Our average turnaround time from initial contact to presentation of the final report is often less than one week, including inspection and analysis. We know prompt and reliable answers are critical in evaluating your issue or claim.

VECO Engineers have testified as experts in both State and Federal Courts and consulted in many mediations, arbitrations and appraisals.  Our qualifications, reputation and credibility speak for themselves.

Our Process

01

What went wrong?

02

How did this happen?

03

Can we explain it?

Accidents and property damage happen. And the answers to these questions can make the difference between failure and a successful resolution of the issues. VECO engineers have been answering these questions for more than 25 years. We analyze the equipment, structural failure, and reconstruct the scene to help identify the culpable parties. We point out the mitigating facts and uncover human error.

Why Us ?

Forensics is the science of how and why. VECO engineers produce more than opinions. We present the facts. We use science to present comprehensive results in a way easily understood by our clients, judges and juries. Our reports are written in language that condenses complex technical principles into the answers you need to make a decision.

Our Engineers

At VECO Consulting, we are proud of our award winning team of engineers. With over 55 years of combined experience in the industry, it’s easy to see how choosing us for your consulting needs is the smart decision.
