Wiss, Janney, Elstner Associates, Inc. (WJE), is an interdisciplinary firm
providing practical, innovative, and technically sound solutions to structural, architectural, and materials problems. Since the firm's founding more than fifty years ago, WJE professionals have successfully completed more than 75,000 projects involving virtually every type of construction material, structural system, and architectural component. The firm maintains offices across the country with professional engineering or architectural registration in every state.

WJE's problem-solving approach based on a first-principles understanding of structural systems, construction materials, and hazards has enabled the firm to conclusively determine the causes of structural failures. WJE's resume of past success in failure investigations includes the 1981 walkaway collapse at the Kansas City Hyatt Regency; structures damaged by the terrorist attacks on September 11; and the recent collapse of the I-35W Bridge in Minneapolis, Minnesota. WJE professionals have extensive experience providing investigative, testing, and assessment services for building materials, design/construction deficiencies and practices, and building code compliance. Many WJE professionals are nationally recognized experts. |

The professional services offered by WJE are supported by the firm's Janney
Technical Center, one of the nation's largest construction-based testing laboratories. The Janney Technical Center maintains state-of-the-art structural and materials test facilities and equipment for construction-related investigations and research.
