About the Company
At Haag, a Salas O’Brien company, we’ve been a trusted leader in forensic engineering and consulting since 1924, helping clients solve complex, high-stakes problems when it matters most.

We live our values—Inspire, Achieve, and Connect—every day, as shared owners of our success with a focus on a sustainable future. Our work spans industries including energy, manufacturing, data centers, healthcare, science and technology, high-rise buildings, education, structural and building sciences, infrastructure asset management, advanced robotics, and more.
