Even before times of required social distancing, forensic engineers and consultants sometimes encountered physically inaccessible site locations. Rimkus Property Consultants are prepared to perform virtual site inspections utilizing technology such as video call capabilities and camera-equipped track crawling robots to investigate in accessible locations. Virtual site inspections may allow for faster site documentation, meaning consultants can evaluate a space as soon as is practical before physical conditions change. They may also efficiently provide answers to questions, resulting in a faster resolution. Click below to learn more about the capabilities of our Property Division.
In honor of National Volunteer Week, we’re highlighting Rimkus team members who are making a difference in their communities. Today we’re recognizing the efforts of Rimkus Corporate Travel Coordinator Iris Fernandez. Earlier this year, Iris set a goal to raise $600.00 for children’s cancer research. She joined the efforts of St. Baldrick’s Foundation, a charitable organization that collects resources for this important mission by encouraging fundraisers to shave their heads for donations. Iris, along with other participants around the world, planned to shave her head on St. Patrick’s Day. Unfortunately, due to social distancing efforts regarding the current global health crisis, the head-shaving event was canceled this year. That didn’t stop Iris! She ultimately raised more than $1000.00 and participated in Virtual Shave 2020, a distance-conscious event that allowed Iris to participate from the safety of her home environment. We think she looks awesome! We are proud to have Iris in the Rimkus family. Thank you for your contributions to your community.
