Case Study: Boulder County Sports Complex addresses wildfire smoke damage with Rimkus

Boulder County Sports Complex traces smoke and heat damage pathways after the December 2021 wildfire with Rimkus

The Boulder County Sports Complex suffered significant smoke, soot, and debris infiltration from a major wildfire, raising concerns about building envelope failure and heat damage to exterior components. The facility owner engaged Rimkus to investigate the cause of the breach, assess the full extent of the interior contamination, and evaluate damage to its roofing and mechanical systems to support recovery and litigation efforts.

Rimkus conducted a comprehensive site inspection to identify the pathways of contamination and assess damage to the building's exterior and mechanical systems. The firm provided clear, defensible opinions on liability and the extent of damage, which enabled the client to pursue litigation against the responsible entity and successfully resolve its damage claims. The technical expertise from Rimkus provided the foundation for the client's informed decisions.
