Additional Information

Ms. Vanessa Malone, P.E., is the Owner and Founder of Preeminent Solutions, Inc, a forensic engineering and design engineering firm. Malone is a licensed professional civil / structural engineer with almost 20 years’ experience in civil/structural design, forensics, and expert work. She is a graduate of Carnegie Mellon University, where she was one of the few female graduates to receive a Masters in Computational Mechanics. Over the course of her career, Malone has led teams within a series of private firms in the design, analysis, forensic investigation, and seismic probabilistic risk assessment (PRA) of nuclear structures, aerospace structures, commercial structures, industrial towers, multi-storey buildings, and more. Key firms include Thornton Tomasetti, Westinghouse Electric, Jacobs Technology, Amentum, Southern Nuclear, Bechtel, General Electric, ANSYS, and more. Likewise, over her nearly two (2) decades’ of experience, Malone has spearheaded analysis and design with several federal organizations including NASA (The National Aeronautics and Space Administration), the NAVY, NIST (The National Institute of Standards and Technology) NOAA (The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration), and NESDIS (The National Environmental Satellite, Data, and Information Service.) In her early career Malone worked as a scientist and teacher. She believes that information is best when it is easily digestible to those within and outside of the practice of engineering. She uses this philosophy to create clear, visual and audio presentations to break down complex structural failures, determine cost, and bound repairs. Malone specializes in industrial structures, nuclear structures, earthquake analysis, wind load analysis, and finite element analysis (FEA), in addition to other specialties. She is licensed in multiple states including Florida, California, Texas, Washington D.C., Virginia, Maryland, New York, New Jersey, Louisiana, Georgia, Mississippi, North Carolina, and Tennessee. Malone is multi-lingual, though she primarily works and writes in Spanish and English. Malone and her team of engineers at Preeminent Solutions specialize in the analysis, design, and investigation of commercial, defense, aerospace, aviation, industrial, and structures. They also specialize in residential structures, including condos.
