Mr. Snowden has developed a diverse engineering background covering a wide range of materials and project types.
Beginning his career working for large engineering consulting design firms, he honed his knowledge designing power plants, mines, and manufacturing facilities. This design work was related to the structural needs of these industrial processes including large steel towers, conveying systems and bridges, lifts, rail systems, and large bridge cranes.
He is the engineer of record for structural steel and concrete designs for numerous large projects. His design experience also includes project management, retrofit, and forensic investigations. He has designed numerous roof systems comprised of multiple material types and associated structural components. His design experience includes both private and public works, including acting engineer of record for a high school football stadium.
Mr. Snowden has investigated many structural systems and building types constructed from a wide range of building materials as a result of damage due to natural disasters, weather events, fires, explosions, vehicular impact and more. His forensic investigative experience extends beyond residential to large commercial losses including commercial towers, historical landmarks, warehouses, hotels, HOA complexes, school districts, manufacturing facilities and more.
Mr. Snowden is a participating member on ASTM’s E58 Committee on Forensic Engineering, is a certified windstorm inspector by the Texas Department of Insurance, and is licensed as a professional engineer in 34 states. He manages and operates ORLO Forensics, supervising its growing team of engineers, drone pilots, and construction team as the Principal Engineer.
Most of Todd’s entire career has been spent working in the construction industry.
He worked construction while in college and eventually took a position with a manufacturer of in exterior energy efficient structural building components and long span composite deck systems. His direct supervisor and mentor was a structural engineer. They primarily focused on exterior building envelopes for large commercial, industrial, military and government buildings and in doing so he learned more about exterior products (roofing, siding, efis, windows, etc.). This led him to start his own company in the exterior commercial and residential space, where he was able to scale from 1 office to 4 offices in 3 years and sell the business in year 7.
Todd missed the industry, specifically the engineering side of it. He and Patrick founded Orlo Forensics where they specialize in collapse, fire, flood, hail, wind, and disaster investigation and design. Working closely with Disaster, Industry as a whole, they’re brought onsite to complete investigations and compile reports to be submitted to insurance companies, contractors or attorneys.
