Vanessa M. Malone, PE
Construction Defect Litigation · Licensed: FL
Biography
Malone is the Owner/Founder of Preeminent Solutions, Inc. (also referenced as Preeminent Solutions Engineering / PSENGRINC), a forensic and design engineering firm based in Sanford, FL. Sources describe her experience as somewhere between "nearly 15 years" and "nearly 20 years" in civil/structural design, forensics, and expert-witness work — the firm's own site and experts.com disagree on the exact figure, so both are reported rather than reconciled. She holds a Master's degree in Computational Mechanics from Carnegie Mellon University. Career history includes positions at Thornton Tomasetti, Westinghouse Electric, Jacobs Technology, Amentum, Southern Nuclear, Bechtel, General Electric, and ANSYS, with collaboration on projects for NASA, the U.S. Navy, NIST, NOAA, and NESDIS. She is a licensed PE in at least 13 jurisdictions (FL, CA, TX, VA, MD, NY, NJ, LA, GA, MS, NC, TN, and Washington D.C.). Her stated specialties are industrial and nuclear structures, earthquake analysis, wind load analysis, and finite element analysis (FEA), with forensic focus on structural failure, building envelope failure, and water infiltration. One bio states she authored five articles, including pieces on concrete masonry deterioration, reinforced concrete degradation in marine environments, and structural considerations in historic building renovation and aircraft-hangar retrofits (titles of the individual articles were not given). She holds small-business certifications (DBE, SSBE, MWBE, MBE, LDE) with 8(a)/WOSB pending. Works primarily in Spanish and English, per her firm bio.
