History

The science associated with accident reconstruction is not new, however, the application to this field has continued to evolve, along with advances in technology, since the early 1970’s. The principal, Alan Asay, P.E., M.S., has been affiliated with the field of accident reconstruction since the summer of 1986 and has experienced many of the changes to this industry. Since that time, he has been affiliated with three other engineering firms in addition to earning his bachelor’s and master’s degrees in engineering from Brigham Young University.

Originally, Alan worked at Collision Safety Engineering, located in Orem, Utah. While there he received his bachelor’s of science degree in the spring of 1990. He then pursued a master’s degree in mechanical engineering, which he received in 1992. After receiving his master’s degree, he left Collision Safety and went to work for Woolley Engineering Research in Provo, Utah. While there, he became a professional engineer in the fall of 1994. He continued to work at Woolley Engineering Research for 20 years where he reconstructed accidents and headed-up the research and testing program utilizing the Massive Moving Barrier (MMB) as a crash test device. Alan then worked for nearly 2 years at Armstrong Forensic Engineers, of Tampa, Florida, where he managed the Utah office, one of five nationwide. He then left in 2014 in order to open his own firm.

Since the inception in 2014, Asay Engineering has been actively involved in providing automotive accident reconstruction services and consultation in various areas of expertise. These areas include: single or multiple vehicle collisions, rollovers, offset collisions, pedestrian, bicycle, motorcycle, fixed object, and heavy truck collisions. Additionally, Asay Engineering has been involved in various testing and research programs. Several of those programs have lead to numerous peer-reviewed publications that have contributed to the science of accident reconstruction.
At Asay Engineering we are committed to accurately assessing events of a collision by applying experience along with state-of-the-art technology in order to educate, improve safety awareness, and further the science of accident reconstruction.
