TORONTO, ON, JULY 29, 2025/insPRESS/ – Envista Forensics is pleased to announce the promotion of Robert Townsley to Regional Technical Leader of its Vehicle Accident Reconstruction (VAR) practice, a strategic move that supports Envista’s growing presence and service offerings in Western Canada.

With over 8 years of experience in mechanical engineering, Robert brings deep expertise in collision reconstruction and slip, trip, and fall analysis. He has investigated a broad range of incidents, including those involving passenger vehicles, motorcycles, bicycles, commercial trucks, and pedestrians. His analyses often involve vehicle dynamics, driver sightlines and avoidance potential, occupant kinematics, and the effectiveness of safety equipment like seatbelts. Robert also regularly assesses stairways, elevated surfaces, and doorways for compliance with Alberta and National Building Codes.

Based in Alberta, Robert has become a trusted technical resource for insurers, adjusters, and legal professionals throughout the region.

“I’m honoured to step into this new leadership role,” said Townsley. “As client needs evolve, especially in Western Canada, we’re seeing more demand for mechanical and collision-focused forensic work. I’m proud to help grow and guide our talented team in delivering fast, accurate, and defensible results.”

As part of this regional investment, Envista has also added a new mechanical engineer to its Western Canada team, further strengthening its VAR service line and expanding capacity to support complex investigations across the country.
