Natural Hazards

Floods, debris flows, landslides, rockfall, collapses and earthquakes do not wait for preparedness to catch up. We monitor, assess and quantify the full range of natural hazards so that owners, operators and the public can act on numbers rather than fear.

What we deliver

Hazard + risk assessment

  • Risk analysis for all natural processes — floods, debris flows, landslides, rockfall, collapse, avalanche
  • Hazard maps for local planning and land-use control
  • Seismic microzonation and earthquake risk analysis
  • Risk calculation with benefit-cost comparison

Process modelling

  • Hydraulic modelling (1D and 2D) and flood modelling (2D)
  • Bed-load and debris-flow modelling (2D)
  • Landslide modelling (2D and 3D) and rockfall trajectory analysis
  • Geotechnical deformation modelling (FEM, 2D and 3D)

Protective measures

  • Stabilisation of rock faces and safety blasting
  • Stabilisation of subsidence and landslides
  • Design and construction management of protective structures
  • Resilience toolbox for infrastructure protection planning

Early warning + response

  • Alerting, early warning and monitoring concepts
  • Incident response, documentation and accident analysis
  • Occupational safety concepts for emergency planning
  • Rope-access working for inspection and installation

Other mission areas

Most projects draw on more than one mission area. Tell us the structure and the site and we will assemble the right combination.

We make it happen

We read the ground. We de-risk the build.

From dam foundations on the Nile to transmission lines across the Great Lakes, our crews turn Africa's toughest sites into certainty you can build on.
