Geohazards

What do you think of when you hear “geological hazards”? Volcanoes and earthquakes would probably come to mind first: phenomena that wouldn’t really affect us in Australia.

Geological hazards—or geohazards—are geological and geomorphological processes, phenomena, or conditions that may pose a threat to the safety and wellbeing of communities, infrastructure, property, and the environment in all areas.

Landslides, rock falls, floods, subsidence, seismicity and erosion are common geohazards that affect both people and infrastructure in Australia. The identification and remediation of geohazards reduces the impacts on the assets that make up your community.

Our specialists are dedicated to reducing impacts, preserving critical infrastructure, safeguarding the environment, and educating communities. We help you understand which hazards you’re likely to encounter over the life of your project and what their potential impacts could be—from earliest concept through to construction and maintenance.
