Risk Assessment

Risk Studies and Assessment

We identify and quantify geological, seismic and structural hazards so your project can be designed, built and operated safely. Get reliable results with geological and seismic risk studies, dynamic soil characterisation, vibration analysis and integrity assessment of structures and infrastructure.

Risk Assessment

What is risk assessment?

These are the analyses that identify, characterise and quantify the hazards that can affect a project: geological risk, seismic risk, dynamic soil behaviour, vibration and structural integrity.

They make it possible to anticipate failures, define mitigation measures and meet technical and regulatory requirements, protecting people, assets and the continuity of the works.

Scope

Advanced technology for risk assessment through the following techniques:

  • Geological and seismic risk studies
  • Dynamic soil characterisation (MASW, ReMi, Nakamura)
  • Vibration analysis of ground and infrastructure
  • Integrity assessment of structures and infrastructure
  • Pile integrity testing (PIT, CrossHole, Borehole)
  • Foundation assessment (parallel seismic)
  • Electrical resistivity tomography and resistivity surveys
  • Subsurface studies with ground-penetrating radar (GPR)
  • Detection of pipelines, utilities and buried objects
  • Pathology and inspection of infrastructure
  • Liquefaction and stability studies
  • Concrete and steel assessment using ultrasound and rebound hammer
Specialities
