How Geotechnical Risk Assessment Can Protect Valuable Infrastructure and Assets

While geotechnical engineering has evolved tremendously in the past decade — from advances in digitalization and data sciences to remote sensing and geographic information system technology — the impact of climate change on extreme weather events, such as flooding, hurricanes, and wildfires, has exacerbated the risks to infrastructure, facilities, and property. So how can government and private facility owners confidently protect their valuable assets in the face of changing risks?

"Not all buildings are engineered to withstand earthquakes. In reality, it isn't feasible to make every building, business, bridge, tunnel, etc., impervious to the forces of nature. Determining which buildings require stronger safeguards is the responsibility of governments and all participants in the planning and construction processes, from concept to commissioning."
