We prioritize safety, reliability, and minimal maintenance, ensuring long-term protec tion and enhanced community resilience. Geohazards Investigation Many clients know they have geohazard issues at a site or in an area or corridor, but what do you do about it? How bad is it? Which sites do you mitigate and in what order, and how much should you budget for? These are questions that WSP excels at providing answers to. It begins with a geohazards investigation where an inventory of the geohazard sites is prepared, and field assessments are conducted. We have experience with qualitative ranking systems, as well as quantitative risk assessment where detailed calculations are made for likelihood and consequence of a geohazard event. A conceptual mitigation design is prepared quickly for many of the worst sites based on WSP’s extensive ex perience with mitigation design. With the quantitative risk assessment and high-level cost estimates, a bene fit-cost study can be performed, helping owners make decisions on if and where to mitigate, and how much money to budget.
