Geologic Hazard Evaluations
 

Geologic hazards can adversely affect almost any development or project unless they are identified and addressed in the planning and design stages. Geologic hazards consist of the following:

·Tsunamis and Seiches/River Bank
- Ground Lurching
- Flooding
- Corrosive & Sulfide-Bearing Soils
- Faults
- Landslides
- Iquefaction / Lateral Spreading
- Expansive Soils
- Sensitive Clays and Silts
- Seacliff / Shoreline Retreat
- Ground Subsidence
- Collapsible / Compressible Soils
- Volcanic Hazards
- Dam Failure Inundation

Our professionals offer and extensive variety of services and experience in assessing geologic hazards, both at the design stage and for environmental documents (EIRs, EISs, etc.). Those services consist of the assessment of the presence of geologic hazards, as well as, siting assistance for structures, pipelines, roadways, etc., to reduce the impact due to the presence of geologic hazards. This includes, follow-on studies to evaluate methods to reduce or eliminate adverse affects of geologic hazards on proposed and existing structures and improvements.
