Turning risk into opportunity

SCIENTIFIC CONSULTING

turning risk into opportunity

NHAZCA’s Scientific Consultancy is a high level scientific and technical service designed to provide you with expert advice in the fields of geology, geomorphology and geotechnics.

Our aim is to provide fundamental support in the analysis and assessment of geological hazards, to assist in strategic and project decisions and land use planning.

The importance of geological and geotechnical consulting

How important is it to you to ensure the safety of the infrastructure you manage or design?

Especially in recent years, the onset of climate change and the increased intensity of natural events have put a strain on the safety of infrastructure.

For this reason, relying on a multidisciplinary approach and civil engineering consultancy, especially in the field of geotechnical engineering, is essential to anticipate risks, mitigate impacts and optimize resources.

AN ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STUDY IS USEFUL BECAUSE IT:

Identifies infrastructure vulnerabilities to extreme natural events in advance, allowing to take effective preventative measures;

Ensure the long-term sustainability of projects by integrating solutions that respect the surrounding environment and promote conservation of natural resources

Promotes community acceptance by encouraging greater community involvement in projects

Services offered by NHAZCA

Thanks to the company’s know-how and close links with the academic world, we offer high-level scientific advice to support multidisciplinary projects aimed at land-use planning and seismic design of major works and infrastructures .
Our goal is to help you monitor your infrastructure by combining our expertise with advanced remote sensing tools.

Geomorphological risk analysis and assessment

NHAZCA’s scientific consultancy supports natural risk management, especially when it comes to the identification and assessment of geological and geomorphological risks that can affect the safety and sustainability of infrastructure projects.

Our consulting services are based on a very solid knowledge of geology and geotechnical engineering: we can provide you with detailed and reliable analyses that examine a wide range of factors, including slope stability, erosion, subsidence, and soil liquefaction potential.

Using advanced methods and innovative monitoring technologies such as satellite interferometry, terrestrial interferometry and PhotoMonitoring™, we can provide you with an accurate picture of the geomorphological hazards associated with a particular area or project.

Territorial planning and infrastructural design

We can help you achieve sustainable land use planning by bridging the gap between advanced scientific knowledge and practical application in urban and infrastructure development processes.
Our advice helps to ensure that land use planning and infrastructure design take into account geological and geomorphological hazards and integrate solutions to promote sustainable spatial planning and the development of safe infrastructure.

Post-disaster support

The post-disaster recovery phase is particularly sensitive for a community. Our scientific advice can help you make better decisions in responding to an adverse event for a fast, effective, and safe recovery process.

With the expertise of our multidisciplinary team, we can analyze the factors that contributed to the damage (be it geological, hydrological or structural) and together think about a natural emergency response that will help prevent similar disasters from happening in the future.
Our studies will help us map the most vulnerable areas and implement design solutions to improve the stability and resilience of new buildings, making them better suited to the local geological and climatic context.

The scientific consulting process

NHAZCA’s scientific consulting has the ability to cover the entire project lifecycle, from initial conception and design, through construction, to safety management during operation. To encompass the entire project, our consulting is divided into several moments, all of which are essential to increasing the safety of your infrastructure.

01

Initial concept and design

Our consulting services begin with the initial conceptual and design work that is essential to laying the foundation for the safe and sustainable development of any infrastructure project.

During these early stages, we focus on gaining a thorough understanding of the geological and geotechnical characteristics of the proposed site. This data, collected through advanced survey methods, is used to assess potential geological hazards such as landslides, soil liquefaction, or subsidence that could affect the stability and safety of future structures.

In the design phase, we can incorporate seismic-resistant design strategies that are essential to ensure the safety of structures in seismic-prone areas. We rely on the analysis of historical data and evaluate soil response to seismic loads to propose solutions that can limit damage in the event of an earthquake.

02

Construction and safety management

After design, it is time to translate all the initial analysis into concrete actions. At this stage, we can support you with careful infrastructure monitoring and management, supported by advanced satellite monitoring technologies that allow us to identify any anomalies or structural degradation early on.

With monitoring, we can quickly take corrective action to reduce security risks and minimize potential service disruptions.
