Sustainable and Resilient Infrastructure Systems

Our Expertise

Our infrastructure is ageing, inadequate to meet our development projections, or is simply failing to meet desired levels of service for communities across the world. We must capitalise on opportunities to invest in resilient and adaptive infrastructure systems for our urban communities. It’s time to rethink infrastructure.

Our expertise encapsulates the following:

Resilience assessments and strategic planning for networks, systems, and services
Multi-hazard risk assessment for climate and other natural hazards
Adaptive planning for resilience
Nature-based solutions
Risk reduction engineering
Financial advisory
Decision support and infrastructure investment management systems

Flood

Climate change creates extreme weather patterns that can trigger intense rainfalls, cyclones and tsunamis.

Storm Surge and Tsunami

Use of simulation technology to estimate tsunami threats and perform vulnerability assessments and solution planning.

Coastal Protection

Coastal management is essential to protecting shorelines against erosion, flooding and storms, especially considering climate change issues such as sea-level rise.

Land slides

Landslides may accompany natural disasters such as heavy rainfalls or storms.

The unpredictable weather patterns from climate change will likely intensify the effects of a landslide.

Water Resource Availability

Urbanization is projected to increase, yet we are faced with limited and unequal distribution of water resources.

Multi-hazard resiliency

We can analyze, simulate and provide disaster vulnerability assessments for multiple threats involving earthquakes, typhoons, tsunamis and flooding.

Climate Change Prediction

NK-ClimVault allows users to obtain future climate prediction information on rainfall and temperature in major cities free of charge.

Seismic Resiliency

There are four different types of earthquakes : Tectonic, Volcanic, Collapse and Explosion. Each earthquake is unique; therefore, each assessment is customised.

Volcano Management

Volcanic eruptions cause a variety of mass movement and landslide phenomena such as pyroclastic flows, lahars, volcanic landslides, and volcano flank collapses.
