PROJECT EXAMPLE
CLIMATE RESILIENT INFRASTRUCTURE

 

Sustainable resilient infrastructure is key to economic growth and social development in growing nations.  We are leading experts in the field of Climate Resilience, and assess and improve the resilience of infrastructure to climate change. 

 

We carry out climate change impact, vulnerability and adaptation assessments and have been instrumental in carrying out practical trials with particular emphasis on the need for infrastructure to resist more effectively severe climate related storm events.

PROJECT EXAMPLE
LOW VOLUME ROADS

 

We are internationally recognised by leading funding agencies as world experts in the planning, development and implementation of low volume rural roads where a key priority is to provide vulnerable communities with safe and sustainable access to markets and basic services.
