Statistical Hazard Assessments

At Goldie Geotechnics, I specialize in providing specialized statistical hazard assessments to evaluate and mitigate risks associated with natural hazards like landslides and rockfalls. My approach is rooted in a thorough understanding of geotechnical engineering principles, combined with robust statistical modelling techniques, to ensure that you understand the risk associate with your public asset.

Statistical Hazard Assessments Overview

My statistical hazard assessments service leverages advanced methodologies to accurately quantify the risks posed by natural hazards. This process involves a comprehensive site investigation, detailed analysis of historical data, and the use of cutting-edge statistical models to evaluate the probability of hazard occurrence and its potential impact on people and property.

Methodology
  • Site Investigation and Data Collection: I begin with a fit for purpose site investigation to gather essential data on the geotechnical conditions, historical landslide occurrences, and environmental factors influencing the site’s stability. This step includes mapping existing landslides, identifying potential trigger events, and evaluating the terrain’s susceptibility to future landslides.
  • Statistical Model Development: Utilizing the collected data, I develop a statistical model to analyse the spatio-temporal probability of landslide occurrence and its potential impact. This model integrates rainfall and seismic data, historical landslide inventory, and terrain analysis to predict future landslide behaviour with high accuracy.
  • Risk Analysis and Evaluation: The statistical model provides a foundation for a comprehensive risk analysis. This includes calculating local personal risk, annual individual fatality risk, and societal risk metrics, which help in understanding how risk varies spatially along a track or within a specific area, and in identifying locations associated with elevated hazard levels.
  • Mitigation Strategy Recommendations: Based on the risk evaluation, I recommend tailored mitigation strategies aimed at reducing risk to acceptable levels. These recommendations are grounded in sound engineering principles and are designed to be both effective and feasible for implementation.
