Geo-Hazards
AKA provides a comprehensive suite of specialized services focused on the geologic hazards of landsliding, liquefaction, fault rupture, and strong groundshaking. Geo-hazard analysis is a multi-disciplinary field that includes geotechnical engineering, engineering geology, seismology, and risk assessment. AKA is broadly recognized as an industry leader in the area of geo-hazards and typically serves as lead consultant and primary client contact when a multi-disciplinary project team is warranted. Key geo-hazard services that we offer include:
- Landslide, liquefaction, and fault rupture hazard investigations
- Probabilistic seismic hazard assessments
- Geologic multi-hazard assessments for architectural and engineering projects
- Geologic multi-hazard assessments for public schools and hospitals
- Geologic risk assessment and hazard management
- Landslide repair recommendations and design
- Liquefaction mitigation recommendations and design
- Slope monitoring
- Forensic evaluations of geologic distress
At AKA, geo-hazards comprise a core area of interest and over the years we have established close relationships with many other acknowledged experts within the geo-hazard field. Our approach is to augment our in-house capabilities, where advantageous, with experts from appropriate disciplines. In this way, we can assemble a team that is optimized to address the technical, financial, political, and regulatory needs of the project.
