Engineering Geology and Geo-Hazards
Geo-Hazards occur at the interface between
engineering design/implementation and the land surface, its
processes and materials. Geo-Hazard evaluation is a valuable tool
for both engineering design and environmental management, as well
as an essential element of planning control. Scott Wilson has
developed and established Geo-Hazard evaluation as an integral part
of many design projects and emergency response situations
throughout the world.
Engineering geomorphology is the key element
in the evaluation and mitigation of Geo-Hazards, such as
landslides, coastal erosion, and flooding, also assisting with the
planning of ground investigations and in predicting sub-surface
soil and rock horizons, mine working and natural cavities, drainage
and stability.
In the Scott Wilson organisation, engineering
geomorphology forms a cost-effective and integral part of our
analysis, design and hazard management skills within the spheres of
mining, highways, pipeline and railway routing and other
infrastructure development projects both in the UK and
worldwide.
