Reducing Uncertainty
Reducing ground risk is a key driver in any large infrastructure development. In this article for the New Civil Engineer, Rod Eddies and Andres Pinto from Stantec explain how early site screening can reduce ground risk and has the potential to accelerate project schedule when compared to conventional ground investigation methods. Fugro’s Geo-risk management framework (GRMF) tried and tested in Qatar’s pre-design work, for a deep pumping station.

Safe and Resilient Coasts Require Geo-data
While governments around the globe recognise the need to implement coastal resilience strategies that will help their communities withstand or readily recover from the impacts of climate change, many agencies lack the baseline coastal and ocean observation and mapping Geo-data needed to perform accurate risk assessments and effective resilience planning. Drawing on Fugro’s global experience, Stephanie Ingle provides key insights about how to plan, fund and share coastal Geo-data for maximum benefit.
