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.
