We carry out and support risk engineering site surveys and audits, benchmarking against the international risk management best practices and progress monitoring of DSU/ALOP coverage for a broad spectrum of infrastructure and construction projects, ranging from underground works and railways to highways and bridges, dams and hydropower plants, industrial facilities and real estate developments.

Regular and targeted risk engineering site surveys integrated with continuous progress monitoring will:

• Confirm that the project and risk management practices are implemented and followed
• Ensure that all project specific hazards and risks are timely identified, adequately and appropriately managed and reviewed
• Raise awareness to potential risk changes and/or introduction of new risks
• Identify risks that have the potential to adversely impact the project’s schedule critical path and provide, in a timely effective manner, mitigation measures and contingency provisions
• Enhance confidence with regards to the planned completion for projects with DSU/ALOP insurance coverage
• Increase certainty on financial exposure
• Reduce the total cost of risk 

We deliver project specific risk engineering management studies and reviews, risk based design optimization, qualitative and quantitative risk analysis and impact assessment, independent technical assessment in claims management and forensic engineering, Probable Maximum Loss (PML) studies and underwriting summary reports.

Our bespoke and specialist risk engineering consulting services focus on:

• Identifying and assessing the main hazards and high risk elements of your project
• Developing targeted risk mitigation strategies
• Providing recommendations on alternative conceptual configurations for the identified high risk elements
• Exploring opportunities for project optimization
• Providing recommendations for Geotechnical Baseline Reports (GBR)

We carry out and deliver state-of-the-art performance and reliability based Life Cycle analysis and service life assessment, including Risk and reliability of maintenance schemes and interventions in defense of catastrophic events.

Aiming towards a sustainable future and considering the significant value added to Public-Private Partnership (PPP) projects with long Operation and Maintenance (O&M) periods, a Life Cycle assessment will:

• Increase the lifetime of projects
• Guarantee the health of a structure through cost effective maintenance strategies
• Provide the owner and operator with important decision making tools, thus enabling prioritisation of actions and minimisation of Risk and potential financial exposure.
