Abstract

This paper presents generic guidance for construction professionals for the assessment of geological-related hazards and risks for infrastructure projects. The risks presented by such hazards to a project are dependent upon their potential size and impact. Drawing on practical experience of civil engineering projects in the UK and worldwide, the authors show that, through a carefully planned risk management framework, the potential impact of uncertain events related to geohazards can be identified, appropriately investigated and mitigated. The corresponding reduction in uncertainty provides improved control over both costs and programme to the advantage of all parties involved.
