Hazard Assessment for Greenfield Projects
Carry out a hazard assessment of a particular piece of land or asset & make practical recommendations making the land & your operations more resilient
Overview
To understand the future climate risks associated with the greenfield site and plan your construction and design to future proof the site.
We will conduct a desktop assessment of specific locations to provide an in-depth review of local climate hazards and vulnerabilities. This will enable you to make informed decisions regarding the current natural hazards and future climate related hazards the specific site faces.
As a first step, Zurich Catastrophe Risk Insight (CRI) will be used, which is a global hazard map platform. As a second step, a more refined analysis is performed using local hazard maps, where available. These provide a higher level of granularity compared to global tools on the one hand (as they tend to consider local characteristics, which may influence the hazard levels) and, on the other, reflect the fact that the structures to be built at your location will be designed to national design codes, which are based on these local resources.
Highlights
The assessment identifies potential vulnerabilities based on the information provided at the current stage of design. This information is used to develop conceptual loss scenarios for the primary natural perils (flood, wind, earthquake).
Detailed loss estimates and risk mitigation measures can be provided through onsite assessments, which allow for a more refined assessment of the local and site conditions, which influence the risk.
