Risk Management and Communication Ireland
Risk is a factor that combines a measurement of an events consequences and the likelihood of that event being realised (Impact x Probability). In practice, risks are managed by either controlling the hazard of given event, or reducing the likelihood until a tolerable level of risk is achieved. Risk Management and Communication is an important tool in the UK environmental and geotechnical sectors.
Often, tolerability of risk depend heavily on whether exposure to the risk is taken voluntarily. A hazard realisation can often be made unusually memorable/conceivable as a result of a recent incident and intense media coverage. These influences can heavily distort risk perceptions.
We are experts in undertaking Risk Assessments for a wide range of ground related hazards. We specialise in communicating the risks effectively and providing a mediatory role to non-technical specialists.
A selected list of example projects can be found on our Projects and Technical page. If you have any questions or enquiries please contact us.

I am a UK Registered Ground Engineering Specialist and Chartered Engineering & Environmental Geologist with significant experience in Site Hazard Assessment, Remediation, Design, and Implementation across the Geoenvironmental and Geotechnical sectors in the UK and abroad. I often work in multi-disciplinary teams advising other engineering and design professionals on the implications of ground hazards. My work involves undertaking design, planning, management, and reporting of ground investigations, including investigations for new developments, and many bespoke studies including the assessment of hydrogeological settings, materials for earthworks, the impact of abandoned mine workings, remediation and stability assessment of soil and rock slopes/landslides, most notably the Pantteg Landslide in the Swansea Valley for which I have guided and presented assessments to Local Authority officers and the general public. |
