Climate risk resilience and site sizing

Tailored technical studies to design, size and adapt sites to future climate risks.

Service overview

Our climate risk resilience and site sizing service delivers tailored technical analyses. It helps organizations understand how future climate conditions will impact their facilities, infrastructures, and operations.


By combining climate projections, hydrological and flood modelling, and engineering criteria, we support climate-smart design, retrofitting, and long-term adaptation planning.


This approach enables decision-makers to translate complex physical climate risks into actionable design choices and robust investment strategies.

Overview

How it works

We translate complex climate projections into practical design inputs that help engineers, planners, and decision-makers size infrastructures and systems for future climate conditions.

01

Climate datasets

Selection of bias-corrected CMIP6 models, SSP/GWL scenarios, and extreme event statistics relevant to your site or sector.

02

Hazard modelling

Simulation of floods, droughts, heatwaves, groundwater stress, and compound events at high spatial and temporal resolution.

03

Stress tests & thresholds

Evaluation of infrastructures under multiple scenarios and horizons (2030–2100) to determine operational limits and robustness.

04

Design criteria

Translation of results into engineering-ready parameters (return periods, load factors, dimensioning values).

05

Integration into planning

Delivery of GIS layers, technical reports, and site plans that can be directly used in feasibility studies, tender documents, and master plans.

06

Stakeholder co-design

Workshops to prioritize adaptation measures and align sizing decisions with regulatory, environmental, and financial requirements.
