Resilient Built World

Resilience starts below the surface.

Climate volatility is reshaping risk. We help engineers understand the underground—to design, build and operate what comes next.

Resilience is engineered, not assumed.

The largest source of avoidable risk on any project is what teams don’t see: what’s in the ground beneath it. Ground-informed civil design closes that gap before a shovel hits the ground, creating infrastructure designed for variability.

The opportunity

$151T

investment in infrastructure needed by 2050

The challenge

of the world's largest economies at climate risk by 2050

The risk

projects hit unexpected ground conditions

Ground-informed decisions. Real world impact.

How geotechnical insights saved $180M in Indonesia

Using Leapfrog Works and OpenRoads, the team navigated complex engineering scenarios, optimized designs, and addressed the project’s unique challenges to deliver this crucial project 120 days ahead of schedule.

Ground-informed resilience in three moves.

“It needs to be an all-in approach. Clearly there’s going to be regulations set, from councils, from government. As consultants, researchers, regulators, and stakeholders, we all need to plan ahead, work together and adapt as things change.”
