The disruptive power of the ground beneath our feet cannot be underestimated. We live on a dynamic earth, reacting to human pressures and a changing climate, presenting risks that we must quickly understand and appropriately manage.
It is our decision-making that must adapt, to enable a sustainable and resilient society.
Our experts extract knowledge from information captured across centuries; from literature, from maps, from ground investigations, from hand-picked data partners and more recently, from space. Our highly-specialised team use emerging technology to innovatively synthesise this data with a deep understanding of geo-science, gaining insight to hazards that can disrupt property, land and infrastructure.
Terrafirma exist to help professionals and the consumer unravel the complexities of the ground and provide intelligent solutions in the form of GeoData or Reports to support robust and future-proof decision-making.

RM represents a giant leap in our ability to understand the groundA fusion of cutting-edge geo-science and the highest-resolution GeoData delivers the first geospatial picture of all ground hazards, enabling smarter decisions within the Built Environment.
It is influenced by change in land use, soils, local geology, terrain, vegetation, weather, historical mining and complex erosional processes.
Hazards posed by ground movement are numerous and inevitably pose a risk to society.

RM profiles the risk of instability from all hazards at building levelAll 44 million buildings (29 million dwellings).
Although we cannot eliminate ground risk, the NGRM can quantify the impact upon our homes, workplaces and essential services.
Enabling smarter decision-making and protecting our roads, our services and our rail, crucial to building a more resilient UK Infrastructure.
It is more important than ever to understand the relationship between our built and natural environments.
