Next generation ground risk assessment

Ground hazards present a hidden risk to society

Each year, ground hazards like soil, geological and mining subsidence, coastal erosion and landslides cause damage and disruption to UK property, land and infrastructure.

These hidden hazards are varied, widespread and complex. Existing information products fail to translate the risk into actionable insight for a non-technical audience.

Starved of accessible and authoritative ground risk information, organisations and governments make decisions each day worth millions of pounds with under-informed views of ground risk, which can have costly consequences.

We are geologists, soil scientists and mining engineers with a vision
to create a digital twin of ground risk

At Terrafirma, we are passionate about improving the understanding of the ground, and the complex ways it interacts with the built environment. Our geologists, soil scientists and mining engineers clearly communicate complex ground risks through our pioneering reports, expert advice and innovative ground risk models.

Terrafirma exist to ensure people and organisations have access to accurate and understandable information on ground hazards and the risks they pose, so they can make informed decisions without needing to be ground risk specialists themselves.

Take the next step

Across the UK, homes, infrastructure and land are at risk from complex ground hazards that can remain hidden for years. Every day, decisions worth millions of pounds are being made without considering the consequences of these hazards, putting the investments of individuals, families and businesses at risk.
