Ground risk profiles for 29 million residential properties, 30 million commercial buildings and 50 million structures also include information on present day ground instability hazards such as historic mining, landslides and dissolution, providing an easy way for any business to understand their exposure to ground hazards.

NGRM: ClimateTM

For resilient lenders, insurers and other businesses to understand the impact of projected ground risks.

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.

Subsidence

Subsidence presents an approx. £40billion liability to property.

Mining

Mine entries can reduce property value by almost 30%.

Coastal Erosion

Homes worth a combined £19billion are at risk of coastal erosion.

Landslides

Landslides cause over £10million in financial losses annually.
