Micro-Landslide Assessment

Slope instability assessment at property level using high-resolution terrain analysis. Slope sections are derived from 2m DTMs, aspect points are calculated to identify failure-prone orientations, and directional predictions provide before-and-after property comparisons.

Probabilistic Seismic Hazard Analysis

Full PSHA implementation for South Africa quantifies seismic hazard at any location. Peak Ground Acceleration values at standard engineering return periods (50, 100, 475 and 2475 years) enable building design compliance and property-level risk assessment. Interactive hazard curves provide visual disaggregation of seismic sources.
