InfraTerra provides specialized capabilities in reliability assessment of geographically distributed lifeline systems. Aboveground and underground high voltage transmission lines traverse areas of diverse geo-hazards. Localized damage to components of these systems can cascade through the grid with major consequences that can impact all aspects of a modern functioning society. InfraTerra staff provide a complete range of geologic and engineering services ranging from:

• Geologic characterization of transmission line corridors
• Mapping of earthquake and non-earthquake geo-hazards
• Site-specific subsurface investigations
• Soil-structure interaction analysis of buried ductbanks
• Structural analysis of above ground transmission towers and substations
