Service focus

JMG Engineering Geology expertise

This expertise connects geological information, field data and risk analysis with physical planning, infrastructure development, community safety and more effective mitigation action.

Risk mapping

Slope mapping and PBRC

Slope, hazard-zone and risk mapping provides the technical basis for safer development control, land-use planning and sensitive-area management.

Technical investigation

Forensics and site investigation

Field investigation, geophysics and site analysis help agencies understand event causes, subsurface conditions and the required follow-up action.

Preparedness

Mitigation and early warning

The combination of slope monitoring, engineering solutions and community engagement strengthens preparedness for landslides, debris flows and slope instability.

Technical data

NaTSIS and subsurface data

Engineering geology data, terrain maps and subsurface information support development decisions that are more integrated and easier to reference.
