Project Profile
Environmental Risk Assessment for Hazardous Materials Storage and Distribution Facility
Learn how 小蝌蚪视频 performed an environmental risk assessment to determine a facility's groundwater contamination and improve continued operations.
Project Objectives
#1
Perform a Quantitative Risk and Vulnerability Assessment (QRVA)
#2
Divide the project into distinct phases covering internal and external risk events
#3
Ascertain the level of risk posed by the facility to surrounding groundwater
#4
Deliver best practices and technology recommendations for the facility moving forward
Our Solution
A baseline QRVA was performed and the project was divided into distinct phases covering internal and external events, including fire, flooding, seismic and more. In its entirety, the QRVA covered the following:
- Internal Flooding
- Internal Fires
- External Flooding (e.g., tsunami and heavy precipitation)
- External Fires
- Seismic Events (e.g., earthquakes)
- Other External Events:
- High Winds
- Storms (e.g., tornados, hurricanes, etc.)
- Landslides/Mudslides
- Proximity Transportation Accidents
- Proximity Aircraft Crashes
- External Hazardous Material or Chemical Spills or Releases
- Extreme Weather (e.g., high temperature, etc.)
- Other Facility-Specific Hazards (e.g., location-dependent hazards)
Value Delivered
Our comprehensive risk assessment for the facility owner contributed to continued operations and included recommendations for design and operational procedural improvements, which further reduced the facility’s overall risk.
