The Tropical Storm Risk (TSR) forecast for the 2025 Atlantic hurricane season is for an average season with 15 named storms, 7 hurricanes, and 3 major hurricanes.
BHATE Geosciences Corporation can assist with conducting an inventory of pre-disaster ‘Infrastructure Assets’ and potential replacement costs in the event of damage or destruction of those assets. This can also include Subsurface Utility Mapping and Inventory. Before the incident happens, it is the time to conduct inventory of assets and develop courses of action and a recovery plan to recoup disaster costs.
For areas that are at a higher risk for natural disaster situations, infrastructure condition assessment is a convenient and cost-effective way to document assets for filing future FEMA reimbursement claims. It provides useful information for assessing roads and associated assets before and after a disaster to help accelerate and justify repairs, reconstruction, and funding from FEMA. BHATE can develop a detailed inventory file of existing pavement conditions.
Subsurface Utility Inventory and Mapping: We recommend the following process:
1) A review of existing documents and surface site features to compile existing utility information without site disturbance
2) Use of various technologies to identify the locations of underground utilities
3) Excavation and potholing services, if required, to identify critical utility locations
4) Full survey to compile area specific utility maps
5) 3-D modeling of underground utilities, if required
Pre-existing contracts with qualified vendors for disaster recovery services can expedite response and recovery.
How can BHATE help?
BHATE uses an air-launched vehicle mounted GPR system in conjunction with other industry recognized proprietary software to perform a comprehensive pavement thickness and surface condition assessment. All data collection is conducted at traffic speed and does not require any lane closures or traffic disruptions.
