Assessing wind, waves, surge, and currents to understand risks, quantify uncertainties, and develop solutions to mitigate damage
INTERA staff bring the expertise to help reduce damage and protect assets from harm employing structural and non-structural (awareness, forecasting, and warning) solutions. Our experience ranges from improving the accuracy of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Flood Insurance Rate Maps to identifying vulnerable coastal infrastructure and conducting forensic studies to identify causes of coastal infrastructure damage. Through active research programs, we have developed improved methodologies to better design infrastructure to withstand erosion and wave forces.
