Risk profiling of major infrastructures is critical in an increasingly challenging world influenced by social, environmental, legal and political factors. This risk management model and approach provides both a conceptual and systematic framework to the identification of hazards, vulnerability assessment and risk control methodology to the design and building of infrastructure and structures in environmentally constrained environments. Key areas of focus will include a pro-active look at physical building constraints, location, fire and essential services, and the impact of neighbouring facilities and utilities.
