What Causes Embankment Failures After a Disaster?
Our teams respond to the most common and destructive post-disaster embankment issues, including:
- Rainfall-Induced Slope Failures – Saturated soils collapse, taking roads and rail lines offline
- Flood-Eroded Embankments – Fast-moving water undermines slopes and structures
- Post-Wildfire Debris Flows – Destroy slope integrity and cause widespread washouts
- Earthquake-Triggered Landslides – Displace embankments and compromise nearby foundations
- Severe Erosion at Critical Corridors – Damages access routes and threatens public safety
