The Impact of Tropical Storms on Infrastructure

Tropical storms bring intense rainfall, high winds, and coastal storm surges, all of which can trigger severe geohazards such as landslides, rockfalls, flooding, and ground subsidence. These events pose significant risks to roadways, railways, power infrastructure, and other critical assets. Without proper mitigation and timely tropical storm infrastructure repair, the aftermath can lead to prolonged disruptions, safety hazards, and costly recovery efforts.

Geohazard Risks Following a Tropical Storm

After a tropical storm, various geohazards can compromise infrastructure integrity, including:

Heavy rainfall saturates soil, leading to unstable slopes and sudden collapses that obstruct roadways and rail corridors.

Strong winds and water infiltration can loosen rock formations, increasing the risk of dangerous rockfalls in mountainous and hilly regions.

Floodwaters can erode embankments supporting roads, bridges, and railways, weakening foundations and making structures vulnerable to collapse.

Saturated soils and underground water movement can cause sudden sinkhole formation, endangering both transportation networks and structures.

Excessive water infiltration can undermine foundations, leading to instability in bridges, power substations, and commercial infrastructure.
