STORMS – Strategies and tools for resilience of buried infrastructure to meteorological shocks

Dr Xilin Xia, Assistant Professor in Resilience Engineering, University of Birmingham, will present on the DAFNI-funded STORMS project – Strategies and Tools for Resilience of Buried Infrastructure to Meteorological Shocks.

STORMS has developed a weather-related risk assessment framework to increase resilience to weather-related risks, including analysing soil structure data and damage calculations for buried pipes. DAFNI is being used for the workflows and visualisations.

The STORMS project also models what may happen in the future and can be used to help map required adaptations for climate change and to increase resilience at network and national scale to inform national guidance.
