Welcome to Infrastucture Connect
GeoscienceThis collaborative project between Scott Wilson, the University of Durham (UK) and seconded staff from government departments in Nepal and Bhutan has developed techniques that allow rapid landslide assessment for rural access planning and management. Fieldwork and analysis were carried out by local engineers and researchers. Local farmers, communities and engineers have participated in the project and have been actively involved through training and practical demonstrations. Outputs from the project are designed to be applied in the Himalayan region, but could be effectively applied in other mountain regions where landslides impact on both rural infrastructure and mountain communities.
