Resilience

Empowering Communities to Withstand and Recover

Resilience in infrastructure refers to the ability of infrastructure to withstand short-term emergencies and adapt to evolving conditions in the long term. LAN’s engineering efforts, across service groups, are rooted in this philosophy. Starting with the project planning process, we provide clients with current and projected resilience data to inform how these factors impact ultimate project effectiveness. Working collaboratively, we then incorporate appropriate resilience initiatives into the project.

As municipalities deal with population growth, climate change, rising sea levels, and supply chain stress, having sustainable infrastructure is necessary. At LAN, we are implementing resilience measures now and enabling communities to meet current and future challenges.
