Hazards

Geological hazards

The aim of this project was to develop a spatial model that would provide information on the environmental, topographical and geohazard factors contributing to pipe failures within the Yorkshire Water region. Outputs from the model included significant factors causing pipe failure in the Yorkshire Water region, and maps of model residuals highlighting under or over-predictions of the density of pipe failures.
