Consulting for resilient soil and infrastructure protection
Since 1949, IPROconsult has been supporting complex projects as a general planner – with interdisciplinary expertise, scientific foundations, and a clear goal: sustainable and resilient solutions for municipalities, businesses, and infrastructure.
Climate change intensifies soil erosion
Climate change, extreme weather, and soil erosion are putting pressure on our resources – with significant economic consequences:
- Massive land loss: worldwide, around 15 million km² of land are already deraded, with about 1 million km² added every year.
- High losses from soil erosion: 75 billion tons of soil are lost annually – with damages exceeding 400 billion USD.
- Increase in extreme rainfall: For each degree of warming, the intensity of heavy rainfall events increases by about +7% – with massive consequences for erosion and flooding.
The Consequences for Agriculture, Cities, and Infrastructure
The impacts are felt across multiple sectors:
- Agriculture: crop failures, nutrient loss
- Cities and municipalities: flooded neighborhoods, damage to roads and buildings
- Infrastructure: washouts, flooding and sediment deposits, business interruptions
- Insurance: rising claims, unclear risk profiles
- Water management: impaired water quality, reservoir sedimentation, higher treatment costs
Our Complete Package for Erosion Protection
We support you from detailed analysis through to successful implementation. Effective erosion risk management – scientific, practical, and tailored to your needs:
- Modeling and risk assessment: modeling, reports, concepts, and recommendations for identifying and qualifying erosion-prone areas.
- Expert reports and strategies: based on in-house model development and research partnerships, we provide solid foundations for planning and risk prevention.
Focus areas: hazard and risk analysis, planning and implementation of protective measures. - Consulting and project development: practical adaptation and protection concepts for municipalities, infrastructure, agriculture, and businesses.
- Implementation support: assistance from planning measures to realization – including accompanying monitoring.
A key component: our JUWICON simulation tool for precise erosion and heavy rainfall analyses.
Your Benefits
- Early detection and prevention instead of costly maintenance
- Economic resilience through minimized risks
- Long-term protection for infrastructure, land, and investments
Who We Work With
Our consulting services are aimed at everyone with responsibility for land, networks, and investments:
- Municipalities and urban planners – climate-adapted neighborhood and district development
- Infrastructure operators – protection of critical networks
- Agriculture and consultants – safeguarding land and yields
- Insurance and reinsurance companies – reliable risk data for prevention
- Companies and investors – security for sites and investments
A Look Inside the Tool (Video)
Where is there an erosion hazard during heavy rainfall? JUWICON makes these hazards visible with EROSION-3D simulations and offers first guidance for preventive action.
The video shows just how simple the application is: choose an area, enter the relevant data, and instantly assess the risk level.
