Mastering Earthquake Hazards.
Pakistan sits along one of the most tectonically active zones on Earth, where the collision of the Indian and Eurasian plates has produced major fault systems and a long history of destructive earthquakes. GeoHaz Solutions has experience to study this seismic landscape, giving engineering firms, developers, and government agencies the site-specific hazard data needed to design for the earthquakes this region will eventually experience — not just the code minimum.
GeoHaz Solutions provides seismic hazard analysis, active fault characterization & PGD studies across Pakistan — 14 years assessing earthquake risk for safe design.
From deterministic seismic hazard analysis to site-specific ground motion response, we deliver the technical precision required for modern infrastructure development. Our approach integrates local geological data with international standards to provide actionable insights for engineers and developers.
Surface Fault Rupture
We identify and characterize surface fault traces to assess the risk of direct ground rupture at a site — a hazard that no amount of structural design can fully mitigate, making avoidance and setback planning essential.
Permanent Ground Displacement
Our PGD assessments evaluate the risk of lateral spreading, liquefaction-induced settlement, and other permanent ground movement triggered by seismic shaking, informing foundation design and site suitability decisions.
Active Fault Characterization
Detailed characterization of nearby active faults — including slip rate, recurrence interval, and rupture history — feeds directly into both seismic hazard analysis and land-use planning near fault zones.
Paleoseismological Studies
By examining geological evidence of past earthquakes, our paleoseismological studies extend the earthquake record back thousands of years beyond written history, improving the accuracy of long-term hazard estimates for major infrastructure.
Seismotectonic Modelling
We model the regional tectonic framework and stress conditions driving seismicity, providing the scientific basis for site-specific ground motion estimates used in critical facility design.
Seismic Hazard Analysis
Our probabilistic and deterministic seismic hazard analyses (PSHA & DSHA) quantify expected ground shaking levels at a given site, supporting building code compliance, dam and bridge design, and insurance or lender risk assessments..
