CASE STUDIES
Arup specialists working with humanitarian organisations.
Following the Indian Ocean tsunami in December 2004, Arup provided technical assistance during the immediate relief phase by seconding key staff to non-governmental organisations (NGOs). Subsequently, Arup advised humanitarian organisations on post-disaster reconstruction, advocating appropriate design and sound construction to prevent collapse following earthquakes.

ARUP - TSUNAMI HAZARD ASSESSMENT FOR CONSTITUCIÓN, CHILE
Our assessment contributed to the development of a more resilient community as part of the post-disaster masterplanning for the town.
Following the initiative of several stakeholders, the city was given a complete overhaul. A consortium was established to draft a Sustainable Reconstruction Plan (PRES). Arup was chosen to re-design the city’s waterfront and began by drafting a Sustainable Spatial Reconstruction Plan.
