Orkus, four ways Klarian’s new platform is changing geohazard management
Geohazard events can have disastrous effects on pipelines, road networks, and railways.
The consequences of poorly managed geohazard risks are serious, costing companies millions of dollars in fixes and delays, and potentially polluting the local environment. Good geohazard management is essential. And it’s essential that developers and operators have the best tools for the job.
This is why Klarian and Thurber Engineering are excited to announce Orkus, a new proactive geohazard risk management platform.
Orkus has been developed with experts in geohazards to be flexible, resilient and effective. It harnesses earth sciences and spatial data for proactive geohazard risk management to protect critical assets and infrastructure.
Complete with a mobile app to support field operations, Orkus streamlines effective geohazard management in 4 key ways:
Centralised Data Management and Visualisation
Orkus helps users manage and organise data from assets, external data sources, and site-specific assessments in one place. Easily store, access, and view complex datasets, including vector and raster formats. This centralised system improves decision-making and teamwork by giving everyone a clear, shared view of each site.
Customisable Workflows and Algorithm Development
Orkus allows users to customise asset management programmes with flexible workflows and tools to create algorithms. You can build custom ranking systems and set up workflows to match specific hazards, consequences, projects, or system needs. This allows for user generated, easily auditable risk frameworks which promote consistent results for all assessments.
Data Structures for Enhanced Spatial Queries
Orkus is designed with an advanced data structure that makes spatial queries more precise. It allows you to perform location-based analysis, like identifying which assets intersect with a site and grouping them into a single assessment. Geospatial data, paired with powerful mapping tools allows you to extract deeper insights from your data.
Bespoke Assessment Forms
Orkus makes it easy to create custom assessment forms to meet your specific needs. Whether you need standard forms for your team or customised for a particular project, Orkus ensures that data collection is tailored to your goals and the specific site, with offline capability to cope with remote locations. This flexibility helps improve the accuracy and relevancy of the data collected, leading to better decisions and prioritisation.
Climate change brings with it new threats, and developers need to be prepared with the strongest processes and the best technology. Orkus makes mapping and prioritising risks straightforward so you can focus on action.
