WATERLAND Consulting results from the decision of POLITHEMA società di ingegneria srl and SEA Consulting Srl, both based in Turin (Italy), of joining their expertise in order to expand commercial activities at national and international level.

WATERLAND Consulting operates in the field of land management and natural risk assessment providing services to public agencies and private companies by offering specialist expertise in the overlapping disciplines of geotechnical and hydraulic engineering, engineering geology and agronomy/forestry. WATERLAND Consulting provides consultancies related to all processes that model the landscape and may affect urban or rural settlements, slopes and mountainous areas (i.e. landslides, debris-flows, rockfalls and avalanches, etc.) or flood plains.


WATERLAND Consulting action aims at developing and applying quantitative approaches in order to describe natural risk in terms of spatial and temporal occurrence. This information is combined with data related to exposed elements in order to assess consequences, define the risk level and devise engineering solutions to reduce possible damages.

WATERLAND Consulting services are provided by highly qualified staff (40+ people) with national and international academic training.

The combination of expertises in the field of geology, geomorphology, agronomy, forestry, hydraulic- and geotechnical- engineering allows the definition of procedures defined in accordance with criteria of sustainable development. WATERLAND Consulting approach can be summarised as follows: problem analysis, definition of all the alternatives in order to prevent or minimize damages and environmental impacts, identification of the most suitable structural/non-structural solutions and supervision during their implementation.

The protection and preservation of land resources, water and soil in particular, has become a major public issue. WATERLAND Consulting provides high quality analysis and experience to define environmental conditions and to depict processes dynamics. Quantitative analyses are applied to forecast natural events evolution, to devise and design structures and/or strategies, to prevent or mitigate consequences and to choose the best solution based on cost/benefits approach.

Natural processes are modelled according to methodologies developed by WATERLAND Consulting professionals or approaches widely documented by scientific publications. All analyses are performed by means of GIS based applications, as geographic data interpretation is a key factor for risk assessment and land management.
