Working in an emergency context is, at best, a very challenging task. It significantly differs from the normal activities of design engineers due to the need for quick responses in a very short time. For this reason, choices and decisions are typically driven by experience, which is usually an effective approach to solving common problems.
However, this is not always the case.
Different problems and challenges cannot always be addressed with the same solutions. They require special measures that can only be implemented through careful on-site surveys.
To achieve this while saving time and resources and avoiding major mistakes, the right tools are vital for assessing situations and providing proper responses.
The following articles contain various technical recommendations that are the result of several years of field experience. Their purpose is to support engineers working in challenging contexts, such as emergencies and situations with inadequate equipment.
