Critical infrastructure resilience assessment

Quantitative assessment of the resilience of critical infrastructures.

Quantitative assessment of the resilience of critical infrastructures.

Resilience is a plant’s performance measurement and is represented both by the ability to survive a natural disaster and to promptly restore operating conditions, recovering the initial production capacity. Despite both in scientific literature and in the professional world the importance of the topic has been recognized, an official methodology capable of properly quantifying resilience is still needed.

SafePlant has developed a method to estimate manufacturing plants’ resilience (Kalemi 2019, Paolacci 2019) in the event of extreme natural events, such as earthquakes. It allows the direct valuation of losses following a natural disaster, the time course for the recovery of production capacity and the estimation of losses resulting from non-production and damage to equipment.

The calculation procedure was implemented in the Matlab© environment, thus developing an original software called PRIAMUS
