Disaster Recovery Engineering: How BG&E Gets Communities Moving Again
from Inside BG&E · host BG&E
In this episode of Inside BG&E, we explore how emergency and disaster recovery projects move from initial damage assessment to scoped, fundable and buildable solutions. BG&E’s Emergency and Disaster Recovery team discusses what rapid response really means in practice, how eligibility and value-for-money requirements shape recovery programs, and why this work is so different from a traditional infrastructure project. Featuring Max Gregori - Emergency & Disaster Recovery Lead, Ashleigh Lawrence - Senior Engineer and Hasini Perera - Experienced Civil Engineer, this conversation covers disaster recovery engineering, DRFA-style recovery delivery, like-for-like restoration, treatment optioneering, site constraints, resilience considerations, and the real-world challenge of reconnecting roads and communities after floods, cyclones, landslides and other natural disasters. The episode also highlights the human side of recovery work, and the impact engineers can have when essential transport links are restored.
