Government & Public Sector Programs

Climate Adaptation & Resilience Planning

Zamin supports agencies and program managers in evaluating physical climate risks and developing infrastructure strategies that enhance resilience for key infrastructure, such as power distribution assets like substations, transportation infrastructure like roadways, and commercial development like buildings. We combine engineering, climate data, and planning expertise to identify vulnerabilities, quantify impacts, and design solutions that reduce long-term operational and capital costs, while protecting critical infrastructure.

Focus areas include:

• Climate Risk Assessment: modeling exposure to heat, wild-fires, flooding, drought, and energy disruptions.

• Resilient Infrastructure Planning: identifying adaptation priorities for utilities, transportation, and critical facilities.

• Nature-Based Solutions: integrating green infrastructure for flood control, cooling, and ecosystem restoration.

• Community Resilience Frameworks: aligning projects with local hazard mitigation and adaptation plans.

• Framework Compliance and Alignment: applying guidance from established programs such as EPRI, FEMA, NOAA, and state-level climate adaptation frameworks to ensure consistency, defensibility, and eligibility for federal funding.

Low Carbon Policy & Program Support

We help public-sector clients incorporate embodied and operational carbon reduction strategies into their procurement and capital programs. Our work ensures that infrastructure investment is compliant, fundable, and aligned with emerging sustainability standards.

Focus areas include:

• Buy Clean and Procurement Policy: integrating material-level carbon limits and supplier disclosure requirements.

• Grant and Funding Alignment: supporting applications for DOE, DOT, EPA, and Inflation Reduction Act programs.

• Carbon Accounting and Reporting: developing data-driven frameworks for performance tracking and disclosure.

• Infrastructure Decarbonization: identifying opportunities to reduce emissions in construction, operations, and maintenance.

• Framework Compliance and Alignment: applying methodologies from FHWA INVEST, GHG Protocol, ISO 14083, and federal sustainability guidance to ensure project documentation meets audit, reporting, and funding requirements.

Partnerships & Subcontracting

Zamin is structured to support large consulting, design, and engineering firms as a specialized subconsultant on sustainability, decarbonization, and resiliency scopes. We provide subject-matter expertise that strengthens proposal teams and ensures delivery meets both technical and policy expectations.

Partnership capabilities include:

• Technical Advisory: embodied carbon, materials decarbonization, and low-carbon procurement.

• Climate Adaptation and Resilience: risk assessments, planning frameworks, and stakeholder engagement.

• Program Integration: support for design-build and CMAR teams to embed sustainability early in delivery.

• Accessibility and Compliance: ensuring that infrastructure improvements incorporate ADA and equity objectives.

Integrated Public-Sector Services

Zamin connects policy, planning, and implementation into unified sustainability frameworks for public infrastructure. Our approach ensures that decarbonization, climate resilience, and community objectives reinforce one another rather than compete for resources.

We work across departments and delivery teams to align sustainability goals with engineering feasibility, funding criteria, and long-term asset management. Whether supporting agencies directly or partnering with large consulting firms, our role is to make sustainability measurable, defensible, and actionable.

Integrated support includes:

• Developing multi-criteria sustainability frameworks that merge resilience, carbon, and equity metrics.

• Advising on grant documentation and verification protocols that tie directly to design and construction deliverables.

• Coordinating among planners, engineers, and contractors to embed sustainability throughout project delivery.

• Preparing defensible documentation for funding audits, ESG reporting, and program evaluation.
