Winner of the 2006 “New Venture Business Plan” competition at Louisiana State University, Engensus is a private company offering comprehensive hurricane engineering and consulting services.
We help businesses, industry, government agencies, private citizens, and insurance companies quantify risks and reduce future hurricane damage by characterizing hurricane threats, assessing infrastructure vulnerabilities, predicting consequences and recommending targeted mitigation.
Engensus is located in South Louisiana, but focuses on work in any area of the world prone to tropical cyclone activity.
Engensus was started in 2006.
Engensus was started to help reduce future hurricane damage and improve public safety by assisting businesses and public entities in understanding and managing their hurricane risk.
Hurricane Engineering is a new branch of civil engineering that aims to minimize the threat to the natural and built environment, processes and human safety.
The concepts of Hurricane Engineering have been in development at LSU over the past six years with a major grant from the National Science Foundation. The concept is similar to Earthquake Engineering.
Hurricanes can have a severe impact on both human health and safety and the economic environment. Hurricanes can cause large productivity losses and crippling damage to a city’s infrastructure.
We work with a variety of organizations, from architects and engineers to risk managers and government entities.
Engensus is derived from the latin word for engineering, ingeniosus, which also means “skilled”. We figured “Ingeniosus” was too hard to pronounce, so we put a twist on it and decided on “EN-GEN-SUS”
