01
InSAR ground movement
Millimetre-scale displacement across the full site, with years of history.
Sentinel-1 SAR · Commercial SAR satellites
Satellite and drone mapping
GeoIntel
Ground movement and hazards, mapped from orbit before anything is installed.
Satellite radar interferometry (InSAR) measures ground displacement at millimetre scale, with a multi-year archive. Optical imagery and drone photogrammetry detect new landslides, debris-flow paths and site change. Delivered in weeks. No equipment on site.
Operational question
“Has the ground under the site moved, and how fast?”
Constraints we address
- Instrument locations are chosen without evidence.
- No baseline exists for ground movement before the project.
- Change and encroachment at the site boundary go undetected.
- Stockpile and earthwork volumes are estimated, not measured.
