Ongoing monitoring
Detect ground and structural movement early, monitor continuously
Track ground and structural movements as they happen. Our ongoing InSAR monitoring provides regular, high-precision updates of how your assets behave over time, helping you identify emerging risks early and respond with confidence. With satellite revisits every 6-12 days, you receive consistent, near-continuous insight without the need for on-site equipment or disruption.
The value of continuous monitoring
Ground movements evolve. Slopes accelerate before failure, settlement develops as loads consolidate, and seasonal cycles cause expansion and contraction that may stress structures over time.
Our continuous monitoring service captures these patterns as they develop, helping you distinguish between stable conditions, ongoing movement, and accelerating displacement that may indicate developing problems and early signs of risk.
Early detection enables early intervention - the earlier you detect change, the more remediation options you have, and the lower the cost of intervention.
How it works
Your monitoring programme is built around your site, risks and reporting needs.
Each new satellite acquisition is processed through our proprietary software to update displacement measurements and track how movement rates and patterns are evolving.
Automated alerts with predefined thresholds highlight significant changes, giving you early warning and time to respond to emerging issues.
Deliverables
Your monitoring outputs are bespoke to how you operate and make decisions.
You receive regular, high-precision displacement maps and time-series data at intervals that suit you, scheduled by time or project milestones.
Live dashboard access provides visibility of current conditions, while alerts highlight significant changes as they occur.
Periodic reporting brings everything together, interpreting trends, providing context, and identifying areas that require attention.
For regulated industries or major infrastructure, data can be delivered in formats ready for submission to oversight bodies.
Applications
Ongoing monitoring supports asset owners, operators, and regulators across high-risk sectors:
Infrastructure: track embankments, cuttings, bridges, and retaining structures across transport networks.
Mining: monitor pit walls, tailings facilities, and subsidence risk.
Property portfolios: screen large numbers of assets for early signs of movement.
Construction: understand ground response to excavation, loading, and dewatering.
Natural hazards: monitor slopes, coastlines and known risk areas for change.
Across every sector, InSAR delivers wide-area coverage and measurement density at a scale that traditional point-based monitoring cannot match.
Integrated monitoring
InSAR enhances traditional instrumentation by adding site-wide context.
While ground-based sensors - survey points, inclinometers, extensometers, piezometers - provide precise measurements at fixed locations, InSAR reveals how movement develops across the wider area.
We work alongside survey and instrumentation specialists to integrate InSAR with ground-based observations for comprehensive and reliable monitoring programmes.
Scalability
Satellite monitoring offers seamless scalability, from single sites to national asset networks.
With comprehensive coverage across the satellite’s footprint, monitoring multiple locations adds minimal additional cost, making InSAR an exceptionally efficient solution for organisations with geographically dispersed portfolios.
We offer clients of all sizes, whether individual property owners or national infrastructure operators, bespoke monitoring solutions tailored to the scale, complexity and strategic priorities of your portfolio.
