CATALYST INSIGHTS - Ground Displacement
Ground displacement is a subtle danger usually invisible to the naked eye. As the terrain sinks or rises by just a few centimeters per year, physical strain is put on nearby structures which may show no outward signs of damage until the breaking point is reached. Ground displacement can compromise the integrity of buildings, transportation networks, pipelines, dams, mines, and slopes, which can result in costly downtime, property damage, and loss of life.
With CATALYST INSIGHTS - Ground Displacement, you can take advantage of the latest innovations in satellite radar technology to help your business make better risk and investment decisions regarding critical infrastructure, buildings, safety ratings, loan portfolios, etc.
Using repeat pass Interferometric Synthetic-Aperture Radar (InSAR) satellite imagery (Sentinel-1), CATALYST, through CATALYST INSIGHTS - Ground Displacement, provides scientifically validated measurements to indicate displacement, down to the millimeter scale. The delivered data package includes displacement and velocity. Additional temporal or spatial frequency can be added using higher resolutions SAR satellites. This data allows you to monitor displacement and easily make use of this information within your organization for land monitoring, and other applications.
Manage risks
Climate change is accelerating the risk ground displacement poses to critical infrastructure around the world. Mitigate damage to your assets by monitoring this geohazard in near real-time.
Reliable monitoring
CATALYST INSIGHTS taps into satellite radar (SAR) constellations to cost-effectively acquire near real-time millimeter-level measurements of ground displacement around your assets.
Actionable intel
Flexible user interface and API makes it easy for business users and technology teams to access ground displacement measurements and alerts to augment their risk management solutions.
You can select the ground displacement monitoring of several infrastructure assets such as:
Powerlines
