Delve into the depths of historical data and uncover invaluable insights with the Atlas InSAR solution.
By using the extensive SAR data archive available, you can develop a deeper understanding of past vulnerabilities on your site, ensuring your construction designs take into account any prevalent conditions.
With Atlas InSAR, you gain insight into ground movements over time, and use the historical data to optimise project performance and protect against potential claims.
• Global SAR data acquisition: Since the early 1990s, space agencies like ESA, JAXA, and CSA have operated SAR-equipped satellites that have been capturing images of the Earth’s surface all around the globe.
• Access to historical ground motion: Atlas InSAR technology enables us to delve into these archives, revealing not only where the ground has moved but also the extent of that movement across all locations where the images were acquired.
• Comprehensive understanding of past deformation: Atlas InSAR is the only technology that provides a comprehensive understanding of historical ground and structural movement, empowering stakeholders to make informed decisions.
• Planning and design phases: Historical studies provide valuable insights through retrospective mapping of deformations that may impact the future construction site.
• Smart site selection: Atlas InSAR serves as a vital tool for site selection and characterisation, providing added value before construction begins.
• Inventory of critical points: With their extensive spatial coverage, historical radar images are particularly effective for creating an initial inventory of critical spots. This is especially useful along transport corridors spanning hundreds of kilometres, such as railways or highways.
• Ground instability detection: Atlas InSAR allows for the easy identification of natural subsidence, active slopes, and landslide-prone regions, enabling the implementation of mitigation actions for any affected infrastructure.
• Optimised instrumentation: Traditional instrumentation networks and strategies gain efficiency when they build on the results of historical InSAR analyses.
• Long-term displacement trends: Historical studies measure the spatial extent and patterns of past movement. This determines where the instruments are needed, the most appropriate types of sensor, and the required sensitivity and measurement frequency.
• Pre-existing deformation mapping: Historical ground motion mapping enables the creation of detailed ground motion maps that extend beyond the immediate site area and back in time. This allows for the identification of infrastructure and buildings already affected by deformation prior to the start of the works.
• Claims defense evidence: Atlas InSAR has been utilised globally as a powerful tool in defending against unjustified claims, offering clear, indisputable evidence in legal disputes. Sixense can assist claims managers in using this data effectively.
