Sixense is an international group of companies with a clear mission to monitor the condition and integrity of assets and infrastructures, together with the surrounding natural environment. In doing so, we support safe construction, safeguard operations, and optimise maintenance.
Sixense in the VINCI group
Sixense, part of VINCI, was formed in 2016 by integrating nine existing companies, some with more than 25 years of experience. Combining the activities of these companies has created four key areas of expertise:
• Engineering: specialised engineering services
• Monitoring: instrumentation and monitoring solutions
• Mapping: digitisation of existing structures
• Digital: software and process digitisation solutions
Introducing Sixense Satellite
Sixense Satellite was established in Barcelona in 2018 to centralise all the group’s satellite monitoring capabilities into a single centre of excellence.
Since then, Sixense Satellite has experienced steady growth, becoming a worldwide reference in displacement monitoring with satellite data (InSAR) as well as other satellite-based monitoring services.
In just a few years, we have built an exceptional team that delivers satellite monitoring services to governments, private companies, international institutions and agencies.
