FAQs

What is InSAR?

InSAR, or Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar, is a remote sensing technique that uses radar images from satellites to measure ground deformation with millimeter-level precision. It works by analyzing the phase difference between two radar images of the same area taken at different times, which reveals even tiny movements in the Earth's surface.

How does utility mapping work?

Utility mapping works by using a combination of non-invasive technologies like electromagnetic (EM) locators and Ground-Penetrating Radar (GPR) to detect, locate, and map underground infrastructure such as pipes and cables. Data from these surveys is then compiled into a detailed map using specialized software, sometimes integrating with existing Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and BIM models to create a comprehensive record of utility locations and depths.

What benefits do our robotic inspections offer?

Our Deep Trekker crawlers inspect pipelines remotely, reducing risk and catching issues early. Robotic inspections offer enhanced safety, increased efficiency, improved accuracy, and cost savings. Robots can access hazardous or difficult-to-reach areas, perform inspections faster and more consistently than humans, and provide more precise data, ultimately reducing downtime and preventing costly failures.

Who can benefit from your services?

Organizations managing critical assets and infrastructure find our insights invaluable. Robotic inspection services primarily benefit industries that operate in hazardous, hard-to-reach, or complex environments where precision, safety, and efficiency are paramount. The key beneficiaries are companies, asset managers, and inspection service providers across numerous sectors.

How do you ensure data accuracy?

We combine advanced tech and expert analysis for precise, reliable monitoring results. Ensuring data accuracy from our inspection and monitoring services relies on a combination of advanced sensor integration, meticulous operational procedures, rigorous data processing and analysis, and utilizing tried and tested instruments and instrument providers.
