SqueeSAR™ is used to quantify and map ground movement over power plant sites.
By identifying a high density of ground measurement points, SqueeSAR™ can be used to monitor site-wide surface deformation at power plants. The high accuracy of such surface deformation maps can accurately identify ground deformation that could threaten infrastructure integrity.
Site Stability Mapping
The ability to monitor large areas with a single analysis allows differential displacement measurements to be calculated over the entire expanse of a power plant. An understanding of ground displacement rates allows engineers to identify subsiding and uplifting areas that could potentially damage infrastructure, and assists in the creation of risk models.
Regular monitoring of ground movement provides an early indication in changes of subsidence or uplift rate, over all power plant types.
Site Planning
Using a historic archive of satellite imagery, SqueeSAR™ can determine stable ground areas for potential new power plant sites. SqueeSAR™ also provides maps of ground stability and movement to assist in the planning of power plant extensions and site decommissioning.
Remote Monitoring
Radar satellite monitoring identifies natural and man-made targets already present on the ground to monitor surface displacement, requiring no ground-based instrumentation.
