Embankments, cuttings and corridor structures

Rail & Road

Monitor corridor-scale movement to support safer, more reliable transport infrastructure.

The problem

Track and carriageway defects are symptoms of ground that has been moving for years. Inspecting a corridor means possessions, closures and cost — so it happens rarely, and only where a problem is already suspected.

How we approach it

Whole-route measurement from orbit, with no access required and no disruption to operations. Seasonal clay behaviour is isolated from the persistent settlement that actually warrants intervention.

What you get

  • Route-wide coverage without possessions or closures
  • Seasonal movement separated from structural trend
  • Intervention prioritised by measured rate, not inspection order
  • Evidence for renewals business cases

01

Reconstruct the baseline

Years of archive radar are processed before anything new is captured, so the first delivery already shows how the ground has behaved rather than only where it stands today.

02

Measure every pass

Each new acquisition is processed against the same reference, giving a continuous displacement history for every stable reflector across the asset and its surroundings.

03

Separate signal from season

Seasonal swelling and shrinkage is isolated from persistent movement, so a rate that warrants attention is not confused with ground that returns to where it started.

Rank and report

Structures are ranked by measured rate against thresholds you set, with the displacement history behind every flag available as evidence.
