Roads, bridges, tunnels, waterways, ditch systems, dikes, sluices, coastal dunes, sewer systems, buildings, power lines, wind turbines, PV installations… In order to keep the engine of economic activities running smoothly, maintenance is critical.
Infrastructure maintenance requires recurrent inspection. Remote sensing is ideal for this task without stopping traffic. You get
- recorded data at every scale
local, regional, national, continental and global - encompassing spatial information
acquired by satellite platforms, planes, drones, cars, boats and tripods - highly diverse visual representation
with RGB photo or video cameras, multispectral or hyperspectral scanners, LiDAR, sonar and SAR scanners
That is exactly how it can support infrastructural development as well. To make sure it is well integrated in the environment, remote sensing data can assist you in better designing corridors for power lines, or improving long-term forecast modelling of land-use scenarios.
The umbrella term ‘geomatics’ covers critical spatial information used for infrastructure management and infrastructure planning. Looking for ways to integrate data acquisition, spatiotemporal databases, processing and hosting services into your business processes? We have the hands-on operational and R&D experience to guide you in adopting geomatics successfully.
