Applications
- 10.5.1 Transmission Line Vegetation Encroachment — Detecting trees, shrubs and fast-growing vegetation encroaching on high-voltage transmission line corridors before contact causes outages, fires or cascading grid failures.
- 10.5.2 Pipeline Right-of-Way Monitoring — Detecting encroachment, ground movement, unauthorised excavation and vegetation overgrowth along oil, gas and water pipeline corridors using multi-modal satellite observation.
- 10.5.3 Cable Trench Construction — Monitoring active cable trench excavation and backfill progress along utility corridors using high-revisit optical and SAR satellite imagery to verify schedules and detect encroachments.
- 10.5.4 Substation Activity — Monitoring electrical substations from orbit to detect construction activity, equipment changes, operational anomalies and potential sabotage using multispectral and thermal imagery.
- 10.5.5 Corridor Subsidence Detection — Using satellite radar interferometry to measure millimetre-scale ground deformation along utility corridors, flagging subsidence before it fractures buried infrastructure.
