Save $1000s on Infrastructure Asset Monitoring with Satellite Data
About us
Assess the infrastructure susceptibility risk of entire networks in minutes. GEOFEM is a leading satellite data consultancy firm which combines 20+ years of geotechnical and GIS knowledge for infrastructure projects worldwide. Climate change and heavier use are increasing the risks of geohazards to infrastructure. In-situ monitoring alone can be insufficient for these new threats, making responses: •Reactive, costing 10x more than proactive remediation with emergency repairs driving up expenses (US Department of Defence). •Disruptive: landslides near Woking, England in December 2023 led to a reduction in service (BBC News) that cost South Western Rail around £100,000 p/h. •Expensive: Proactive treatments for subsidence (such as resin injections) cost £1000 on average. Reactive treatments (such as piling) can cost around £12,500 (Checkatrade.com), a 1,150% increase. Tackling these issues is the basis on which GEOFEM was founded. GEOFEM combines satellite data with geotechnical engineering insight to save stakeholders £1000s on their infrastructure projects. Let us know your area of interest and we will: •Access historical ground displacement data to establish trends and access predictions for ground movement in their areas of interest. •Create susceptibility maps to assess the risk of the area to geohazards such as landslides, subsidence, and sinkholes. •Present this data in an accessible and consistently updated format via our GIS platform, EYEGIS. SAR data can detect defects before they become visually apparent, allowing you to: •Save money, time, and resources by prioritising tasks. •Have access to all the information about safety scores and risk assessments for infrastructure. •Improve the resilience of assets to the risks of geohazards exacerbated by climate change and heavier use.

Rail tunnels 🛤 are critical #infrastructure assets, but they face significant risks from #geohazards such as #landslides, ground displacement, and #subsidence ⚠. These threats can compromise the structural integrity of tunnels, leading to costly repairs, service disruptions, and potential safety hazards. For #rail🚂 operators, ensuring the safety and reliability of tunnels is paramount ✅.

In summer 2024, a neighbourhood in South Carolina felt the effects of a serious #landslide. Conditions worsened in an area where a long-running landslide has damaged houses, roads, and utilities. Gas utility in the area had to be shut off due to significant strain on #infrastructure. The land is moving up to 9 inches (23cm) per week. The gas company is reported to have said it would give $2,500 to each account holder (msn.com) to help with immediate needs such as food. Moreover, there was no estimate for the restoration of services. These payouts, as large as they are for the utility company, are just the tip of the iceberg. Money could have been saved, and damage mitigated by monitoring the area for #geohazards, allowing stakeholders to spot the landslide and take proactive action before it had a chance to accelerate.
