  • Our virtual colleague, SARa 👱♀️, presents the the 6 steps on Measuring Building-Induced Deformation with InSAR. This is the first of 6 essential steps in our series. Step 1️⃣: Reference Point Determination 📌 Before analyzing structural movement, we must establish a stable reference point—but what happens when an entire city is subsiding?  How we do it: ✅ Identify the most stable geodetic control points. ✅ Apply advanced statistical averaging to create a reliable zero-movement baseline. ✅ Adapt to urban environments—like Rotterdam, where widespread subsidence requires precise localization. Each week, we’ll break down a new step in our proven 6-step methodology for monitoring urban stability. Stay tuned for Step 2️⃣! #BuildingStability #SkyGeo #UrbanDevelopment #GeospatialAnalysis

    Landslides Are on the Move — Are You Watching? 🛰️ NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration's radar study on the #PalosVerdes Peninsula just revealed that, during a four-week period in the fall of 2024, land in the residential area slid toward the ocean by as much as 4 inches (10 centimeters) per week. That’s not just shifting ground—it’s a silent but accelerating risk for infrastructure and communities. With #InSAR-powered monitoring, SkyGeo provides continuous, high-precision insights into ground deformation, helping engineers, city planners, and decision-makers detect instability before it becomes a crisis 📉. ➡️ Early Detection = Actionable Prevention ➡️ High-Resolution Data = Smarter Infrastructure Decisions ➡️ Continuous Monitoring = Long-Term Safety & Stability Los Angeles isn't alone—ground movement is happening worldwide 🌐. Want to see what’s shifting beneath your feet?

  • 🛰️ How the Millennium Tower Tilted—and What Cities Can Learn to Prevent It 🚨 Building Induced Deformations are a global challenge. A recent American Geophysical Union #AGU Publications study shows how #InSAR can uncover stability risks caused by buildings themselves. Under the direct research from our CEO, Pieter Bas Leezenberg, SkyGeo has led groundbreaking investigations into these risks in San Francisco, Miami, and Rotterdam. 🔑 Key Insights: 1️⃣ Hidden Risks in All Buildings: Historical SAR data revealed troubling ground movement in the Millennium Tower and Surfside building. Regular monitoring is essential. 2️⃣ A Global Issue: From Miami to Rotterdam, tall buildings on soft soil cause widespread stability concerns. 3️⃣ Wide-Area Effects: Large structures create subsidence bowls, affecting surrounding buildings. With 10+ years of expertise, #SkyGeo uses #InSAR analytics to safeguard urban growth and infrastructure. Want to learn how? Contact us today!

    Building Induced Deformations:  3 Learnings on Why Buildings Dangerously Tilt and Collapse We just read an unsettling and important study published in #AGU (American Geophysical Union Publications) about the stability of tall buildings in Miami.  A group of InSAR scientists including Pietro Milillo found that leveraging #InSAR can be predictive in discovering stability risks to buildings due to Building Induced Deformations, so instability caused by the buildings themselves.  You can find the article in link 1 in comments. These findings confirm three key insights that the SkyGeo team discovered working closely with customers on tall-building instability.  1. All buildings may have hidden stability problems. We did in-depth forensic investigation of the Millennium Tower in San Francisco and of the actual Surfside building that collapsed without any warning. Leveraging historical, high resolution SAR to gauge movement over time, we could see clear, and troubling movement over time.  It highlights the need for local civil engineers and zoning officials to constantly monitor and measure how buildings are impacting ground stability.  2. Miami & San Francisco’s building stability problems are global issues. Our in-depth InSAR interpretation work with Rotterdam’s geotechnical engineering teams showed similar building-induced deformations in the soft soil of the Netherlands - see link 2 in the Comments. Very high res SAR was essential and we carefully developed a 6-step InSAR forensics approach to understand the impact. We prescribe approaches to mitigating risk of tilting of existing and planned buildings 3. Large buildings have a wide-area effect – Time and time again, our InSAR analytics have found that tall buildings create a wide-area effect that causes surrounding buildings to tilt towards the new highrise, by inducing a local subsidence bowl.  In short, that data from Miami, Rotterdam, and San Francisco confirms that #BuildingInducedDeformation is a challenge wherever tall buildings with deep foundations are built on unconsolidated soil especially in a densely built up environment. The InSAR is the only way to look back in time over a wide area. This is magic for predicting building stability management in cities. You can see how these tall buildings move themselves … and how they induce movement in a wide area. Expert InSAR analytics and forensics can help better understand and mitigate potential risk if incorporated into the architectural and engineering planning of new buildings, and into zoning reviews by local governments.  If you're interested to learn more, talk to us!
