INDUSTRIES WE SERVE: BUILT ENVIRONMENT
A clearer perspective across your built assets
As cities grow upward and outward, the ground beneath them becomes a critical variable. Imperceptible movements below the surface can compromise structural integrity long before they are visible above ground.
We identify change early and at scale, helping teams target investigation, prioritise intervention and build more resilient urban environments.
“Turn hidden ground movement into actionable insight.”
Leveraging for·see Risk, Geofem helps engineers detect changes across large areas, understand emerging ground risk and make more informed decisions about investigation, design and intervention.
“The ground is changing, but we don’t know where or why.”
Urban expansion increases pressure on complex ground conditions, while subtle movement can remain undetected until it becomes a visible or costly problem.
Connect the dots beneath the surface.
Geofem combines high-resolution satellite data with advanced moisture analytics to reveal patterns associated with changing ground and moisture conditions, and provides the context needed to understand emerging risks around buildings and underground structures.
“Sometimes, we only have part of the picture.”
Ground behaviour is rarely driven by a single factor. Changes in moisture, drainage and ground conditions can interact to cause subsidence, heave and settlement, yet conventional monitoring can leave gaps in understanding what is happening beneath the surface.
Target investigation where it matters most
Geofem helps identify areas of changing ground behaviour across large sites and portfolios, enabling engineers to prioritise investigations and focus resources where they are needed most.
“We can’t investigate everything at once.”
For large developments, dense urban areas and extensive building portfolios, resources for detailed ground investigation are limited. Engineers need to know where closer inspection is most likely to reveal emerging issues.
Benefit from expert insight, not just data
Our geotechnical engineers analyse and validate satellite data to turn complex signals into clear, reliable intelligence, identifying and ranking areas of concern. This gives you the confidence to act early, prioritise effectively, and focus resources where intervention is most needed.
“Satellite data can be hard to interpret"
Data on its own, without engineering interpretation, can often be difficult to translate into clear, actionable decisions.
Add complementary intelligence without disruption
We integrate seamlessly into your existing workflows, enhancing your current monitoring with an additional layer of geospatial intelligence that improves visibility, validates findings, and strengthens decision-making.
"We want a solution we can integrate"
Relying on new data alone without context from existing monitoring systems is limiting.
Reveal how ground conditions have changed over time
Geofem provides access to more than 10 years of historical satellite data, helping engineers uncover movement trends, identify slow-developing risks and place current ground behaviour in context — supporting better-informed decisions on existing assets, maintenance and intervention.
“What’s happening beneath old existing assets?”
For ageing buildings and structures, historical ground behaviour can be difficult to reconstruct. Without a clear understanding of how conditions have changed over time, emerging issues can be hard to distinguish from long-term movement.
