INDUSTRIES WE SERVE: DAMS & LEVEES

Monitor what matters to strengthen dam resilience

Dam operators face growing pressure to maintain safety and integrity across ageing infrastructure, changing environmental conditions and increasingly complex regulatory requirements.

We bring together the intelligence needed to understand what’s changing, identify emerging risks and make confident decisions about where to act.

See the bigger picture.

Geofem brings together ground movement, soil moisture and geohazard intelligence to support a more comprehensive understanding of dam behaviour, enabling informed monitoring, deformation analysis and regulatory reporting.

“Dam risk is rarely driven by one factor.”

Ground movement, moisture conditions and surrounding geohazards can interact in ways that are difficult to assess through isolated monitoring methods.

See changes as they emerge.

Geofem’s for·see Motion uses advanced satellite technology to monitor dams and their surrounding areas, detecting settlement and displacement with 2–4 mm accuracy and providing a consistent view of ground behaviour to support earlier investigation and more confident decision-making.

“Subtle changes can be difficult to detect through inspections alone.”

Manual inspections provide valuable on-the-ground insight, but small or gradual changes in dam behaviour may be difficult to identify between inspections.

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.

Unlock the value of historical insights

Access over 10 years of historical data to uncover trends, patterns, and slow developing risks, placing today’s movement in full context.

"We need to understand what has happened over the last five years."

Geotechnical failures rarely occur without warning. Ground movement and instability often develop gradually beneath the surface, remaining undetected until they escalate into significant incidents.

Understand what lies beneath the change.

Geofem combines ground movement intelligence with for·see Hydro’s advanced soil moisture analysis, powered by our proprietary soil moisture algorithm, developed in partnership with the European Space Agency (ESA). Together, these insights provide a more complete understanding of changing conditions, helping operators investigate potential risks and make more informed decisions.

"Ground behaviour is only part of the picture."

Monitoring displacement alone doesn't always provide enough context to understand the conditions influencing dam behaviour. Changes in soil moisture and water dynamics can also play a critical role in identifying evolving conditions and potential areas of concern.

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.
