Tailings dam monitoring requires more than periodic inspections—it demands continuous, large-scale visibility of ground. However, traditional monitoring methods often lack the continuity and spatial coverage needed to deliver a complete understanding of ground behaviour. Historical datasets provide a continuous, high-resolution record of deformation, revealing trends that short-term monitoring cannot capture. Using satellite-based radar technology , InSAR (short for Interfer

Discover how advanced satellite-based InSAR technology delivers precise, continuous rail deformation monitoring, enabling early detection of ground movement, reduced risk, and smarter maintenance planning.

Satellite monitoring is transforming how engineers understand and manage ground behaviour and risk. But raw satellite data only becomes truly valuable when interpreted through a geotechnical lens — turning numbers into actionable insights for risk assessment, asset management, and safety.  In the first instalment of our expert Q&A series, Geofem Founder, Dr. Andrew Lees CEng FICE — a geotechnical engineer with extensive experience in both numerical modelling and satellite-ba
