Monitor, Measure & Mitigate: Integrated Solutions for Geohazard Risk

Monitor, Measure & Mitigate: Integrated Solutions for Geohazard Risk

9/8/2025

Geohazards such as slope instability, erosion, settlement, or seepage pose ongoing risks to critical infrastructure. Roads, railways, pipelines, and utility corridors are especially vulnerable to these natural and human-influenced processes, which can evolve silently until sudden failure occurs. Traditional ground surveys provide only periodic... Read More >

Unlock the Power of SAR for Round-the-Clock Monitoring

Nicolai Holzer

In the realm of remote sensing, Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) technology stands out as a game changer. Its ability to see through the darkness of night and adverse weather conditions makes it an invaluable tool for the continuous monitoring of critical assets and infrastructure.

Recently, a nationwide, monitoring system for strategic water management facilities was developed for the Hungarian Disaster Management Service. The objective was to monitor the stability of national hydrological sites in order to identify and mitigate risks before they escalate into disasters. This cutting-edge system harnesses the power of freely available Sentinel-1 data, processed through the latest hardware and sophisticated algorithms of ENVI® SARscape®, ensuring a seamless and continuous monitoring experience.

The integration of SAR technology with traditional ground surveying techniques marks a significant advancement in stability monitoring. This synergy provides a comprehensive view, offering critical insights that were previously unattainable. A cornerstone of the system implemented by the Hungarian Disaster Management Service is the “near real-time” processing and warning capability. This feature is not just about timely alerts. It’s about crafting an effective and efficient risk mitigation strategy that reduces costs and elevates operational safety.
