Overview
Radar Interferometry, or Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR), is a high-precision remote sensing technology that detects millimeter-level surface deformations over vast areas. Using satellite-based or ground-based radar, this technique enables real-time monitoring of subsidence, slope movements, and structural shifts, making it a critical tool for geotechnical risk assessment, disaster mitigation, and infrastructure monitoring.
At Encardio Rite, we integrate radar interferometry with geospatial and geotechnical monitoring solutions to enhance early warning systems for infrastructure, mining, and urban development projects. By detecting even the smallest ground displacements, our solutions help prevent catastrophic failures and optimize maintenance strategies.
How Radar Interferometry Works
Radar interferometry captures phase shifts between radar images taken at different times. These shifts indicate ground or structural movement, allowing for highly accurate deformation maps without direct physical contact. This method is ideal for continuous, large-scale monitoring of critical assets, remote regions, and high-risk zones.
Key Benefits & Applications
Radar Interferometry is a cost-effective, scalable, and highly accurate monitoring solution used across multiple industries:
1. Infrastructure & Structural Health Monitoring
- Bridges, Dams & Tunnels – Detects subsidence, foundation settlement, and deformation in real-time.
- Urban Development – Tracks ground shifts in metro tunnels and high-rise buildings to prevent long-term damage.
2. Slope Stability & Landslide Monitoring
- Identifies potential landslide risks and unstable slopes.
- Monitors slow ground movements that may lead to failures.
3. Mining & Tailing Dam Monitoring
- Detects subsidence in open-pit and underground mines.
- Ensures the structural integrity of tailing dams, reducing environmental risks.
4. Geohazard & Disaster Management
- Earthquake & Flood Impact Analysis – Monitors post-event ground shifts.
- Volcano Activity Tracking – Detects magma movement for early warnings.
