USE CASES
Each use case pairs an operational problem with a bounded satellite-measurement response.
ProblemLong corridors and distributed structures make inspection prioritisation difficult.
ResponseHistorical and recurring InSAR reveals relative movement along railways, roads, embankments, bridges and adjacent slopes. Spatial changes guide targeted engineering review. Individual structures require suitable radar visibility, geometry and a movement component detectable in the line of sight.
ProblemReservoirs, plants and networks extend across large and varied ground conditions.
ResponsePortfolio screening identifies settlement or uplift patterns around surface assets and their surrounding terrain. Selected locations can move into recurring review. A buried asset is represented through surface response and complementary records.
ProblemExtraction, storage and industrial activity can produce broad and localised ground response.
ResponseMulti-temporal analysis maps subsidence zones, gradients and temporal development using available satellite archives. Rapidly changing or disturbed surfaces can lose radar coherence and require denser acquisitions or field instrumentation.
ProblemLandslides and subsidence require consistent prioritisation across a region.
ResponseSatellite time series add repeat measurements to inventories and public-territory assessment across wide areas. Vegetation, snow, slope aspect, layover and radar shadow create mapped gaps in observability.
ProblemDense built areas contain many assets with different sensitivity and survey histories.
ResponseStable ground targets and built surfaces provide relative movement patterns for urban screening and selected-structure follow-up. A time series records displacement; structural condition still requires engineering or conservation assessment.
ProblemExposure review and claim investigation may need an independent pre-event and post-event chronology.
ResponseArchived and current radar measurements add spatial ground-motion context for triage, expert review and documented evidence workflows. InSAR alone does not establish causation, liability or claim outcome.
