Water Infrastructure Management Service Focusing on Remote Assets

The Water industry within the UK faces a number of challenges due to the scale and remoteness of its assets. These distributed assets require increasingly intuitive methods for ongoing monitoring due to budget reductions and increasingly volatile weather caused by climate change. Earth observation techniques have shown themselves to provide solutions to some of those challenges particularly in flood mapping and terrain deformation measurement. GNSS technologies have also shown themselves to provide great value in measuring the movement of earthworks and structures over time to give engineers a greater understanding of their assets’ health.
