An Entire City at Once

Underground infrastructure analysis, scaled to our largest cities

With satellite-based technology able to locate and assess underground moisture over 1,400 sq miles (3,500 sq km) at once, ASTERRA is becoming humanity’s eyes, guiding it through Earth’s changes by applying advanced analytic capabilities to synthetic aperture radar

Patented Synthetic Aperture Radar Technology for Pipeline Assessment, Leak Detection & Infrastructure Assessment

ASTERRA’s unique products provide hard intelligence and analysis to managers and engineers to support data-based decisions on large and massive-scale infrastructure.

MasterPlan

Assesses underground pipe deficiencies so replacement decisions and long-term plans can be made with a full view of the system

Recover

Supports leak detection and analysis for potable and wastewater systems to support fast, efficient remediation with vastly reduced use of ground crews

EarthWorks

Gives property owners, ground engineers, infrastructure maintenance services, and managers accurate underground moisture assessments to spot potential damage and failure locations before serious problems occur

What Distinguishes ASTERRA

Only ASTERRA shows you the moisture itself

Rather than rely on predictive or theoretical analysis, we use our patented algorithms and ground-penetrating synthetic aperture radar (SAR) technology to actually see the moisture accumulating beneath and around infrastructure.

Patented algorithms process and analyze data

ASTERRA algorithms are fine-tuned to analyze the moisture’s characteristics. It will distinguish treated drinking water and wastewater.

No capital spending needed

ASTERRA works without the cost of sensors or grounds crews digging holes.

Data integrates easily

ASTERRA data is easily viewed through all standard GIS- (geographic information system) based platforms, including our official partners, Esri and Innovyze.

Expansive geographic reach

ASTERRA can assess the underground systems in a 1,350-sq-mile area, or 40 miles of straight road or rail in a single pass.

Solutions

ASTERRA has refined its synthetic aperture radar technology and patented algorithms to provide solutions across a number of industries and applications. Clients use ASTERRA solutions to preserve resources, protect the environment, and maintain infrastructure.

Water

Nearly 9 billion gallons of drinking water are lost every day to leaks. ASTERRA’s recover has verified tens of thousands of leaks, reducing that loss by 34,000 million gallons annually and growing. ASTERRA MasterPlan is reducing current and future water loss by assessing the pipes’ condition.

Wastewater

As wastewater pipes age and decay, they seep pollutants and toxins into the underground environment unseen. By using Recover to locate and repair leaks and MasterPlan to assess the system, ASTERRA preserves the environment while deterring fines and consent decrees.

Infrastructure

Underground moisture can undermine roadways, paved surfaces, and infrastructure in general. With visualizations and assessments of soil moisture, ASTERRA EarthWorks allows pipe repairs to be made before more significant damage occurs.
