Assess underground moisture conditions for multiple applications
ASTERRA EarthWorks monitors ground infrastructure and surrounding rights-of-way for underground soil moisture. Data is gathered via an orbiting satellite and a highly sensitive radar band that reflects off underground moisture. That is processed with ASTERRA-patented algorithms and presented over time as a series of contours of soil moisture under and around critical infrastructure: earthen dams and levees, roadways, railbeds, mines, and large commercial properties.
Underground soil moisture indicates areas of concern and potential failure so that immediate and long-term problems can be found and addressed before additional damage and safety issues occur. They can be monitored continually for further evaluation.
An EarthWorks subscription gives ground engineers a capability they have never had before: the ability to assess underground soil moisture conditions across vast geographic areas from space, up to 10′ (3 m) below the surface. It pierces asphalt, concrete, treetops, and all light and weather conditions. Frequent monitoring detects changes and trends over time.
EarthWorks users will be able to view the colors and contours representing percentages of soil moisture through an online portal as part of their subscription. Optionally downloadable as sets of GIS (Geographic Information System) files, they can be imported into all major GIS platforms.
The ability to detect and monitor underground soil moisture — instantly and over vast areas — empowers system operators, maintenance and safety managers, and ground engineers with data they have always needed and probably wished for. And with ASTERRA EarthWorks, they now have. With unprecedented infrastructure intelligence, they can now approach essential maintenance and safety decisions with knowledge, efficiency, and confidence.
