Utilis is launching their second satellite-based soil moisture application which will be sold in the United States exclusively through Chicago, Illinois-based SITE. The product, Hydro-Scan™ powered by Utilis, provides soil moisture data derived from satellites and visualized in SITE’s proprietary platform. Using the same base technology patented by Utilis for subsurface potable leak detection and used in over 250 utility networks worldwide, the technology identifies areas with underlying moisture issues to facilitate premature pavement failure diagnosis and remediation.
“As Utilis makes the foray into property assessment activities, we could not have found a more honest and visionary company than SITE with whom to partner. We look forward to what lies ahead for the partnership,” said the CEO of Utilis.
SITE, currently provides site assessments to thousands of commercial customers across the United States, Canada, and Mexico, including some of the largest household brands in the USA and Fortune 500 companies. Partnering with Utilis, the world leader in satellite-based infrastructure assessment, this innovative technology uses L-band synthetic aperture radar (SAR) data taken from a satellite. The technical capabilities of L-band SAR allow it to penetrate and measure soil moisture down to 10 feet below ground.
“We’re thrilled to be launching Hydro-Scan™. Not only does it allow us to provide the most comprehensive property assessments in the world for our clients, but it also gives us a unique competitive advantage over all our competitors,” stated Austin Rabine, CEO of SITE
Utilis and SITE are excited to begin delivering this service to customers this month.
