Detection of Unauthorized Construction Activities
We provide local authorities with a remote monitoring service utilizing satellite data to detect unauthorized constructions and building subsidence.
Understanding the movement of buildings with millimeter precision.
We help understand which buildings are moving in order to:
• monitor the potential impact of construction activities on neighboring buildings
• identify structures necessitating closer inspection to avert potential disasters
• to understand which levelling benchmarks should be measured over.

Satellite-Based Detection of Unauthorized Construction Activities
Satellite surveillance is employed for the regular monitoring of construction activities, specifically targeting illegal constructions. This approach utilizes radar satellites, chosen for their ability to operate unaffected by cloud cover, ensuring uninterrupted detection capabilities.
Weekly flyovers:
- The satellite conducts weekly flyovers, capturing data on construction activities. The use of radar satellites becomes crucial in areas where cloud cover might impede the monitoring process. The acquired data is efficiently processed within a span of a few days and promptly transmitted to local authorities.
Cost-Effective Solution:
-This method presents a financially viable solution to address unauthorized construction. By making residents aware of the satellite-based supervision in their municipality, it acts as a deterrent against buildings without the requisite permits. The knowledge that unauthorized activities can be swiftly detected serves as a powerful motivator for compliance.
Preventive Effect:
The system relies on freely accessible satellite data to identify ongoing construction activities, making this service accessible to all municipalities. This proactive approach aids in preventing the unauthorized construction of houses. By averting such activities in advance, municipalities can save valuable resources that would otherwise be expended in legal disputes and subsequent enforcement actions.
