Atlas InSAR is Sixense’s advanced satellite‑based Radar Interferometry solution designed to measure ground deformation and structural movement with exceptional millimetric precision. By analysing sequences of radar images captured from orbit, Atlas InSAR generates millions of measurement points across any area of interest, providing a level of spatial coverage unmatched by traditional monitoring systems.
This technology supports every stage of a project’s lifecycle — from early design studies and risk assessments to construction supervision and long‑term asset operation. Satellite monitoring enables teams to observe how large territories behave over time, offering a broad overview of land‑movement patterns while also delivering high‑resolution insights on individual structures such as bridges, buildings, slopes or retaining systems.
One of the core advantages of Atlas InSAR is that it operates entirely remotely. There is no need for site access, physical sensors or installation works, making it an efficient and non‑intrusive option for monitoring difficult‑to‑reach, hazardous or highly constrained locations. It also serves as a cost‑effective complement to ground‑based instrumentation networks, supporting smarter allocation of on‑site monitoring resources.
As natural and man‑made sources of ground motion become increasingly significant — including settlement, landslides, tunnelling, groundwater variations and climate‑driven effects — Atlas InSAR plays a growing role in identifying risks early and guiding informed decision‑making for safer, more resilient projects.
