World Tunnel Congress 2022

 

TRE Altamira is at the World Tunnel Congress 2022
to present InSAR for Tunneling Operations

Tunneling and civil engineering groundwork activities are constantly increasing due to urban development. Ground excavation activities, especially in highly urbanized areas, can lead to potential geohazards due to ground settlement associated with tunneling activities.
InSAR data is crucial to help assist in determining the extent and origin of ground instability, as well as monitor the surface-level impact of groundwork along the alignment and in the surrounding areas.
Satellite data provides useful information on 1) ground settlement trends prior to operations; 2) surface movement during tunneling operations - to assess the correlation between tunneling and surface displacement; and 3) post-excavation stability - to detect possible residual subsidence that might impact infrastructure.

Spatially dense and precise results

spatially dense and precise resultsThanks to its millimetric precision and high density of measurement points, InSAR is also used to complement and calibrate real-time in-situ surveillance such as levelling, inclinometers, etc.

Non-invasive and scalable technique

non-invasive scalabilityCompletely remote, satellite InSAR is unrivaled in its ability to obtain displacement measurements over large or small areas.

Cost-effective

cost effectiveInSAR is the only ground monitoring technique providing highly dense measurements at a fraction of the cost of other survey techniques.

Historical data

historical dataSatellite data archives extend back to 1992 and can be processed to assess historical settlement trends.
