Problem
Infrastructure operators and government agencies often lack continuous, high‑resolution monitoring of terrain, leading to delayed detection of geohazards such as landslides, floods, and wildfires. Traditional surveys provide only periodic snapshots, which can miss subtle ground movements that precede catastrophic failure.
Solution
Cascade Geomatics offers a persistent 3D monitoring platform that deploys rugged sensor boxes equipped with LiDAR, high‑resolution RGB, thermal imaging, and environmental sensors. The devices scan 360° up to 300 m around the clock, generating millimetre‑accurate point clouds and multi‑spectral data streams. Proprietary AI and physics‑based models process this data to detect early ground deformation, assess slope stability, and predict geohazard risk. Results are delivered as GIS‑ready risk layers and visualizations through an intuitive web interface, enabling operators to plan maintenance, conduct blast planning, and protect assets before failure occurs.
Target Audience
Primary customers are government agencies responsible for public safety and operators of mines, highways, railways, and other critical infrastructure that require continuous geohazard monitoring in remote or mountainous terrain.
Features
- Easy‑to‑deploy sensor boxes with integrated LiDAR, RGB, thermal, dew‑point, and seismometer sensors
