Meeting the Great Infrastructure Challenge

Australia’s vast and often remote infrastructure networks pose significant challenges for monitoring and maintenance. Traditional ground-based inspections are costly, time-consuming, and logistically complex. Satellite remote sensing technology is transforming this landscape by providing efficient, scalable, and continuous monitoring solutions for critical infrastructure, including transport networks, mining operations, and water management systems.

This presentation explores the technical foundations of satellite-based remote monitoring, focusing on key methodologies such as Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) for ground deformation detection, optical and multispectral imagery for environmental assessments, and soil moisture mapping for geotechnical risk management. The integration of these technologies offers unprecedented insights into structural stability, subsidence, and geohazard susceptibility, allowing asset managers to make informed, data-driven decisions.
