Natural hazard monitoring solutions for safer, more resilient territories and infrastructure

Satellite InSAR/DInSAR, PhotoMonitoring™ and ground-based systems for critical infrastructure and slope stability.

NHAZCA develops advanced solutions to monitor natural hazards and infrastructure performance, turning geological and geotechnical data into decision-ready information to support prevention, maintenance and emergency response.

Technology solutions for the safety, security, resilience and sustainability of infrastructure

Seeing the world from a different perspective

NHAZCA develops end-to-end monitoring solutions for natural hazards and critical infrastructure, combining advanced research with operational delivery. We integrate satellite InSAR/DInSAR, PhotoMonitoring™ and ground-based instrumentation to track ground motion, slope instability and structural behaviour with reliable, repeatable outputs.

Every day we transform geological and geotechnical data into actionable information for prevention, early detection and risk management. Our approach is built around a single, globally scalable workflow: consistent acquisition, automated processing, clear interpretation and decision-ready reporting. This is made possible by a multidisciplinary team and field experience gained across land protection and infrastructure monitoring projects since 2009.

Our natural hazard monitoring solutions and technologies

PhotoMonitoring™ and SGAM are proprietary NHAZCA technologies, developed in-house and delivered exclusively by our team.

We integrate them with satellite and ground-based monitoring to build end-to-end workflows for natural hazards and critical infrastructure.

PhotoMonitoring™ for landslide monitoring

PhotoMonitoring™

PhotoMonitoring™ is NHAZCA’s image-based monitoring technology designed to track displacement and deformation on slopes, rock faces and unstable areas. The setup is intentionally simple, often requiring nothing more than a properly installed camera, which makes deployment fast, cost-effective and practical even in challenging field conditions.

It is versatile by design: PhotoMonitoring™ can support rapid change detection to identify emerging instability, and it can also provide long-term observation to quantify trends over weeks, months or seasons. By converting image sequences into measurable motion indicators, it helps teams understand how a phenomenon evolves and when intervention may be required.

 

Ideal for landslide monitoring, rockfall-prone cliffs, earthworks and construction sites where timely, interpretable outputs are essential.

 

  • Fast setup (camera-based) with minimal site disruption

  • Works for both early change detection and long-term monitoring

  • Clear displacement trends for decision-making and reporting

SGAM: geotechnical and structural monitoring of a road section

SGAM

SGAM is NHAZCA’s integrated ground-based monitoring system for infrastructure and critical assets. It combines geotechnical and structural measurements, bringing together different sensor types into a single operational framework to track behaviour, detect anomalies and support maintenance planning.

Powered by AI, SGAM builds its analyses by integrating satellite data, global and regional geohazard databases, field survey information and on-site structural and geotechnical/geomorphological monitoring systems. This data-fusion approach enables consistent, comparable outputs across different sites and scenarios, turning heterogeneous measurements into clear indicators, thresholds and decision-ready reporting.

It is commonly applied to roads, railways, bridges, tunnels, retaining structures and slope stabilization works where safety and continuity of service are essential.

 

  • AI-assisted integration of satellite, field and sensor data

  • Unified workflow for analysis, thresholds and reporting

  • Designed for critical assets and complex geohazard contexts
