Geospatial AI for urban change detection

With a mandate to protect public safety and prevent economic loss from potential dam failure, and faced with a rise in urban development, the state dam safety officer’s role has never been more important. However, state dam safety programs are challenged by a lack of adequate resources.

Why? Traditional methods of ground survey and inspection are often too resource-intensive to keep up with the rise in urban development across the flood plains of the dams they are responsible for. Added to that, without a visual inspection, there is little certainty of accuracy on dam hazard classifications that dam owners have self-certified.

And potentially risky urban changes that occur between inspections, which can impact hazard classifications, can go unrecorded and unactioned for longer than is ideal.

Rezatec’s Urban Change product combines optical satellite data with advanced analytics to deliver accurate insights on building change across the inundation zones of every dam in your state. Its easy-to-use visualizations highlight exact risk areas, which means you can monitor and report on risk for each dam remotely, at scale and cost-effectively. And you can deploy your inspection resources to the right place at the right time.
