Remember the grumpy neighbor who always yelled, "Get off my lawn!"? While his method might have been crude, his intention to protect his property was valid. For utility companies and infrastructure managers, the stakes are much higher than a trampled flower bed. Encroachments on rights-of-way and critical assets can lead to safety hazards, operational disruptions, and millions of dollars in damages. But how do you keep watch over vast networks of pipelines, transmission lines, buried gas line rights-of-way, and other infrastructure?

Third-party damage to infrastructure is a billion-dollar problem in the US alone. From illegal construction to agricultural activities encroaching on utility corridors, the threats are diverse and often difficult to detect. Traditional monitoring methods, such as periodic field inspections, are time-consuming and often fail to catch issues before they escalate.

Satelytics developed a solution that's like having a vigilant guardian watching over every inch of your assets from space. Our advanced geospatial analytics platform uses high-resolution satellite imagery and machine learning algorithms to detect and alert you to encroachments and changes in your rights-of-way. Our Constant Vigilance™ suite of algorithms processes terabytes of satellite data, analyzing every pixel, every time. Here's what sets our approach apart:

• Comprehensive Coverage: We monitor vast areas quickly and efficiently, with the ability to revisit sites multiple times per week.
• Rapid Response: Alerts are generated within hours of satellite overpass, allowing for swift action.
• Diverse Detection Capabilities: From vehicles and digging to illegal construction and tree encroachment, we identify a wide range of potential threats.

Case Study

One of the largest utilities in the U.S. partnered with Satelytics to monitor corridor encroachments across their three-state service territory. The results were eye-opening:

• Early Detection: Satelytics identified construction in its early stages, allowing for timely intervention.
• Precision: AI-generated alerts flagged only encroachments that posed genuine safety or operational risks.
• Efficiency: The utility reduced the number of field visits required, saving time and resources.

Why Settle for Periodic Patrols?

Traditional monitoring methods are like checking your property once a month and hoping nothing happens in between. With Satelytics, you get:

• Frequent Monitoring: Keep an eye on your assets, on a cadence you dictate, up to daily.
• Proactive Risk Management: Address potential issues before they become costly problems.
• Resource Optimization: Direct your field teams to verified threats, eliminating unnecessary site visits.

In today's complex infrastructure landscape, you can't afford to miss encroachments or changes that could impact your operations. Satelytics offers the digital equivalent of a tireless, all-seeing guardian for your assets.
