SqueeSAR™ is used to measure displacement occurring across bridges and abutments.

Deformation occurring on bridge structures and supporting abutments can be measured remotely using SqueeSAR™. Displacement can be mapped to millimeter accuracy, identifying movement that could indicate areas of bridge instability.

Stability Monitoring
SqueeSAR™ can detect displacement along the entire length of a bridge, identifying differential movement that may indicate areas of structural weakness. Surface deformation data allows engineers to determine if remedial action should be taken to prevent further structural damage or potential failure.

Remote Monitoring
As radar imagery is acquired remotely, SqueeSAR™ can provide displacement measurements without the need to install surface-based instruments. By identifying targets already present on structures, SqueeSAR™ detects a significantly higher density of ground points than traditional methods, such as extensometers and leveling techniques.
