Who We Are

Your global partner in ground deformation intelligence.

For more than 20 years, INSAR Corporation has helped organizations worldwide monitor and understand ground movement before it becomes a risk. Our clients rely on us when operational safety, infrastructure stability, and regulatory compliance depend on precise geospatial intelligence.

We integrate satellite InSAR observations with GNSS measurements and tiltmeter monitoring, processed through our proprietary analytics platform. This multi-sensor approach transforms complex geospatial data into clear, actionable insight for mining operations, energy infrastructure, government agencies, and critical assets worldwide.

What is InSAR?

Satellite precision. Advanced data intelligence.

InSAR (Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar) is a satellite-based remote sensing technology capable of detecting ground surface movement with millimetre-level precision across vast areas. By comparing radar images acquired at different times, InSAR reveals subtle deformation that would otherwise go unnoticed.

At INSAR Corporation, we go beyond standard satellite analysis. Our proprietary processing integrates InSAR data with GNSS and tiltmeter measurements, allowing us to resolve both vertical and horizontal ground movement simultaneously. The result is deformation intelligence that is more complete, reliable, and actionable than conventional InSAR processing alone.

We monitor ground deformation associated with mining operations, energy production, groundwater extraction, carbon sequestration, landslides, volcanic activity, and seismic events, providing the clarity needed to protect assets and guide operational decisions.

Our Capabilities

Comprehensive monitoring. Practical insight.

INSAR Corporation provides a full range of ground deformation monitoring services — from long-term regional surveillance to rapid assessments of emerging geohazards.

  • Subsidence monitoring — early detection of ground movement affecting infrastructure, facilities, and operations.
  • Mining & industrial monitoring — open-pit mines, underground operations, and tailings storage facilities monitored to support operational stability.
  • Oil & gas operations — enhanced recovery, underground gas storage, and wastewater injection monitored for safety, environmental protection, and regulatory compliance.
  • Geohazard monitoring — detection of landslides, slope instability, and induced seismicity to protect people and infrastructure.
  • Custom geospatial analytics — tailored multi-sensor monitoring solutions designed for complex or specialized applications.

All deliverables are generated through validated automated workflows, producing high-resolution deformation rate maps and time-series analyses that support confident, data-driven decisions.

Industries We Support

Wherever ground stability matters.

  • Mining — open-pit slope stability, tailings dam integrity, underground subsidence monitoring
  • Oil & Gas — reservoir operations, cavern monitoring, injection impact assessment
  • Infrastructure & Transportation — urban subsidence, transportation corridors, dam safety
  • Government & Environment — geohazard monitoring, regulatory compliance, environmental risk assessment
