Early detection of landslides

Award-winning technology with applications for all major infrastructure and distinct applications in the Global South.

A health-check for buried infrastructure

Assessing the health of buried infrastructure using acoustic monitoring to enable targeted and timely interventions.

Acoustic emission monitoring of infrastructure

The infrastructure that supports our way of life is vulnerable to movements in the ground beneath our feet. We’ve developed a novel approach for monitoring the performance and safety of infrastructure by listening to soil as it deforms.

Applied research expertise

Our experts have worked at the forefront of acoustic infrastructure monitoring for over 20 years, partnering government officials, NGOs and the private sector to deliver far-reaching economic and social impact.
