| Abstract | "This project brings forward 3 of 12 asset monitoring use cases studiedduring the Discovery phase, which at maturity would collectively deliver anestimated 22 million GBP (NPV over 10 years) value to Networks and customersthrough a combination of cost savings by replacing manual ground and aerialmonitoring, and cost avoidance through increased risk awareness. A switch awayfrom manual monitoring will also lower emissions associated with Operation &Maintenance activities. This is closely aligned with the Data and Digitalisationchallenges aims to improve asset visibility and increase monitoring, efficiency,reliability, security, and resiliency of networks. The project will investigate the development of aremote, automated nationwide land and asset motion solution based on the use ofSAR satellite imagery and different InSAR analysis techniques. The project willinvestigate how the accuracy and concentration of land and asset motion datapoints can be improved and integrated into NGETs asset monitoring systems. Theproject will also investigate the development of a remote, automated, nationwidenetwork monitoring solution based on the use of sub meter resolution opticalimagery. The solution will look at risk and change issues in general andspecifically unauthorized construction and storage of building materials. Theproject will advance understanding of the defects/changes experienced by thenetwork, their size, frequency, and risk priority and test EO detection likelihood,with a view to integration into NGETs asset monitoring systems." | |
