GroundPulse turns NASA and ESA satellite data into ground-movement intelligence for the assets you actually own — bridges, pipelines, and roadway corridors today, more modules as the work calls for them.
Government & academic users: displacement monitoring for up to 500 bridges or 100 corridor miles.
Get Started
Inclinometers, tiltmeters, and GPS stations cost $10K-$100K+ per point. You can only instrument known risk locations.
NASA's OPERA DISP products deliver analysis-ready displacement maps covering your entire asset footprint.
Traditional providers charge $100K+ per project, take weeks, and require radar science expertise.
We process satellite data, join it to your assets, calculate risk scores, and deliver alerts. No remote sensing expertise needed.
Network-wide displacement screening with NBI asset context, screening exports, and IIJA-aligned reporting. Built and exercised against the Montana state inventory.
PHMSA-aligned geohazard screening across right-of-way corridors. Segment-level ranking, displacement history, quality scoring, and pipeline-specific risk rules.
Corridor and district-level displacement monitoring for highway and roadway networks. Geohazard classification, cut/fill context, and district dashboards.
Asset model, ingest, and displacement endpoints in place; productized UX and reference artifact in scoping. Targeted at high-hazard private dams and small hydro under FERC.
Transmission & distribution, ports, and rail embankments are candidate modules. Sequence is set by buyer signal, not a roadmap.
Directors of integrity management at interstate gas, oil, and NGL operators with PHMSA-regulated mileage and right-of-way exposure. The pipeline module is exercised against real corridors today; we're open to controlled-pilot conversations.
Dam safety officers and FERC-compliance leads at industrial dam owners and independent hydro operators. Module scoping starts when the first qualified conversation lands.
T&D engineering directors and asset reliability managers at investor-owned utilities and large public power authorities. Transmission is a candidate module; sequence depends on buyer signal.
State DOTs and county engineers aren't the lead audience here, but the bridge and roadway modules are built and available. Inbound from a transportation agency gets the same treatment as any other qualified buyer.
Sentinel-1 and OPERA DISP image your corridors every 6–12 days. NISAR launched in July 2025 and released a first-look L-band sample in February 2026; we integrate the validated production stream when it opens publicly. Every revisit yields millimeter-scale displacement across your full asset footprint — not just instrumented points.
We join the displacement stack to your assets — bridge structures, pipeline segments, roadway corridors, dam crests — and run the module-specific risk rules. Thermal and seasonal noise removed, confidence scored, lineage tracked.
Alerts when something moves, history when you need to defend a decision, exports your engineers and inspectors actually use. PHMSA, IIJA, and ASME workflows supported out of the box.

We're builders. We ship the analytical systems and data products that the people who use them actually use — open-source where it makes sense, designed with intention, and verified against the kind of scrutiny a peer reviewer would expect. GroundPulse is one of those systems. The work shows.
49 CFR Part 192 requires gas pipeline operators to evaluate geohazards that can threaten integrity. Corridor-scale displacement monitoring gives integrity teams direct evidence of earth movement, subsidence, and landslide creep across the right-of-way.
PHMSA's July 2025 direct final rule on remote sensing for right-of-way patrols was withdrawn in October 2025 for re-proposal after adverse comment. That keeps the requirement unsettled, but it still signals where accepted monitoring practice is heading.
Bridge Formula Program dollars expire in FY2026. Displacement evidence strengthens bridge prioritization and competitive Bridge Investment Program narratives by documenting active movement instead of relying on condition ratings alone.
Deckers Creek Bridge, WV — per-structure velocity, confidence, risk tier. Demonstrates the same screening that runs against the Montana state bridge inventory (~5,000 NBI-aligned structures, RFP submission).
A 9.8-mile natural gas trunk crossing Galveston Bay. Subsidence detected at the subsea midcrossing (-22.4 mm/yr peak, coherence 0.74). 1 Warning + 2 Watch segments. 49 CFR 192.917 / ASME B31.8S framing.
An 8.2-mile NGL pipeline along US-119 in Preston County, WV. Two Critical landslide alerts at MP 3.2 (-42 mm/yr) and MP 5.7 (-35 mm/yr). Acceleration contribution 0.22. Supports API RP 1187 Level 1.
Same ingest. Same scoring. Same evidence. Three different asset types, three different geographies, one platform underneath.
