The Liverpool geospatial firm will partner with the European Space Agency to develop a high-resolution monitoring system.
"Supply interruptions cost utility companies billions of pounds each year, not only in trying to repair and restore supplies but also paying compensation to customers. Construction work is a key cause of disruption and the situation is likely to get worse in the future if planning laws are relaxed. Our systems help them make the most of the available data and take a pro-active approach to identifying and tackling potential hazards. The new system will be the most powerful to date and could help companies to dramatically reduce downtime, regulatory fines and their environmental impact."
