SentryScan

by THE PONTO GROUP

The Ponto Group is proud to present SentryScan, a cutting-edge risk analysis tool designed specifically for the insurance industry. SentryScan supports risk and disaster prevention efforts by detecting and analyzing underground soil moisture, where it may predict or potentially cause critical infrastructure to fail. As a satellite-based solution, SentryScan can assess up to 40 linear miles and 1,400 square miles (64 km and 3,600 sq km) at once, bringing significantly greater efficiency to maintaining the resilience of infrastructure that protects lives, property, and the environment.

From a 390-mile orbit, SentryScan detects soil moisture using synthetic aperture radar (SAR) to peer up to 10 feet (3m) below the surface. This method avoids the time and cost associated with ground crews, sensors, complex lab procedures, and the destruction of terrain by gathering samples. SentryScan assessments are easily repeated at chosen intervals to show changes over time.

The world’s aging infrastructure is now repeatedly battered by the extreme weather of a changing climate. Today, safe, responsible risk assessment and failure prevention of roads, railways, dams, levees, bridges, tunnels, airports, pipelines, water treatment plants, electrical grids, telecommunications networks, commercial properties, residential developments, mining operations and many more applications require a clear view at all times of underground soil moisture. SentryScan provides that essential visibility, empowering insurance professionals to make informed decisions and enhance risk management strategies.
