Change Detection

Identify changes across your network before they become operational issues.

Network Change Intelligence

Understand what has changed across your network

Networks are constantly evolving. Vegetation growth, asset modifications, environmental changes and third-party activity can all affect network conditions between inspections.

Change Detection compares historical and current survey datasets to identify and quantify change across utility corridors, providing utilities with a clear understanding of how network conditions are evolving over time.

From vegetation encroachment and storm-related damage to new construction and corridor activity, NM Group helps organisations identify emerging risks and focus attention where it matters most.

FAQs

Change Detection compares survey datasets collected at different points in time to identify changes across utility corridors and network assets.

Analysis can identify vegetation growth, corridor encroachments, asset modifications, terrain changes and other environmental or infrastructure-related changes.

Yes. NM Group can work with LiDAR datasets provided by other survey vendors, allowing organisations to gain value from existing survey investments while benefiting from advanced change detection analytics.

Yes. Change Detection can identify new construction, earthworks, temporary objects and other external changes within utility corridors, helping organisations understand potential impacts on safety, reliability and compliance.

Supporting informed asset management

Change Detection & Network Awareness

Change Detection provides utilities with objective information about how network conditions have evolved over time.

By identifying meaningful changes across vegetation, infrastructure and corridor environments, organisations can focus resources more effectively and improve understanding of emerging risks.

Detect Vegetation Change

Identify vegetation growth, removal and clearance activities by comparing survey datasets collected at different points in time.
Vegetation and Ground Change Detection

Detect changes in vegetation, terrain and corridor conditions to support monitoring, investigation and asset management activities.
Detect Corridor Activity

Identify new construction, third-party activity and corridor encroachments that may impact network operations.
Support Targeted Investigation

Detect modifications to utility assets and infrastructure using historical and current survey datasets.
