This unprecedented satellite surveillance will cover 35 years, when historical studies are included.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This project is vital to the future of the Ile-de-France region.

We therefore chose two complementary solutions. A real-time solution with a system using ground instruments to monitor any movements of buildings along the track of each tunnelling machine and a satellite-based solution, which will cover a larger perimeter, to be provided by ALTAMIRA INFORMATION. This second mode of surveillance enables us to monitor from space, the slightest movement of the ground over a zone of 1000 m centered on the tunneling route, down to the nearest millimetre. We felt that these two complementary systems, in situ and from space, would be the most effective solution for keeping the project under close surveillance.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"line-height: 1em;\"><em>For the space-based part, which is a considerable innovation in worksite surveillance, we have chosen ALTAMIRA INFORMATION, a leading company in this highly specialised area, which has been very attentive to our needs and which offered the best technical solution&#8221;, <\/em>explains Vincente Fluteaux, Infrastructures Engineer with the Soci\u00e9t\u00e9 du Grand Paris.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span id=\"polymod-2-871\" class=\"polymod\"> <a title=\"'r871_9_cp-grand-paris-surveilles-satellite_en.pdf' (pdf - 0.28Mb)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cls.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/presse\/r871_9_grand-paris-and-satellites-en.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Read the press release<\/a> <!--{elements:YToxOntzOjY6Im1vZHVsZSI7YToxOntpOjA7czo2OiJwbWVkaWEiO319}--><!--Read the press release--><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\n\tWork on the Grand Paris Express under close surveillance by satellite<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":238773,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[92],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-233538","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-energies-and-infrastructures"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.cls.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/233538","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.cls.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.cls.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cls.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cls.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=233538"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/www.cls.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/233538\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":239564,"href":"https:\/\/www.cls.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/233538\/revisions\/239564"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cls.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/238773"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.cls.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=233538"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cls.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=233538"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cls.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=233538"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
