Resilient Infrastructure
Minimize risks
Critical infrastructure—including transport networks, energy systems, and industrial sites —faces increased risks from thermal stress, material degradation, and extreme weather, leading to higher maintenance costs. Currently, global maintenance expenditures for transport infrastructure alone are substantial; for instance, the International Energy Agency (IEA) estimates that combined operations, maintenance, and infrastructure additions in land transport could cost up to a trillion USD by 2050.
Constellr's thermal intelligence, powered by high-resolution land surface temperature data, offers a proactive solution by identifying vulnerabilities such as heat-induced material fatigue, pipeline leaks, and overheating equipment. Early detection through thermal monitoring reduces damages, prevents costly failures, and optimizes maintenance by targeting high-risk areas, thereby extending asset lifespans and minimizing unscheduled downtime. Integrating thermal intelligence into infrastructure management enhances resilience, lowers maintenance costs, and enables adaptation to the escalating impacts of climate change.

Transport Infrastructure
Temperature extremes can severely affect road conditions, leading to cracks, ice, and increased wear and tear. Our thermal intelligence helps monitor surface temperatures across road networks, enabling timely interventions for maintenance and repair. Instead of road-level sensors, which are expensive to implement and only offer coverage of specific areas, constellr’s thermal intelligence can monitor large regions simultaneously, ideal for tracking temperature trends across entire cities or highway networks.
Whether it's detecting freeze-thaw cycles in winter or identifying heat-induced tarmac damage in summer, municipalities and maintenance companies get the insights needed to reduce road deterioration and ensure safer travel, extending the lifespan of the transport infrastructure and reducing costly emergency repairs.
Energy Infrastructure
From power grids to coal plants, energy infrastructure is vulnerable to the impact of temperature changes. Land Surface Temperature data provides critical insights for monitoring and maintaining energy infrastructure by enabling the detection of thermal anomalies, assessing environmental impacts, and enhancing operational efficiency.
This reduces the risk of outages and harm. For power plants, LST helps monitor cooling performance, detect heat leaks, and optimize energy output, especially under rising ambient temperatures. For pipelines, temperature irregularities can be detected, signaling leaks early and thus improving safety and reliability.

Industrial sites economic monitoring
By continuously monitoring thermal emissions from industrial sites, we can detect operational inefficiencies, malfunctions and productivity patterns. Our thermal intelligence helps site operators identify and monitor temperature-induced vulnerabilities, offering predictive insights that allow you to act before damage occurs.
By tracking temperature shifts that affect structural integrity, we provide a comprehensive view of potential risks— from material degradation to malfunctioning systems - that allow to prioritize repairs and optimize maintenance schedules.
Additionally, financial institutions use constellr's thermal intelligence for monitoring the activity of industrial sites to derive productivity information.
