Satellite Technology Supporting the Resilience of Infrastructure and Territories

Hera Group is currently developing innovative applications to test the use of satellite technology in support of risk management and to enhance the resilience of infrastructure across the territories it serves.

Through its collaboration with Saferplaces, a Rimini-based start-up specialising in the simulation of extreme-event impact scenarios, particularly floods, Hera can assess asset exposure, estimate potential impacts on the territory, and support strategic planning and design.

Through the platform developed by Australian scale-up Neara, Hera can create engineering-grade digital models of electricity networks, supporting a structured and proactive approach to vegetation interference management and weather resilience planning for its overhead network.
