Partner story

GReD, founded in 2012, leverages Politecnico di Milano's academic strengths in geodesy and geomatics to drive innovation. With expertise in high-precision satellite-based displacement monitoring, gravity & magnetic field modeling, and atmospheric sensing, GReD helps clients tackle complex challenges such as infrastructure safety, subsidence, and landslide monitoring. 

 

By providing continuous, automated monitoring solutions, GReD aims to enhance operational efficiency and early warning capabilities across various sectors, including power, transportation, defense, and agriculture.

 

GReD's core expertise spans three primary domains, promoting continuous monitoring of geohazards and sustainable Earth exploration:

  • Geodesy - satellite data location insights: High-precision monitoring of structures and ground displacement using GNSS technology, delivering millimeter-level accuracy for critical infrastructure safety.
  • Geophysics - data subsurface insights: Advanced gravity & magnetic field modeling and inversion for natural resource exploration, subsurface analysis, and archaeological investigations.
  • Geosciences - satellite data environmental insights: Atmospheric sensing, meteorological monitoring, and hydrogeological data analysis for environmental protection and climate monitoring.

With a presence across Europe, Asia, and North America, GReD combines advanced technology with tailored services to meet the unique needs of its clients, backed by extensive research and a track record of successful projects.
