uMngeni-uThukela Water DRES
The Disaster Risk Encroachment Solution (DRES) is an end-to-end solution for combating servitude encroachment on uMngeni-uThukela Water infrastructure. Built on Esri ArcGIS, it monitors hundreds of kilometres of high-pressure pipeline servitudes so new structures are found early, before they restrict access, damage pipes or endanger communities.

Chatsworth floods, April 2022
SkySat imagery captured on 28 March and 15 April 2022 shows how the April 2022 KwaZulu-Natal floods changed the Mlazi River in Chatsworth. The river burst its banks and stripped vegetation along the floodplain, beside homes and roads.
Before-and-after imagery like this lets municipalities and utilities assess damage quickly, prioritise inspections and plan recovery, without waiting for ground surveys.
