Web application to monitor river migration near bridges
Implementing Partner: Build Change
Project name: Web application to monitor river migration near bridges in the UK
This project developed a web-based application leveraging Google Earth and cloud computing to enhance hazard monitoring for critical bridge infrastructure in the Philippines.
By automating river migration tracking—essential for high-risk areas—it overcomes the limitations of manual satellite image analysis, which is slow and lacks broad coverage.
This innovative approach enables faster, more precise assessments across multiple sites, improving infrastructure resilience and supporting proactive mitigation strategies for long-term bridge safety.

Impact
1
The project utilized satellite imagery to track river shifts at Gamu, Itawes, and Don Mariano Marcos bridges, analyzing long-term course changes. This approach identifies potential infrastructure risks, enabling proactive measures to enhance bridge safety and resilience.
2
Landsat and Sentinel satellite imagery was employed to monitor river migration, offering detailed temporal data essential for analyzing dynamic river behavior. These insights enhance bridge stability assessments, enabling proactive measures to reduce infrastructure risks in shifting waterways.
3
InfraRivChange emerged as an efficient and cost-effective remote sensing tool for tracking river shifts, enabling timely risk assessments. It enhances informed decision-making for managing vulnerable bridge infrastructure, ensuring proactive measures to reduce potential hazards and structural threats.
