Open projects, open methods and open templates this community builds on, with the licence of every source carried through.

Reference design, drawn to scale · drag to turn

1. Infrastructure · Open

   Assets that report their own condition

   Structural and ground-movement monitoring for bridges, dams, tunnels and slopes, drone survey and 3D twins for construction, satellite interferometry over whole networks, and deployable kits for the site before the permanent network exists. Needs: displacement and deformation, vibration and strain, ground movement over wide areas, as-built geometry and site connectivity during construction.

2. Open · Sensors & instruments

   Open with Sensors & instruments

   Metadata and quality rules and Open networks on the grid: free to use and build on. The enterprise layer adds sensing as a Service, Calibration programmes and Qualification, delivered under contract by Nexus Observatory Inc. Open methods let anyone check how a product was made.

3. Open · Earth observation & GeoAI

   Open with Earth observation & GeoAI

   Observatories atlas, World grid and Map sources with licences: free to use and build on. The enterprise layer adds capture campaigns and Site twins, delivered under contract by Nexus Observatory Inc. Open methods let anyone check how a product was made.

4. Open · Data & licensing

   Open with Data & licensing

   Open tier and Dataset cards: free to use and build on. The enterprise layer adds paid tiers and Residency by contract, delivered under contract by Nexus Observatory Inc. Open methods let anyone check how a product was made. Service levels are written as numbers you can measure.

5. Open · Field services

   Open with Field services

   Guides, Templates and Lifecycle: free to use and build on. The enterprise layer adds eight services and Government buyers, delivered under contract by Nexus Observatory Inc. Open methods let anyone check how a product was made. Every reading and every change leaves a record that can be checked later.

6. Open · Digital twins and simulation

   Open with Digital twins and simulation

   Simulation methods with worked examples and Open terrain and grid layers: free to use and build on. The enterprise layer adds drone survey and 3D site twins, Network planning studies and Scenario studies, delivered under contract by Nexus Observatory Inc.

7. Trust

   Every node proves what it is

   A node joins only after its hardware root of trust answers an attestation challenge. Keys stay in secure hardware, software arrives signed, and every reading carries a signature, so its origin can be checked by anyone downstream without asking us.

8. Time and place

   Every reading carries when and where

   Readings are stamped against a disciplined clock, from satellite time or a PTP grandmaster, together with the station position and its siting record. When time or position is degraded, the record says so instead of hiding it, and every analyst downstream sees the same warning.

9. How it scales

   One base unit, repeated

   A programme starts with one base node and the instruments it reads. A station adds power and radio, a site adds a relay, a fleet repeats the proven site across many places, and a network federates fleets through edge and core. Capacity grows by adding units, never by replacing what works.

10. Updates

    Updates in rings, with rollback

    Software and configuration reach the fleet in rings: a canary site first, then a few, then all, each ring gated on health and data completeness. A failed gate stops the wave and returns each node to its last good release, without a site visit.

11. Operations

    Every node watched, every incident closed

    The operations console shows every node with its state, its plan and its evidence. Alerts arrive with their data and a runbook; acknowledging one opens a work order, and an incident closes only when the cause is recorded and the fix verified.

12. What you get

    Structural and ground-movement monitoring

    GNSS, InSAR, tilt, strain and fibre sensing on bridges, dams, slopes, tailings and pipelines, with alert thresholds set by the owner. Delivered as managed service and data licence, for infrastructure, mining and pipeline operators, transport agencies. Scale: Asset portfolios. Service levels are written as numbers you can measure on your own dashboard.

    Plan an infrastructure deployment

    Tell us the sites, the measurements and the people who will use them. We reply with a design and a scope for infrastructure. An engineer replies with a survey proposal and a scope, and the plan grows from one site to the network you need, at your pace.
