Cracks and damage propagate in infrastructure (dams, bridges, mines, tunnels, storage sites), energy systems (geothermal, natural gas, CCS) and geo-structures(landslides, rockfall). Monitoring is essential, but operators must choose between precise-slow or imprecise-fast crack images: false alarms, missed hazards, financial loss and lives at risk. US infrastructure maintenance estimated: USD 9T by 2035. SIMORGH (EPFL spin-off) solves this with a SaaS multi-modal autonomous signal-processing platform analyzing sensor data in near-real time, imaging precisely crack geometry and mechanism - for maintenance, catastrophe prevention and efficiency (more energy, less downtime). Operators deploy more sensors at >50% lower cost. Market ~USD 40B, ~60% margin, accelerated by the energy transition.
