Elvermont
Earth observation intelligence

Satellite evidence of physical change, measured and dated.

Elvermont analyses multispectral satellite imagery to measure how land and built environments change — clearance, extraction, construction, restoration — and turns it into independent, defensible evidence for decisions about large sites.

What we measure from orbit

Physical change you can see, quantify and defend.

Spectral signatures separate vegetation, bare earth, water and engineered surfaces. Comparing like-for-like seasons isolates genuine change from weather, shadow and the farming calendar.

CLR

Clearance & earthworks

Vegetation removal, soil stripping, haul roads and platform construction — mapped and measured in hectares.

EXT

Extraction & restoration

Quarry face advance, new extraction cells, stockpiles and the return of vegetation on restored ground.

BLT

New built footprint

Warehouses, yards, hardstanding and infrastructure appearing on previously open land.

NRG

Energy infrastructure

Ground-mounted solar arrays and associated works, from first disturbance to completed build-out.

H₂O

Water extent

Lagoons, reservoirs and flooded workings — open-water extent tracked through the short-wave infrared.

VEG

Land condition

Vegetation vigour and bare-soil indices over time, separating real change from seasonal variation.

Analyses

Representative analyses

Examples produced by Elvermont from archive imagery to show the method across different site types. They are not client work; locations are described at regional level only.

Technology

A versioned, reproducible processing chain.

Every result passes through the same audited steps — from per-pixel cloud screening to independent catalogue verification and analyst review — and is stored with the exact captures and method version that produced it.

Processing chain: acquisition, cloud and shadow screening, radiometric harmonisation, spectral indices, seasonal composites, change detection, independent verification, analyst QA and report
Validation

Tested blind against official records.

Before offering the method we tested it against an independent UK government register of energy projects, using pre-registered thresholds.
