Ultrasound of the subsoil to identify elements of danger and prevent chasms, landslides or landslides. The watchword is prevention which, thanks to the combination of technology and innovation, becomes crucial for preventing accidents and making risky and busy areas safer.
To make this complex system work, a set of advanced technologies consisting of radar, sensors, geophysical prospecting, “able to analyze the subsoil of road infrastructures and public parks and to discover any cavities up to 3-4 meters below the floor. road”.

Based on these elements and with the aim of identifying criticalities and potentially dangerous situations, the project, implemented in Rome, called Muse (Multi-sensor Services), carried out by Enea in collaboration with Ingv, Consorzio Hypatia, the companies Superlectric, Ylichron, G-Matics.
The activity includes an analysis protocol of urban areas and geomorphological anomalies, through surveys with satellites, drones or aircraft, multifrequency georadar and capacitive geoelectrics.
“Thanks to these technologies we are able to perform a sort of” ultrasound “of the subsoil that allows us to study it with different levels of detail to detect the possible presence of voids of different origin and subsidence of the soil due to the emergence of underground cavities, so-called “collapse chimneys”, precursors of the formation of real chasms on the surface – explain Vittorio Rosato and Stefano Urbini, coordinators for Enea and Ingc of the project activities -. The technologies used, also supported by the analysis of satellite data, range from in-situ instrumental investigations to integrated indirect surveys ».
