Early warning
Predictive monitoring of hazardous geological processes
ASGM
Automated System for geotechnical monitoring
of early warning of geological hazards
ASGM is a new-generation geotechnical monitoring system based on a unique geophysical technology.
The technology, which has proven its effectiveness at Gazprom PJSC facilities, is now available to other market participants.
ASGM
A network of geophysical observation points for the timely identification of potential geological risks and the provision of advance information.
The technology takes the «SUDDENLY» out of geological events.
Proactive risk management:
- Landslide slope stability control. Operational monitoring and forecasting.
- Seismic hazard assessment for a controlled object. Specifically: recording earthquake precursors (the PREPARATORY phase) and short-term forecasting (1–2 months in advance).
- Monitoring and forecasting of geodynamic hazards during field development.
Important: this is not mathematical probability modeling — it is the real-time registration of actual changes in the stress-strain state of rocks BEFORE hazardous processes manifest on the surface!
Other systems record subsidence, displacement of soils and state the fact — but the statement does not ensure safety!
An earthquake is a trigger for landslide hazard!
Patents & Certifications
Trusted Ever Since
Our technology isn’t theory. It’s real-world performance, day in, day out. And the numbers speak louder than words:
- 20+ years of hands-on, practical deployment — protecting critical assets since 2006.
- Zero. That’s right — zero catastrophic events at any site protected by the ASGM system. Ever.
- 30+ years of rigorous laboratory and field research powering every decision we make.
- Engineered for endurance: ASGM geophysical stations (multi-channel geophysics data recorder) operate CONTINUOUSLY for over 5 years without fail.
- Patented & proprietary. An original breakthrough developed by a dedicated team of Russian scientists. This is innovation you won’t find anywhere else.
High-tech geophysical monitoring of a new generation
ASGM relies on an original method for registering the parameters of the Earth’s natural pulsed electromagnetic field (ENPEMF). In contrast to conventional static and dynamic geomonitoring systems, which merely record displacements and deformations that have already occurred, ASGM enables early detection of emerging hazards inside the rock mass. Key Capabilities:
- 24/7 live monitoring. The system detects the earliest changes in the stressed-deformed state of the rock (SSS) — changes that aren’t yet visible on the surface!
- Short-term forecasting. Predict the activation of hazardous geological events well in advance: from several days to 1–2 months BEFORE the event, with further AI-based learning capabilities.
ASGM — Protecting Your Company's Infrastructure
Our Advantages:
- Proactive protection. Don’t react to consequences — anticipate the threat. Gain critically vital time to halt operations, safeguard assets, and evacuate personnel. With ASGM, you’re never caught off guard.
- Scientifically proven accuracy. Advanced algorithms continuously analyze hourly streams of ENPEMF parameter data. Every alert is backed by decades of research, not guesswork.
- Real-time & fully automated. 24/7 operation without human intervention. Automated notifications ensure critical information reaches decision-makers instantly — anytime, anywhere.
- Reduced operational risk. Seamless integration into your operational processes enables precise, timely response to potential landslide threats before they escalate.
- Competitive edge. Companies that prioritize safety earn trust. With ASGM, you’re recognized as an industry leader in safety, responsibility, and forward-thinking risk management.
- ESG criteria. Fully supports your sustainability goals: Environmental protection, Social responsibility (personnel safety), and Governance (proactive risk management). ASGM is ESG in action.
Where ASGM Is Deployed
Predictive monitoring at your facility means:
- Safety. The risk of «SUDDENLY» emergencies is reduced by 80–90%.
- Confidence in stability. Sleep soundly knowing your infrastructure is under constant, intelligent watch.
- Investment appeal. Protected infrastructure means uninterrupted operations and sustainable growth in supply — a clear signal to investors that your assets are secure. Because the best emergency is the one that never happens.
Application Areas:
- Oil & Gas Complexes. Identify risks before they escalate into technogenic accidents and costly downtime. Halt critical processes, restrict personnel access, and minimize the risk of pipeline depressurization — all before the hazard manifests.
- Mineral Deposits & Mining. Predict zones of hazardous exogenous deformation, ground subsidence and displacement, landslides, karst phenomena, and the potential onset of induced (technogenic) seismicity triggered by remote earthquake sources (M≥4) and man-made loads. Stay ahead of the ground you’re working on.
- Transportation Infrastructure. Railways, highways, bridges, tunnels. Early warning means minimized downtime, reduced track and roadbed repair costs, and uninterrupted logistics. Protect the arteries that keep your business moving. From pipelines to railways, from mines to mountains — ASGM watches over what matters most.
- Hydraulic Structures. Monitor the stability of dams, dikes, and reservoir basins. Prevent catastrophic breaches before they become unthinkable. When water is the force you’re managing, ASGM is your first line of defense.
- Urban Development & Architectural Heritage. Predict deformations before cracks ever appear. Enable preventive structural reinforcement in dense urban environments. Protect not just buildings — protect history, communities, and irreplaceable cultural legacy.
- Tourism & Resort Complexes. Control landslide slope stability beneath ski runs, cable cars, roads, and hotels. Guest safety is non-negotiable. Neither is your resort’s reputation. ASGM ensures both remain intact.
Business Value 
Why Implementing ASGM Pays Off
ASGM isn’t just a monitoring system — it’s a guarantee that your assets are under the vigilant, intelligent protection of next-generation technology. And that translates directly into bottom-line value.
- Timely warning. The power to act before it’s too late. Take preventive measures, avert emergencies at critical infrastructure, and keep operations running smoothly. Because downtime costs more than prevention ever will.
- Damage minimized. When an event becomes inevitable, early warning changes everything. Drastically reduce consequences — saving lives, protecting equipment, and preserving the environment. Every hour of advance notice is an hour you can use.
- Insurance advantage. Lower your insurance risk profile with ASGM in place. Proactive risk mitigation means stronger negotiating power, reduced premiums, and enhanced coverage terms. Let your safety system pay for itself.
Turnkey ASGM system deployment process
Key implementation stages:
- The analyze of earlier performed engineering works, archive materials and published materials. Pre-aquisition deciphering.
- Areal Survey & Monitoring. Identification of optimal installation points for ASGM observation stations across your site. Strategic placement ensures maximum coverage and early detection capability.
- Equipment Delivery. Supply of geophysical recorders — rugged, field-proven, and built for continuous operation in the harshest environments.
- Supervised Installation. Preparation for the arrangement of ASGM system (geophysical stations (multi-channel geophysics data recorder), vandal-proof bunkers) with the arrangement of power supply channels (accumulators, solar panels or a cable for onsite power supply.
- Software Deployment. Configuration of real-time monitoring software tailored to your facility. Watch your asset’s health live, 24/7, from any connected device. To maintain the confidentiality of the database, the server can be hosted on the customer’s premises.
- Commissioning & Training. Full system functionality verification and comprehensive personnel training. Your team won’t just have a system — they’ll know how to use it with confidence.
And yes — this technology can also be deployed offshore, on the seabed. From land to shelf, ASGM has you covered.
