CONSTRUCTION

The construction industry is changing and drones are at the forefront of this evolution. By incorporating drones into the workflow, greater accuracy in site assessments can be achieved, project timelines can be expedited, and worker safety is improved. 

GREATER EFFICIENCY

With the ability to survey a construction project in real time, drones are one of the fastest ways for construction managers to get a bird’s eye view of their job sites. Better management can mean greater efficiency and decreased costs.

LAND SURVEYING

Using drones equipped with advanced sensors and high-resolution cameras, our pilots can quickly collect and transmit data with greater precision. Our in-house staff can then use that data to build a 3-D visualization for determining the correct amount of materials. The original model and plan can be used as a benchmark for future surveys.

COMMUNICATION

A drones can survey a site in a short period of time and capture issues in real time and transmit the data to the office. The construction managers can troubleshoot issues, such as materials that are needed, and quickly deploy the resources to the specific areas on the jobsite. Because of the ongoing data that drones can provide to project management team, potential problems are identified, costs are reduced, and delays are limited.

TRACKING PROGESS

Weekly or daily drone fligthts capture data that is used to create a visual timeline of the project, eliminating the need for frequent time-consuming in-person visits to the site to check on progress. The images and videos are used to create accurate orthomosaic maps for precise measurement of areas, earthwork volumes, and distances. Project managers are able to spot potential problem early so that corrections can be made quickly. A clear record of progress permits better communication with the on-site team, clients, and investors. 

GREATER SAFETY

With aerial video and photography, workflows can be developed to create safety and site logistics plans that identify high-risk areas, such as crane clearances and high traffic areas, and hot spots where the material moves to and from the jobsite. With the continual changes on a jobsite, project teams can use the drone’s detailed images of the changing locations of barricades, riggings, material moves, etc., to prevent potentially hazardous situations.
