Drones provide more accurate and regular reports, spot problems quickly, ensure safety on-site, and improve operational efficiency. Large stretches of land can be scanned using drones, and visual data can be converted into 3D maps. This can then be used to plan the use of land for construction activities. Drones can be used to inspect onsite stockpiles and aggregates, fencing, and other safety conditions while ensuring crew members’ safety.
SURVEILLANCE
Construction companies popularly use drones for site surveillance and inspection. It’s incredibly tasking for people to survey large stretches of land under construction manually. Drones equipped with sensors like RGB, LiDAR, thermal, or multispectral can accurately survey and monitor the site. The visual data provided by the drones can also be used to create models with photogrammetry. Moreover, drones offer surveillance in areas that are difficult and dangerous to reach.
SITE MONITORING
UAVs are cost-effective solutions for monitoring construction sites. They can monitor the progress of the projects, from preparation to completion. Drones enhance the performance, efficiency, velocity, and accuracy of information. They provide high-resolution photographs and videos to the construction management team. As a result, all aspects of the construction process can be reviewed on-demand, and appropriate decisions can be taken on the spot. With accurate and detailed imagery, the site can be monitored to manage quality control and materials.
DATA COLLECTION
For construction businesses, drones serve as an important tool for data collection. They enable the site engineers to gather large volumes of data accurately and efficiently. Data is often required from dangerous and high-risk environments. In such cases, drones eliminate the need for people to enter such areas. The light weight and small size of drones allow them access to inaccessible areas. This enables them to capture information and images from a diverse range of spaces.
