The construction industry is constantly changing and looking for efficient and accurate ways to improve procedures, processes, and schedules. Over the past decade drones have become an essential part of construction assisting with many avenues of the construction and engineering process. Surveyors are using drones to collect data on projects to keep up with the high demand and tight schedules of a project.
Some of the benefits of a drone survey on construction projects are:
1. Increased Efficiency – surveyors use drone now to collect topographic data. Rather than having a crew collecting this data in the field, which could take days, a drone will drastically reduce the field time.
2. Reduced Expenses – With increased efficiency comes less manhours and equipment on a project.
3. Improved Safety Standards – Construction has always been a dangerous career and having a piece of equipment to keep employees out of harms way or not on a project as much is beneficial for safety and the employee.
4. Improved Data Accuracy – Most drones use a process called photogrammetry to perform the drone survey on a project. This process can collect a large amount of data in a small amount of time and can be accurate.
Other areas of construction that use drone are:
1. Site Analysis – the use of drones to capture historical records of a project are endless. Drones can capture videos or high-definition images.
2. Asset Inventory – drones can be the eye in the sky to help quantify different assets of the project. In a matter of minutes, a drone can capture HD images that can be used to assist in this inventory.
3. Project Reporting and Collaboration – the old saying is a picture is worth 1000 words, drones allow different types of reports that are image based and answer most questions. Also, the different types of software for reporting and collaboration are endless.
