Progress monitoring
Progress updates with aerial drone is a perfect tool for staying on schedule and keep the project from going over budget. Drone footage can be shared with project managers, stakeholders and investors to see the progress of a project as well. New updated can be taken monthly, weekly, or daily depending on the project.
stockpile measurements
Using drones for stockpile measurements can significantly save time, improve safety, and cut costs. Measurements such as volume, density, and tonnage can be precisely calculated using drone mapping software. This information can be used for up-to-date inventory counts and to keep worksites stocked with enough materials. Assessing stockpiles more frequently can reduce overestimated material and supply orders, cutting back on waste and unnecessary spending.
Inspection
During construction, periodic inspections are mandatory to assure overall project status, safety, and accuracy. Some inspections can be hazardous to workers or become inefficient, resulting in lost time and money. Using drones for these jobs will greatly improve speed and assurance between workers. With the ability to take pictures and video, multiple employees will be able to view the status and easily converse about possible issues.
Mapping
Drones can use the visual data they collect to produce multiple types of maps including 3D, orthomosaic, and thermal. Each of these aerial maps have many benefits from pre-planning, monitoring progress, understanding a site’s layout, and more.
