Reality capture and the use of drones in construction
Good article from Autodesk BIM 360 on what is reality capture, why it matters and the types of technologies that can be used. Reality capture refers to the process of scanning an object, building, or site in the real world and converting the scan data into models and visualizations that are useful for design and construction workflows. Today’s reality capture technology (including drones) can quickly and cost-effectively create textured, high-resolution, geometrically precise

How drones can be used on construction and infrastructure projects
We all know that you can capture great marketing pictures and videos of an asset or construction/infrastructure project but if this is the only way you’re using drone technology then its not being used it to its full potential. Here’s how the digital information can be used: 1. Management oversight: real time overviews of projects with regularly updated 2D/3D maps and models. 2. Site progress: track progress with 2D/3D maps, models and aerial views. Carry out comparisons over

How digital information from drones can be used in disputes and health & safety within the const
Good article on how the digital information from drones can be used in disputes and health & safety within the construction industry. Dispute resolution: Disputes relating to work progression, extensions of time and delay are common on construction projects. Sourcing an accurate record of activities carried out and progress of the works after the event is a common problem, but also often the key to unlocking such disputes. The use of digital information from drones throughout
