Drone survey to aid master planning and mitigating against risks
We’re working with one of our clients to provide digital/reality capture information from a drone survey on one of their projects to aid master planning and logistic planning as well as identifying and mitigating against potential program risks. The information gathered can be used by the onsite and offsite teams to understand the topography of the project (survey grade 3D point cloud, digital surface model (DSM) and contour lines), a conditional survey before, during and aft

Drone Technology Reaches New Heights in the Construction, Infrastructure and Asset Inspection Market
74% of those not using drone technology plan on using it in future, so usage should continue to increase. There’s a big competitive advantage to early adopters of the technology. Those early adopters are starting to see a positive impact on their operational processes from the way projects are monitored to the inspection of assets. The digital/reality capture outputs from drone technology can be used at all stages of the construction phase: planning, design, construction, and

ProDroneWorx digitises 9km infrastructure project covering an area of 5.3km2 (1,300 acres)
What used to take months can now be done in days with drone technology. We created a digital twin of this project to helps surveyors, designers, project managers and senior management understand progress related to the design models, progress month to month while the information is being used to evidence the amount of work carried out. The use of fixed wing PPK drone technology allowed us to speed up data capture by months. We flew the entire project in 2 days, 1 day for grou

Managing digital outputs for dilapidation or schedule of conditions surveys
We all know (I hope) that drone technology can be used to produce various digital outputs for pre-acquisition, due diligence, dilapidation and schedule of conditions surveys plus for planned maintenance programs but how does a surveying company manage this digital data? ProDroneWorx can help you manage, analyse and share all of your assets digitally within your company and with clients. Managing building surveying work digitally brings so many benefits: 1. improves team colla

Drone technology reaches new heights by UK Construction Media
The number of companies using drone technology has increased significantly, although more advanced digital/reality capture outputs continue to be underutilised. The use of digital/reality capture information from drone technology continues to increase in the UK and Irish construction industries, with 52% of respondents now using the technology compared with only 33% in 2017, according to a survey by ProDroneWorx, one of the UK’s leading companies for aerial mapping, inspectio
