Construction and engineering company J. Murphy and Sons engaged ProDroneWorx to carry out a topographical survey of a large project for National Grid using drone technology and Extended Visual Line of Sight (EVLOS). Using drone technology allowed the 2D/3D survey grade accurate digital data to be captured much quicker and safer than traditional methods, being completed in one day as opposed to five. It also supported greater collaboration on the project by providing deeper da

Drone technology is the ideal tool for powerline or overhead line (OHL) survey or inspection work. The digital data captured plays a very important role with site planning and logistics, health and safety, inspection of towers, vegetation encroachment, client engagement, etc. All of the data capture can be managed in the cloud and analysed. The information gathered can be used by the onsite and offsite teams to understand the topography of a project (3D point cloud, digital s
