CONSTRUCTION
Drone use in the construction industry is becoming more and more common because of the vast number of benefits they offer when it comes to detailing big or small projects in construction quickly. Typically, data was collected by walking a site, and manually gathering information as they go. But this process was labour-intensive and slow. The use of aerial images can be used in many ways. Data can be shared with clients or internally quickly and efficiently, used to help improve safety, and to focus efforts toward completing a project faster. By capturing visual data from above allows for a unique way to look at things, the data can be used in many ways for example…
Pre-planning – visual data collected by the drone can be used to plan efficiently before work has begun and record logs before the site has been built on.
Keeping clients in the loop/project monitoring – On construction projects, there are often multiple stakeholders in multiple locations who all want to know how things are progressing. Photos, videos, 3D models, and orthomosaic maps created with drone data can be used to provide clients with detailed, real-time reports on how a project is progressing.
Safety – There are areas on construction sites that may be too dangerous for a site inspector to enter, such as the boundary of a sinkhole, a roof or tall structures, or the debris around an abandoned building that needs to be demolished. A drone can quickly fly over areas, collect data to provide fast, on-demand information, removing the need for employees to put themselves in hazardous situations. Drone data can also show clearly how a site is being maintained, which can have important implications for safety.
Marketing – Aerial shots of developments will make for great marketing material whether they are used for brochures, social media, or company websites etc. You should actively be considering drones and aerial imagery if you want to improve your project performance and keep the project cost and schedule on track. Drones can benefit every project site with tangible value from the very first flight onward.
Solar
An aerial PV inspection involves using drones to fly over a site capturing all modules using an infrared camera. once this data is captured the photos are then stitched together creating a map of the solar farm. This map can then be analysed to identify potential anomalies across cells, strings or panels. Combining both the thermal and visual data will make it clear if the heat anomalies are caused by faults found physically on the panel such as delamination, dust, cracks or internal issues such as the panel not being connected due to an inverter or cable failure. These anomalies are not always visible and will affect the modules operating at peak efficiency causing a loss in revenue annually. maintenance costs are one of the main reasons for using drones for solar inspections. A ground team who would inspect each panel by hand would take days or weeks which would significantly inflate costs compared to doing it with a drone which could take anything from and hour to a day depending on the size of the farm. Drones are proven to reduce
inspection time by 70%.
telecom
In the telecom industry drones are used to create 3D models of the cell towers which can then be closely analysed. Simply this is to replace a climbing team which not only needs 2 qualified climbers but also will take a full day for a climb and cost a lot more than what a drone can do in creating the 3D model which can then be analysed by professionals creating a report this could be for damages, loose bolts, space for more antennas, or simple measurements. This 3d model can then be accessed at any time and used as a reference in years to come of how it has changed or not changed since.
