Industry Spotlight: Construction

The construction industry today is being revolutionized by the use of drones. From increasing productivity in project management to enhancing safety, there are significant advantages to incorporating UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) into your team.

Enhanced Site Surveys and Mapping

Time consuming site surveys and mapping can now be a thing of the past when you utilize drones in your operations. Get a bird’s eye view of your project through aerial surveys and 3D mapping which quickly captures detailed images of your entire construction site and will provide you with precise data for initial analysis and ongoing monitoring throughout the project. This leads to well-informed decision making, reduced timelines, and ultimately cost savings for your team.

Improved Safety

We all know that safety is the number one priority in construction, and utilizing drones can greatly improve workers safety by reducing the need to physically access hazardous areas themselves. Instead, drones can take their place while workers monitor in real-time from a safe distance where they can identify risks early on and prevent accidents from happening in the future. These real-time monitoring capabilities enable proactive risk management, ensure compliance with regulations and promote a safe work environment for the whole team.

Efficient Project Monitoring

In order to effectively manage your construction project, accurate timing and frequent project updates are key. Drones enhance collaboration by allowing you to have real-time insights into project progress, enabling the team to monitor work quality, track asset inventory, and identify any risks that may hinder the project timeline. These advantages lead to overall better and more informed decision-making. By being aware of potential issues and taking preventative measures as soon as possible, you can minimize delays and ensure projects stay on time and within budget. This fosters client satisfaction and will enhance overall project outcomes.

These are just a few of the incredible advantages to incorporating drone technology into your construction projects. From quickly creating detailed site maps, to enhancing safety and efficiency throughout the entire project, you can be at the forefront of these incredible advancements in technology and ensure the timely and economical completion of your projects.

Getting Started with Your Drone Program

If you’re ready to optimize your construction projects with drones, there are three key elements you need to get started: training and certification (RPAS Centre), hardware (Altohelix), and mapping software (RPAS Wilco).

With these three key elements secured, you are ready to take advantage of drones and explore the endless possibilities of how they can streamline your project process while ensuring safety and efficiency along the way. Kick-start your drone program today!

RPAS Centre offers comprehensive courses to become a certified drone pilot, teaching you essential skills from flight techniques to regulatory compliance so you can begin incorporating drones into your construction operations.
