Drones Are Used In The Construction Industry:

Not just in tier 1 cities, but in Gainesville as well! We were recently contacted by a consortium of companies that are building a project in Butler Plaza in Gainesville. We were contacted with a simple question.

What can drones do for construction projects? How can drones save them money?

The answer is that drones can save a lot of money on construction costs!

What We Proposed:

We were contacted right construction had begun and therefore were just in time to do a proper aerial survey of the land that was to be built on. We spent a thorough day with 3 drones in the sky and created a 3 point cloud, orthomosaic map, and captured general pictures to perfectly showcase the elevation, terrain, and foliage that was present on the land that was about to be built upon. The client agreed to do weekly drone flights to capture progress shots of the construction that was taking place, as well as regular stockpile inspections with our smart software calculating the stockpiled building materials.

Our Second Flight:

Monday, April 3rd, 2017. It was a sunny brisk morning and we were on location in Butler Plaza in Gainesville at 10:30 in the morning. The sun was at a perfect angle and shadows weren’t particularly bad. We had 3 drones on site with 3 remote pilots and two spotters, and 19 batteries for the different aircraft.

For this job we flew the DJI Phantom 4 Pro for detailed 20mp images and orthomosaic mapping to supplement the first inspection we did before groundbreaking. We had our DJI Inspire 1 capturing imagery, and our brand new DJI Inspire 2 flying low and taking low level imagery to supplement the low level details that couldn’t be captured from the high-flying drones. The Inspire 2 is also very new for us and we didn’t feel like risking our $9,500 baby, especially considering the few random bugs that we’ve been experiencing with it’s software. We also had to plan our frequencies smartly to avoid interference.

By 1pm we had spoken with all the managers on site who were captivated by what we were doing, and captured all the imagery and data that we needed to get the first shoot done. At this point we went back to our office and started running the images through our software.

Conclusion:

Aerial Data Collection and Imagery is here to stay. It’s where every industry is going to keep up with the times, and we’re no stranger to the new. At Veuwr we strive to learn with everything we do. Every day is a learning experience where we learn how to serve our clients better.
