Project Planning and Analyses

Construction, Homeowner

Construction sites under development can change on a daily basis and often change significantly on a weekly or monthly basis. Depending on how quickly progress is moving, weekly or monthly progress updates using orthomosaic maps may be exactly what the project management team needs. In construction, architecture, and engineering, more than any other industries, there is a need to share information amongst team members and work collaboratively in order to maintain a project timeline. We make it easy to share this data whether that is via a link to view the interactive orthomosaic or simply a place to download the file(s). Beyond the standard visualization of the property from above, data from mapping can be used for thermal analysis (requires IR capture), measurements, roof condition reporting, and even volumetrics.

Images taken by drones can also be used to create accurate maps of the accident scene

Uncategorized

The NTSB has been quick to embrace drone technology. Bill English, Investigator in Charge of the Atlas crash, developed the NTSB’s Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) program several years ago when he realized the benefits drones could bring to accident site documentation. “We have a very good solid bedrock foundation for how to conduct robust investigations,” English says, “That foundation lets us use cutting edge technologies like this to improve the quality and efficiency of safety work.” Drones are able to gather high resolution images, preserving perishable evidence like ground scars, presence of hazardous materials, and the position of control surfaces, which can get moved as wreckage is collected. Aerial photographs have always been an important feature of major mishap investigations, but drones make those photographs faster, easier, and safer to…
