Building With Drones

Construction sites around the world depend on inspections and surveys to obtain a comprehensive look of a construction progress, and to ensure that strict safety standards are being met in the process. With upcoming drone technology, operators can perform inspections in a cost-effective and efficient ways, while also keeping employees away from dangerous environments.

Information collected by a drone provides users with an opportunity to view a site in real time as it helps manage resources and keeps projects on schedule. This makes it easier for different parties to work together and collaborate to improve decision making.

Cutting cost and improving safety

Before the advent of drone technology, gathering aerial data and imagery was a tough and expensive task in comparison to traditional on-foot or manned aerial vehicle methods. Now, drones can quickly and easily perform an inspection of a job site in lesser time and at a cheaper cost than ever before. This saves time wasted on inspections. Operators can maximize efficiencies and review projects without disrupting work, while preventing their men from risks at sites and keeping them safe.

“People ask for return on investment. And they can see the benefits of using drones. It’s two or three times cheaper than using terrestrial products for the same work,” says Matthew Wade, Marketing Director, senseFly.

With pre-programmed flight paths that can be repeated on a daily basis, operators can view real-time imagery of projects as they are built to better monitor sites, optimize efficiencies, and quickly identify problems before they develop.

Rolling in the Deep

WHEN IT COMES TO choosing a career path, India has a long tradition of following the family practise. It is pretty common to see a doctor’s son taking up medicine or a chartered accountant’s daughter joining her father’s firm. So, when the son of the Dean of the city’s medical college and the grandson of the state’s most prominent physician decided to break the family tradition, quite a few eyebrows were raised.
