Commercial Aerial Imagery (sUAV)
Small Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (sUAV) provide significant benefits for facilities management and construction industries
Oftentimes, construction progress is monitored in part from photos taken on the ground. While this can be a useful tool to assess the progress of construction and document conditions at a particular point in the process, the ability to generate high-resolution aerial imagery on a regular basis – be it monthly, weekly, or even daily – will provide a more complete record of progress (or lack thereof). The efficiency of the application allows for repetitive, regular use, and provides another useful tool for both the developer and contractor.
- Project Safety: Identify potential hazards and reduce human risk by avoiding the use of lifts, scaffolding, and rigging.
- Cost Reduction: Aerial footage/mapping is more accessible, accurate, and cost-effective than manned aircraft.
- Communication: Communication and management solutions are delivered quickly and effectively.
- Documenting Compliance: Photographs and video further document project compliance for various regulatory agencies to reference.
It is imperative you know the following crucial information when considering who to partner with for your Aerial Imagery needs:
