DRONE ( Dynamic Remotely operated Navigation Equipment)
Over the last decades, new digital technologies have appeared to enhance
Productivity,
Reduce overall time and cost of construction tasks.
An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAVs) commonly known as a drone, is an aircraft without any human pilot, crew, or passengers on board.
UAVs are a component of an unmanned aircraft system, which includes adding a
Ground-based controller and
A system of communications with the UAV
technology is used for various construction related aspects
Types of drones used in the construction industry
In the construction industry has seen an almost 240% increase in drone usage, higher than any other commercial sector.
Although there are a large number of drones on the market, commercial drones are commonly used in the construction industry .
Drones can be classified on a different basis,
like drones for photography,
drones for aerial mapping,
drones for military purposes and surveillance, etc.
Best classification of drones can be made on the basis of aerial platforms. Based on the type of aerial platform used, there are 4 major types of drones;
fixed wing drones,
multi rotor drones,
single rotor drones and
fixed wing hybrid VTOL drones.
DRONE applications in construction:
Photogrammetry
Aerial mapping
Project Monitoring- real time data
Land survey
Quantity survey
Quality survey
Structural health monitoring survey (SHM)
Under water survey
Drones have the potential to expedite the construction process in several ways:
Site Inspection: Quickly and easily inspect a construction site, providing high-resolution images and videos that can identify potential issues and obstacles. This information can be used to make informed decisions, such as altering the design or construction methods to avoid delays.
Progress Monitoring: Capture aerial images and videos of the construction site at regular intervals, providing a comprehensive overview of the progress of the project. This can help project managers identify areas where work may be lagging behind and take corrective action before it becomes a major delay.
Volumetric Calculations: Capture data that can be used to calculate the volume of materials needed for project, such as earthworks or concrete pours. This can help project managers order the correct amount of materials and avoid delays caused by shortages.
Safety and Compliance: Used to ensure that construction activities are compliant with safety regulations and environmental requirements. This can help avoid delays caused by non-compliance or legal issues.
Delivery Management: Used to expedite the delivery of materials and equipment to the construction site, reducing the amount of time workers spend waiting for deliveries.
Drones can significantly reduce the time required for site inspection, progress monitoring, and compliance checks, allowing construction projects to be completed faster and more efficiently.
