use of drones in construction sector

Advantages of using drones in construction

The use of drones for construction management has been growing exponentially in recent years. They offer many advantages in terms of tracking, surveillance and location inspection with good, faster and more accurate results.

Below, we present some of the main advantages provided by the use of drones in the construction sector.

Drones provide various benefits for construction, engineering and architecture

1. Precise mapping

Most of the time, manual data collection and map generation are labor-intensive and time-consuming tasks. Drones can speed up this process by 60-70%. They provide high resolution photos, video capture and data through a LiDAR sensor or through the drone photogrammetry technique.

The LiDAR sensor transmits a laser beam and measures its reflection. Very useful for mapping, especially in topography when there are difficulties in accessing technicians. Construction drone surveying not only simplifies mapping, but also facilitates 3D modeling and analysis.

2. Minimum risk

Drones can replace people in the process of ensuring safety when accessing certain places. By integrating the drone with the monitoring device, real-time information is obtained and problems in certain areas can be instantly identified.

Therefore, the risk of accidents involving people and heavy equipment can be reduced during inspections in areas prone to hazards and risks.

3. Monitoring productivity and responsibility in the field

Drones used in construction make it possible to monitor team productivity. They can also check whether the equipment is installed or not. Therefore, they can easily identify the issue that is causing the project to run slowly. Easy and effective management.

4. Greater effectiveness in Marketing

Photos and videos are the best options to show the project. Until the emergence of drones a few years ago, certain operations could only be carried out with a helicopter to take photos and videos.

The high cost of a helicopter flight has no comparison with the accessibility in economic terms of a drone flight. The costs related to obtaining photos and videos are not parallel to their quality, flexibility, time and safety compared to the drone. These solve the same difficulties effectively.

Thanks to this technology, marketing efforts gain more with high-quality images. You can capture gorgeous projects from different angles in a relatively short time. The company can satisfy stakeholders with progress they can see visually.

Conclusion

The application of drones for construction management provides various benefits regarding safety, costs and time. Drones increase project efficiency with rapid data collection, mapping, and analysis. Furthermore, the information obtained can provide additional advantages if it is integrated with specific computer applications for construction, as it automates management tasks with access to real-time data.

The future of drones in construction will not stop. These benefits are just a few examples. As the technology develops, drones are expected to help construction companies in a wider area.

Posted on by admin-Gabriel

Acero Estudio’s team participated with its experience in data capture using the 3D laser scanner, GPS, Total Station and drones in this unusual project to provide a quick response and collaborate in the development process of a Due Diligence, whose purpose was to assess the acquisition of an industrial plant.

Our client was immersed in the process of urgently acquiring the property and needed reliable information about its spatial features to determine the quantities and value of the collected material.

Using our experience in handling various measurement scenarios, our team provided innovative technological solutions and accurate results.

The work was done in record time. Our challenge was to provide a solution that could accurately measure the volume of the material to later estimate transportation costs to another facility.

The procedure consisted of carrying out a 3D geospatial study and applying analytical methods to terrestrial or geographic data sets. The first step was to configure the control network with the total station and the GPS receiver.

The data collected from the 3D scanner and drone was processed using logging and photogrammetry software, quickly generating a 3D spatial representation of the facilities and material reserves. Finally, the spatial data was analyzed to calculate the volume of each individual reserve and plan the logistics of its relocation.

The result of the procedure was highly efficient. The time invested was less than estimated and this brought significant gains in all aspects. Without a doubt, an example of how the combination of technologies contributes to the fulfillment of our projects and the objectives of our clients.

robot 3d laser scanner

Capturing the environment using a 3D laser scanner sometimes becomes an arduous task due to difficult access to certain locations.

FARO has integrated its 3D laser scanner with Boston Dynamics’ Spot robot for autonomous point cloud capture. This integration focuses on automated capture and its main advantage is the increase in efficiency and data analysis in real time as well as the ease obtained when reaching areas of difficult transit for people.

“Our construction customers need turnkey solutions for autonomous documentation and analysis on the jobsite. Boston Dynamics’ strategic alliance with Trimble has allowed us to collaboratively build that solution by combining our strengths in robotics and construction, respectively”

– Brian Ringley, Director of Building Products at Boston Dynamics

Without tools like these, scanning has never been easier. The combination of FARO and Boston Dynamics allows us to document changes on site in the moment and make important decisions in the field, rather than waiting hours or potentially days for information to be transmitted to our project staff.

The indispensable help of drones

Posted on by admin-Gabriel
topografia y drones

Drone technology is advancing at exponential rates and is increasingly accessible, which is why different sectors are taking advantage of and adopting drones in their work to drastically increase their efficiency. In other words, drones are changing the way businesses operate by reducing costs, saving time, improving safety and providing a direct return on investment, so their impact should not be ignored.

In particular, the use of drones in topography (topographic surveys with drones) represents a revolution. While the use of traditional methods provides more precision, the use of drones in this type of work offers more survey surface in the same period of time.

“There is a saying in the construction industry: “Time, cost and safety, pick two.” And what makes drones really transformative for us is that we can choose and improve all three.”

– Grant Hagen, Director of VDC, the Beck Group

As we already know, the use of drones brings with it a large number of advantages and each of these advantages has to do with their ability to reduce the time, danger and cost of the project. However, another very important factor to consider is this, are drones as accurate as traditional ground surveying methods?

For many years, the precision of drones has not lived up to their theoretical potential although this has begun to change. With drone solutions, a wide selection of surveying techniques is available that allows any project to be developed with excellent results.

At Acero Estudio, a company specialized in drones for topography, LIDAR and photogrammetry, we invested in drones for the development of this type of projects and we were not wrong. What are you waiting for to find out?

Drones and their transformation of the AEC industry

Posted on by admin-Gabriel
drone inspección de obras

Companies in the AEC (Architecture, Engineering, Construction) industry are using drones to quickly and accurately collect topographic data.

The architecture, engineering and construction sector has historically been slow to adapt to technology. In fact, according to a report by the McKinsey Global Institute, the construction sector is one of the least digitalized. This is underlined by another report, this one from JBKnowledge, which reveals that almost 60% of construction companies do not invest in new technologies.

Much of the AEC industry is using technologies and processes that no longer adequately serve their needs, either for projects or for associations. However, one area where the construction industry is expanding its use of emerging technology is the use of drones. Estimates by PricewaterhouseCoopers place sources of drone work for infrastructure at a market value of $45.2 billion. Today, an increasing number of disciplines within construction projects – such as designers, surveying companies, environmental consultants, builders and inspectors – use drones in the field to take aerial photography (drone photogrammetry). , volumetric analysis and topographic mapping, among many other things.

The ability of drones to collect real-time data on the jobsite has dramatically increased workflow and efficiency in design and construction. Drones are used most frequently in construction to carry out studies on construction sites, as is the case of our company, Acero Estudio, supervising the progress of the GECAMA wind farm in Cuenca, with the help of this technology. . Drones capture data that surveyors need but typically cannot see, as they have an unobstructed, high-altitude view of the construction site.

This also helps make the construction site safer, as drones can inspect difficult or dangerous terrain, keeping human surveyors out of harm’s way and helping construction workers avoid dangerous areas. For all these reasons, drones are replacing traditional methods of terrain surveillance and greatly reducing the time and manual work required.

It is an irony that the AEC sector is one of the slowest to adopt new technologies and yet one of those that could benefit the most from them. However, this sector has more readily adopted the use of drones, which can save large design and construction projects a lot of time and money.
