The cadastral information of a territory contains a series of data about the properties, that is: physical characteristics such as areas and delimitations, legal information such as ownership of the land and even an economic valuation of the approximate value of the properties.

Thanks to photogrammetry it is now possible to create digitized models and records that provide exact information on the physical characteristics of properties and for this initial record to be used to add more data to said model.

Thanks to our drone fleet, aerial photogrammetry has experienced a considerable improvement in efficiency and what previously could only be done with a small plane or helicopter is now within our reach. Graphic information capture technology, video cameras and other devices are all technological elements that have been improving over time and that today allow us to generate reliable cadastral information.

The Importance of good urban management

As is known, cadastral information is basic for carrying out adequate territorial management and urban planning; In this sense, having this information and using it translates into:

• Better urban administration.
• Greater resources and information for future city planning.
• Greater knowledge of the needs met and not met at the infrastructure level.
• Projection of number of inhabitants and demographic characteristics.
• Better management and allocation of public spaces for services: educational, health, etc.
• Transportation improvement and planning.

It is clear that cadastral management is essential to create a sustainable city, with services equitably provided and functional in terms of transportation. Do not hesitate to request information about our drone photogrammetry service in order to improve the cadastral registry; we are at your service.

While it is true that we often see drones as fun tools, in the last decade their use has amplified our capabilities in various areas. As drone specialists, at Acero Estudio we want to show how this important tool plays a vital role in infrastructure inspection today.

Aerial Photogrammetry: Capturing precise details from above

One of the most significant drone-driven advancements in infrastructure inspection is drone photogrammetry. This technique uses high-resolution cameras mounted on drones to capture detailed images from different angles, allowing the creation of accurate three-dimensional models of existing structures and facilitating the planning of new construction.

Large construction companies use aerial photogrammetry to evaluate the condition of bridges, roads and buildings, identifying possible structural problems early. Additionally, the ability to generate detailed models facilitates informed decision making during the design phase and reduces costs associated with manual inspections.

Monitoring and Surveillance of Works: Guaranteeing Safety and Efficiency

Drones equipped with thermal cameras and advanced sensors can closely monitor construction progress, identify potential safety risks, and provide real-time data to management teams.

Developed countries, such as the United States and China, have integrated drone systems to monitor large-scale construction projects, such as highway expansion and the construction of new facilities. This constant surveillance not only improves workplace safety, but also contributes to overall project efficiency by identifying and addressing issues in a timely manner. In the past, if you wanted to observe a work from the air, it was necessary to hire the service of a helicopter or light plane, but today, thanks to drones, this possibility is within our reach.

Infrastructure and its Impact on the Lives of Populations

Infrastructure plays a fundamental role in the quality of life of populations. From roads and bridges that facilitate transportation to water and energy supply facilities that sustain communities, these structures directly impact the well-being of society.

Large construction companies are using drones to inspect and maintain their critical infrastructure. For example, regular drone inspection of bridges not only ensures their structural integrity, but minimizes closure times and reduces traffic disruptions.

Future Perspectives: Automation and Collaboration with AI

As technology advances, the future prospects for drone infrastructure inspection become even more exciting. The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) will allow drones to analyze data autonomously, identifying patterns and anomalies without human intervention.

Fully automating infrastructure inspection using drones will not only improve efficiency, but also reduce the costs and risks associated with manual work in potentially hazardous environments. This points the way toward a more proactive and predictive approach to critical infrastructure maintenance.

As we move into the future, the collaboration between drone technology and artificial intelligence promises an exciting horizon for global infrastructure development and maintenance.

The Acero Estudio team in Peru carried out the geodesy work, drone flight and restitution of the area planned for Pedestrian Accessibility to and from the Metropolitan Stations, Lima.

Given the current global pandemic situation due to COVID-19, these tasks were all carried out under preventive measures and medical examinations.

To better understand the work carried out by our team in the project area, they began with the placement of Geodetic Points (one at each station) linked to the IGN coordinate system. Their measurement using dual-frequency differential GPS. Next, the necessary support points were located for the subsequent restoration of the drone flight. These support points were marked with an X-shaped template and paint, and measured with GPS in RTK mode.

The drone flight of the 33 stations was carried out at an appropriate height taking into account the height of the existing buildings and elements. For this, a DJI Phantom 4 Pro drone with a 20 Mpx camera was used. Once the photogrammetric images were obtained, they were processed and the point cloud and orthophoto of each station was created. With the orthophoto and the point cloud, the MDT was processed and subsequently the restitution of the environment of each station.

We thank our client CPS for all the trust placed in our team and the work of coordinating and directing the work carried out.

The monitoring and inspection of works with drones is being implemented as a valuable tool to document the evolution in the execution of works through drone flights.

Companies involved in the control and supervision of works are increasingly opting for aerial supervision with drones during the construction process, mainly to carry out four types of work:

• Execution progress control
• Checking the geometry
• Obtaining corporate and/or advertising videos
• Detailed images of unique elements.

Our monitoring, inspection and aerial supervision services for works with drones, both outdoors and indoors, allow complete tracking of the work. Among the main advantages of this technology, the following stand out:

• It helps to know the rhythm of execution
• Increases and improves the quality and quantity of graphic documentation in different phases of construction
• Minimizes costs, acquiring greater information in less time
• Improves safety by reducing accessibility difficulties, avoiding risks to the human team that carries out the inspection

At Acero Estudio we have a team of drones and experienced pilots, trained to develop any type of project, which allows us to guarantee the optimal result of the contracted work, as well as offer all the experience accumulated in the sector in each of the works. in which we participate. Through the acquisition of data, we carry out a precise study of the area and its needs, in accordance with the current UAS Regulations in Spain applied by the State Aviation Safety Agency (AESA).

We already have several projects carried out in this area, among which it is worth highlighting the supervision of the GECAMA wind farm (Castilla-La Mancha Wind Generation) in Cuenca, specifically in the municipalities of Atalaya del Cañete, Cañada Juncosa, Honrubia and Tébar, where the Application of this technology is providing a large number of benefits for different collaborators.

Hiring a drone service is an excellent investment for companies in any industry. This technology is used throughout the entire execution of the project, from feasibility and bidding to transfer and maintenance, so the opportunity to apply it whenever possible in any type of work should not be missed.

We thank GECAMA, TYPSA and Enlight for the trust placed in our team to carry out this activity.

Remember that drones are also important tools for drone photogrammetry services and lidar services.
