10 Pros & Cons of Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAV) for Surveying & Mapping
Drones have been around for a while now, used actively in the AEC (Architecture, Engineering & Construction) industry for aerial mapping, site and asset inspections, surveys, project marketing and more. These flying cameras are accessible, convenient, and a great alternative to manual site inspections or helicopters. Table of Contents In recent years, drone
5 Costly and Shocking Mistakes during Aerial Surveying and Mapping using Drones
Aerial surveying using drones is a game changer for architecture, engineering and construction (AEC) companies. Every aerial survey and mapping project aims to collect site data and generate 2D or 3D maps and 3D digital models that fulfill the accuracy standards of both surveyors and engineers. And as useful as drone
What Are Ground Control Points (GCPs) In Drone Mapping?
Using a drone for topographical mapping (also known as contour mapping) is still a new technology for aerial asset inspections. But if you’re familiar with drone mapping, then you’ve probably heard of GCP or ground control points. Using GCPs for drone mapping can improve survey accuracy and the quality of your
5 Innovative Ways to Use Drones for Road Construction
To an outsider, road construction might look deceptively simple. Surely, it cannot be as complicated as designing a multi-storey building or developing an industrial site or building large infrastructure right? Talk to any civil engineer and you’ll uncover a wide range of technical and practical aspects that impact road construction projects. Like any
