Drone Building Surveys

Aerial Property Inspections and Surveys - Drones and the Construction Industry

Despite the fact that drones have a huge amount to offer the construction industry, it’s an area that has been slow to develop. However, the use of UAVs when it comes to all sorts of building projects is finally beginning to increase and construction firms are realising the benefits of having a camera in the sky.
In the USA, where we tend to look for previews of what’s to come to us here across the pond, it’s predicted that a large percentage of drones will employed in the field of construction and this is a sizeable amount when you consider that the overall number of drones forecast to be in the country by 2021 is in excess of seven million.

Drones can offer benefits in

- Building surveys
- Inspection & monitoring
- Thermal imaging to assess insulation efficiency, thermal bridging and water ingress.
- Architectural design
- Monitoring safety and security
- Creation of marketing materials

An airbourne view of the site can offer a brand new perspective on project progress – easily shareable with all interested parties. Powerful cameras can obtain images and video of details to allow for assessment without the erection of costly scaffolding or hire of elevated platforms. Footage and images can also provide a clear record of each stage of construction to act as a blueprint for future maintenance teams. There are just so many ways that working with drones in a construction environment can offer new ways of working or most cost effective ways of achieving objectives.

The cost of maintaining a fleet of drones and qualified pilots in house can mean that it is more cost effective to outsource your drone requirements and there are local pilots who will be willing and able to assist you from right within our network.

Forest Canopy Survey Using Photogrammetry Techniques

Caterham School Photogrammetry of Forest Trees - Surveying for Chalara Fraxinea – Ash Dieback Last year, we were asked by Caterham School to survey and map their school forest known as Old Parks Wood. Ash trees within the wood were suffering from Chalara Fraxinea (Ash Dieback) a disease which has the potential to kill off 80% of the ash trees in the 45-acre wood and once dead, would quickly become dangerous to wildlife and other users of the woods, including the school pupils. The mission was to map the forest canopy by drone using photogrammetry survey techniques so that the school could get a full understanding of the degree of diseased trees that were present, and then subsequently put in place a management plan in conjunction with the Forestry Commission, Natural England and the local council. Project Background In 2014 the school had bought approximately 140 acres of Old Park Wood – partly to protect it from the threat of development but also to secure its long-term future as a bi...

The Role of Building Thermography in Eco-Friendly Practices

Guardians of Sustainability: The Role of Building Thermography in Eco-Friendly Practices Sustainability has become a central focus in the construction and maintenance of buildings, and building thermography emerges as a powerful ally in achieving eco-friendly practices. In this article, we delve into the transformative role of building thermography in promoting sustainability, from energy efficiency improvements to the identification of hidden environmental hazards. Building Thermography as an Environmental Watchdog Building thermography, leveraging infrared technology, acts as a vigilant guardian for sustainability in the construction industry. By capturing and visualising heat patterns, thermal imaging identifies areas of inefficiency and waste, guiding efforts to reduce a building’s carbon footprint. According to a report by the World Green Building Council, incorporating thermal imaging in construction projects can lead to an average reduction of 25-30% in energy consumption. Thi...
