Construction
Traditional Challenges in Construction Planning and Design
-
The lack of precise position data makes it difficult to align BIM designs, road vector maps, and satellite imagery, costing time and labor.
-
2D designs are unable to illustrate the spatial information required to fully visualize the design.
-
The BIM designs can be quite different from the reality model, making it difficult to visualize and verify the design.
How Drones Empower Construction Planning and Design
-
Create 3D models with accurate positioning data that can be readily fitted into the BIM models to visualize designs.
-
Designs can be optimized using drone-created 3D models that are compatible with a variety of GIS software.
Progress Monitoring
Traditional Challenges in Progress Monitoring
-
It is difficult to keep track of oil and gas facility construction projects as are often spread out, involving many teams.
-
Fixed cameras onsite are unable to cover the entire site in detail, failing to capture critical progress information.
-
Large quantities of video footage can drown out critical details, making it difficult to track specific areas of the project.
How Drones Help Monitor Progress
-
Drones can create accurate 2D maps and 3D models of the site on-demand.
-
3D models can be used to track dynamic changes or day by day progress.
Data Collection
Traditional Challenges in Data Collection
-
Oil and gas construction projects usually span across far distances, making site surveying and general data collection difficult and inefficient with manual tools.
-
Resource exploration requires a continuous data stream of a large area data, and failure to obtain equipment status in a timely manner may result in inaccurate data.
How Drones Empower Data Collection
-
Drones are flexible, compact, yet powerful, delivering survey-grade data of large areas efficiently.
-
Deploy as frequently as needed to monitor equipment status and ensure data accuracy.
