New technologies are constantly being introduced into all industries, including the land surveying industry. Drones can significantly improve construction project time lines, reducing the need for expensive reworks.

How Can Drone Surveys Benefit Large Construction Projects?

Drone surveys offer numerous benefits for large construction projects. They help to reduce expenses, improve data security, increase efficiency, and improve safety.

Increase Efficiency

Manually surveying a construction site was a time consuming and difficult process. Manual surveying takes a lot of time, often involving numerous surveyors, which increased the price of the surveys. Manual surveying also increased the risk of human error, resulting in survey reworks. Traditional surveying methods can take anything up to an hour to survey five acres, while drone surveys can provide the same service covering around one hundred and twenty acres per hour. That is sixty times improvement when it comes to efficiency.

Drone surveying is able to reduce the cost of your survey, while improving efficiency, ensuring you receive your survey faster. Using traditional methods, large construction sites require many days on site to complete one survey, along with re-surveying in many cases.

The construction industry is one where things tend to go wrong, causing unexpected delays. The inefficiency of traditional surveying can cause problems down the road. With increased efficiency, accuracy, and adaptability, drone surveys helps ensure your project goes ahead on time and on budget.

Reduce Expenses

Traditional surveying required a larger team of surveyors, along with a lot more time. As you can imagine this can increase the price of your survey considerably. Larger construction sites can benefit from the reduced expenses offered when using drone surveys. Drone surveys are faster with less manpower, helping you save money on your surveys before and during the construction process.

Improving Safety

Construction sites are dangerous, for you, your construction team, and the surveying team. Traditional surveying required the surveyors to enter hard to reach and inaccessible areas, increasing their safety risk. Drone surveying, on the other hand is done from the ground, making it easier to review data and site maps from any area of the work site without having to crawl into hard to reach and dangerous areas of the site.

With this increased safety, the risk of injury is beneficial. If your construction company is passionate about protecting their contractors and improving site safety, then the drone survey is the right choice.

Accurate Data

Collecting the important data with drone surveys is known as drone photogrammetry, or simply photogrammetry. This is the process of measuring distances from overlapping photographs, taking into account the various perspectives and angles. While this sounds complicated, it can be completed quickly and with outstanding accuracy, which is not as easy using traditional surveying techniques.

Fast, accurate, and affordable drone surveying is necessary, especially with larger construction projects that take time to cover the entire area of the site, saving you money, while enjoying fast and accurate information.
