Drones for Progress Monitoring
Overview
Drones have become the go-to tool for construction firms to track, map, survey, inspect, and manage worksites more efficiently and safely.
Through aerial imagery and data, builders can map projects, report progress updates and gain insights through advanced analytics to make better, faster and more reliable decisions.
INCREASED SAFETY
REDUCED COSTS
EFFICIENT OPERATION
INFORMED DECISIONS
On-Site Progress
There’s an enormous amount of potential once construction gets underway – helping to track progress, keep tabs on materials, improving visibility and keeping sites safe. The data also provides a useful audit trail should problems arise and ensures any that do are dealt with as soon as they become known.
As the project moves to construction, drone users can keep an eye on assets and materials, more accurately gauge progress and completion and be confident in the quality of work based on highly accurate data, minimising the need for rework.
Drones also have benefits in keeping sites and workers safe and protected, spotting hazards before they occur, and adding to a wealth of information that reduces the likelihood of legal challenges
We use aerial drones for accurate surveying, monitoring construction sites for both progress and to quickly identify unsafe practices. Show your clients an aerial map or layout of an important construction project or simply to give them a current progress report within 24 hours.
How We Do It
By programming and automating our entire flight paths – including drone and camera movements, we are able to fly precisely the same flight over and over again. The resulting video and photographs allow for immediate and apparent evidence of construction progress on a weekly or monthly basis.
Specifications
• 4K UHD Video Filming
• 24 Megapixel Photography
• Computer controlled Drone & Camera movements
• Repeatable & identical each time
4 Videos taken on different Months.

What we can do
Showing The State of Progress
Most clients do not have the time to keep visiting an ongoing construction site, especially in the case of a 6-12 month project. Secondly, avoid having the client or investor disrupt the daily workflow by showing up onsite. Current on-the-ground pictures don’t always do the trick, so why not show your clients that you are now using the latest drone technology to document your progress reports?
Monitoring the Construction Site
Let’s face it, you have far too much work to be monitoring multiple job sites in any given day. Isn’t it time you took a bit of the load off and send up a drone to monitor weekly, bi-weekly or monthly progress on all your properties? We can provide you with a detailed video of the job site, any work standard or safety issues that may be going on and save you time, money and energy commuting from one job site to the next.
Inspection of Structures
Get detailed first-person-views of every detail including structure integrity, aesthetics, or even if something was installed off-plan. We can even stream the video down directly to a TV monitor onsite.
Improve Safety Records
With your projects recorded as the progress in Ultra Fine 4K video, you can discover an unstable infrastructure, or a labor or subcontractor that fails to show up on a given day, or document a discrepancy in the foundation as its being built. Our surveying and mapping can provide you and your clients with the images that can keep a project humming along with a proven safety record and help you maintain a stellar reputation.
Keeping Every Project On Track
Saving money and coming in on-budget is key to staying in business these days as a mechanical engineer or contractor. You need to determine right away if a project has gone sideways in order to prevent cost overruns. Let Drone Films LTD prevent accidents or damage, consistently monitor your job sites for abnormalities, and prepare you to move quickly on any budget overages or sub-standard work that could your project shut down.
Our Aerial progress videos and photography provide clients and project managers with up-to-date overviews of construction progress, preventing cost overruns and anomalies.
Aerial Photography
Construction site aerial photography is now being integrated into mainstream construction CAD software. Monthly progress photographs are being used to produce full 2d images that can be used for accurate measurement and use in conjunction with traditional quantity surveying methods.
Drone Photography Services see the applications where aerial photography drones (UAV’s) can be used cost effectively in the construction industry, and has been growing enormously over the past few years.
Images are now being used to create 3D meshes for building construction sites at key stages / milestones and these meshes are being integrated into the layers of CAD and construction project management software.

ROVs offer an easy, fast and effective way to perform hull inspections, dock inspections and virtually any task that requires immediate eyes under the water
Hull Inspsection
A vessel’s structural integrity, potential transferring of invasive species, or contraband smuggling demands periodic inspections of the vessel’s hull during transit and when entering port.
Our commercial grade ROVs provide an affordable, user-friendly way to perform marine surveys, ship inspections, and more without diver intervention.
ROVs offer an easy, fast and effective way to perform hull inspections, dock inspections and virtually any task that requires immediate eyes under the water.
Emergency hull inspections, nighttime inspections, ballast tank inspections, and marina checks are easily completed with Deep Trekker remotely operated vehicles. Boat, yacht or vessel owners now have a way to monitor the status of their hull without needing to dry dock it or send divers into unknown areas. This in turn gives them the opportunity to address any potential issues at the outset, avoiding higher repair costs and further damage to one’s hull. If an ROV boat inspection reveals any damage, you will know exactly where to send your repair team.
The ROV’s spherical shape and patented pitching system allows you to effortlessly maneuver it into tight spots. The internal battery power prevents the need for excessive cord management, which further simplifies the ROV’s operation. What’s more, the lack of the need for connectivity to a generator or topside box means you can deploy the ROV from anywhere on the vessel or docks — even in the most remote locations. In addition, we have several ROV attachments available, such as a thickness gauge, which allow you to see specific measurements about your vessel.
Using a camera on remote controlled underwater vehicles to perform hull inspections provides a cost-effective preventive maintenance step that can not only inspect current problems but also detect signs of minor hull damage before it can become a serious issue.
One of the biggest benefits of using a remote operated underwater drone can be the early detection of potentially destructive hull corrosion.
The Benefits of ROVs in Marine Survey/Shipping:
- Avoid unnecessary down time in deploying a dive team or lifting out of water
- Easily inspect areas too small for divers
- 270 degree camera rotation to quickly view the bottom of the hull
- Optional side-facing cameras to reduce inspection time
- Record all inspections with voice-over to SD Card
- Sophisticated add-ons such as Thickness Gauge and Sonar
Submersible Multi-function Vehicles
The Utility Crawler is the most versatile inspection vehicle of its kind. The sleek, three-wheel submersible comes with a magnetic option, creating the ideal vehicle for an array of underwater work.

Underwater Bridge Inspections with ROV Drones
Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROV), or underwater drones, are establishing themselves as the ideal tool for underwater bridge inspections.
With the public safety in mind and to continue the flow of traffic, these overpasses must be monitored on a consistent basis. Evaluating the overall architecture on the surface for any signs of damage or deterioration which, includes underwater bridge inspections
The entire submerged exterior of the bridges’ piers and abutments are surveyed for signs of erosion, destruction, visual signs of distress, and to examine the scour.
Commercial Divers & Their Safety
Traditionally, commercial divers undergo the task of underwater bridge inspections. For employee safety, teams of three or more divers navigate below the water to not only inspect the bridge’s edifice but also monitor the other divers’ security.
Given the variety of environments, unsafe situations often keep divers out of the water. At times, the visibility within the water is low or after an object collides into the structure, divers must examine the damage through the scattered wreckage. In this instance, a couple different options present themselves: acoustic imaging or Remotely Operated Vehicle inspections.
ROV innovations have become synonymous with underwater asset inspections, specifically with assets in zero visibility water.
Working with ROV Technology
Rather than sending a team of divers to conduct underwater bridge inspections, commercial diving companies and municipalities send the drone below the surface first. Remotely Operated Vehicle versatility allows for acoustic imaging integration; giving the opportunity to survey the area for any obstructions or potential threats to the repair team and to give an overall picture of the integrity of the structure.
The underwater drone’s construct with 4 vectored thrusters gives it the ability to move laterally; this is specifically important in bridge inspections. The ROV is able to work against currents and hold its position facing the piers or other areas of interest.
With a unique pitching system, an ROV boasts unmatched maneuverability. Coupling with the 330-degree field of view with the rotating HD camera, the ROV proves to be the ideal solution to underwater bridge inspections. This inimitable construction allows the ROV to hold its position and scan entire area using the imaging sonar.
Once the inspection is complete revealing areas of interest, repairs to the structure may begin using commercial dive teams. The underwater drone acts as the supervisor on-site; from the surface, the ROV operator monitors the diver’s progress and safety through the live video feed on the controller. Additionally, the video feed can be recorded or captured as a still frame; as a result, this provides the opportunity to archive inspections for later review or to present to clients the before and after.
For its versatility, robustness, and portability, the ROV continues to establish itself as the ideal tool to complete underwater bridge inspections
Acoustic Imaging
ROVs can use acoustic imaging if required for strategising of diving operations by identifying areas damage; giving divers an area to concentrate their repair efforts. Moreover, acoustic imaging provides foresight to potential dangers in the water prior to sending in the dive team.

Reality Modeling
Drones for Reality Modeling
Overview
Many existing structures have no information model, no accurate records, possibly some unreliable or outdated 2D drawings. If you are operating in an existing plant for instance with poor engineering records, we can now capture a precise 3D model using digital photographs taken from unmanned aerial vehicles to render an information model that you can maintain going forward.
Creating 3D Asset Drawings
To model a given asset, the aerial image acquisition process requires sharp overlapping photographs to capture imagery datasets which are used to not only observe current state but also to compare them to the model as time goes on.
Once the 3D models are created, they can be used to improve the construction of new facilities as well as in ongoing operations. Recurring 3D reconstruction will support inspection processes, and will allow engineers and designers to work on a 3D model that is always up to date for their enhancement or maintenance plans.
Drones and reality modeling should be a part of every maintenance organization and every proactive maintenance workflow to dramatically enhance productivity and safety in infrastructure asset inspections.
Conducting Inspections in Out of Reach Areas
From structural integrity issues on bridges and roads, to wind turbine blades, rig inspections, pipeline monitoring for wall thickness, welds, corrosion and other structural integrity issues, unmanned aerial vehicles with mounted cameras are helping maintenance to more easily and cost-effectively observe these out-of-reach conditions.
Bridge and road inspections, especially as regulatory guidelines move towards reliability-based inspection practices, will require flexibility as the frequency of inspections changes based on operating context. Water and power utilities are benefiting from unmanned drones using high definition sonar to conduct subsea inspections. All in all, the use of drones can make what used to be a difficult and costly task, easier and more cost effective.
Drones and reality modeling can and should be a part of every maintenance organization and every proactive maintenance workflow to dramatically enhance productivity and safety in infrastructure asset inspections.

A Game Changer for Agribusiness
Agricultural drones represent a new and much faster way to collect field data. The most compelling reason for using agriculture drones is that data is on-demand; whenever and wherever needed, agricultural drones can be easily deployed to gather up-to-the-minute information. These crop drones in the growing fields today are back-of-the-truck equipment, bringing advanced growers crucial information faster than ever before.
Agricultural drones permit better-than-satellite information on demand. Analyzing images with Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) algorithms yields extremely accurate crop mapping, all without pilots, planes or satellites. Multiple sensor studies produce perfectly focused data, too, as RGB, red edge, near infrared and other spectral analysis tools can reveal crop health and maturity, soil moisture and environmental stress when and as required.
Especially in comparison with flight operations, agricultural drones provide highly specialized and detailed data at a significant cost savings, allowing operations to expand monitoring and analysis in a big way. Notably, drone operation has also become fairly simple thanks to self-guided flight. Current drone models are proving sturdy and reliable in the field as well, making them easy to integrate into the crop-scouting workflow. Field missions become highly time efficient, too, as agricultural drones are “launch and forget” tools, allowing management to multitask while the drone works on a robotic program.
A simplified process:
Initial Survey
Defining the edges of each field for the drone nav system by GPS is the basis for every operation. Once done, flight parameters are uploaded to the drone via wireless link. Surveys are only required for the first flight and are saved to the on-board system.
Flight
The agricultural drone launches and executes the full survey flight automatically, returning to the start point to land.
Upload
After a round of flights, upload the information for data processing.
Analyze
Within hours, you’ll get an email alert; your results are available for viewing and download.

Drones for Waste Management
Industrial Pages
Overview
Drones are offering the waste industry innovative new ways of reducing costs, increasing accuracy of data collection, and providing greater oversight and efficiency in landfill assessment.
INCREASED SAFETY
REDUCED COSTS
EFFICIENT OPERATION
INFORMED DECISIONS
Highly accurate 3D models can provide volumetric analysis of areas that are hazardous to inspect from the ground, improving site safety while also allowing operations to continue while the survey is being conducted, resulting in reduced downtime.
Mapping of Landfills
Landfill managers are required to patrol their sites on foot regularly to address potential hazards that tend to increase in landfills. But landfills are massive and difficult to maneuver. With aerial access from drones, managers no longer have to hike through unstable terrain. In general, drone mapping of landfills has proven to be more time-efficient and less laborious.
With photos and videos captured by drones flying smoothly over the terrain, managers can analyze the landfill topography. This is then used to study the critical points of potential threats at the location, from examining the stability of the slope to tracking gases that can escape and can cause explosions.
Additionally, drone image mapping is made more accurate than manned surveillance using 3D models built from 2D aerial shot images. These models are useful as drones not only save the physical drag that landfill managers use to assess the landfill site, but also provide a more accurate and successful site inspection
Airspace Management
Volumetric analysis of cells can generate airspace calculations in seconds. Periodic surveys can increase the life of cells by tracking compaction rate over time.
Drone mapping saves time and money by providing a detailed overview of their sites in a fraction of the time it takes to do ground inspections.
Compliance Reporting
Airscope offers a cost effective way to collect the data needed to calculate current, changed and remaining airspace for your compliance reports.
Measurements can also be exported into tables and all major GIS software packages including ArcGIS, CAD & Bentley.
Thermal Landfill Mapping
In landfills, biogas is generated from waste mixtures, which can be explosive. To curb this situation, UAVs can be used to detect abnormal temperatures to prevent potential emergencies. The drone can fly over the landfill and scan areas with a thermal imager. These cameras analyze the thermal changes within set perimeters of the landfill. Landfill managers use this data to determine the potential risks of explosion and fire.
Thanks to the thermal imaging cameras installed, drones are even more reliable in detecting thermal anomalies than terrestrial thermal imaging. They measure many thermal statistics in real time and immediately send feedback. These drones bring added value to thermographic inspection of landfills
