Traditional Surveying vs Drone Surveying
The safety of employees is a top priority for any business. With traditional surveying methods, employees must physically go onto the site and take measurements from point-to-point, putting themselves and potentially others at risk. However with drone surveying this can be done remotely by someone who is a trained drone pilot that can be conducting the survey from a safe environment without risking themselves or others around them. Overall, with the use of drones it is easier, faster, and cheaper to obtain extremely accurate data.
Here are some other benefits to drone surveying:
For a project flown with the drone, it is important to keep in mind that accuracy ranges vary depending on where you're located. For example at ground level there's an expected range between 5 cm-10cm horizontal and 15 vertical centimeters.
It’s more affordable
The use of drones for surveying has revolutionized how construction projects are managed. The time it takes to complete surveys and map out buildings is reduced from days or weeks, down into just days with extremely accurate data! Not only does this cut waste on labor costs but also speeds up progress so that you can get your job done quicker than ever before- all without sacrificing quality workmanship
Work on-site continues as normal
The data captured by drones is invaluable when it comes to providing an accurate portrayal of what's happening in a given area. This means that, even during surveys for initial or subsequent progressions, the work being performed on-site can occur without interference.
Less manpower is needed
When drones are used to survey a construction site, the potential for human error can be avoided and time can be saved. This is because there's usually multiple surveyors present when performing traditional surveys. With the use of drones, you can fly above dangerous terrain or hard-to reach places.
No area is hard to survey with a drone
Some survey areas can become too steep or be unsafe in general for traditional survey methods. With drone surveying, this will never be an issue again. The reason being that surveyors no longer need to work in dangerous or high risk situations. Drones are not only safer, more efficient and cost effective. Drones can almost guarantee more accurate data than humans could, no matter the accessibility they could have on the ground.
