Drone Mapping for Construction Engineers

Fixed wing drones are ideal tools for managing earthworks projects. The elevation map output from drone data can be used to effectively track quantities, understand cut, fill volumes, and most importantly, stay on schedule.

As a construction engineer, you have a lot of responsibilities that require durable applications to operate in harsh conditions. Our RoboDot GNSS reference station has the ability to send RTCM3 correction signals via Wi-Fi with its NTRIP server. Additionally, this receiver makes precision measuring easily achievable for everyone with its modernized technology. RoboDot’s features include:

• GNSS observation logging 

• Wireless communication capabilities 

• External trigger capabilities 

…and more! 

Monitoring infrastructure and right of ways can be solved with aerial imagery from drones.  Using an orthomosiaic as an infrastructure monitoring tool to evaluate overgrowth and intrusions into a right of way is a much faster way to evaluate large areas of terrain versus watching long videos or notes from a visual observer.

Eclipse 2.0 is a photogrammetric mapping device with RTK/PPK capabilities that enables you to visualize the condition of your plot from a bird’s-eye view. The features of Eclipse 2.0 include: 

• High resolution ground sampling distance 

• RTK/PPK GNSS precision 

• Long endurance with portability 

…and more!

Accurate drone data of a construction site can be used in all phases, including the completion phase.  Since drone data is on demand, covering the as built results of a construction site can be obtained quickly at the end of a project in order to document the project and demonstrate accuracy of the deliverable.
