The benefits of hiring a drone professional for your construction site

01

Safety

Our drones eliminate the need for people to access confined, dangerous or high-risk locations, dramatically improving the safety of inspections.

02

Lower Cost of Rectification

Early detection allows rectification before greater deterioration takes place. The earlier the issue is identified and fixed, the lower the cost.

03

Early Detection

Due to lower costs and reduced risk, inspections can be made at greater frequencies. This increases the chances of identifying an issue at an earlier stage.

Pre-Construction

Conduct early works surveying and mapping for site feasibility, measurements and preliminary analysis of a project, structure or terrain to assess existing conditions.

During Construction

Record and report on construction progress, site activity, safety compliance and to validate contractor works using our aerial cameras and LiDAR scans for completed works or progress updates.

Post Construction

Deliver quality communications and marketing materials for project teams and stakeholders, social media, tender bids and sales presentations to demonstrate project success.

Automated defect detection

Using high-resolution imaging and LiDAR scanning we combine data with machine learning to automate defect detection. Using a combination of image analysis and defect indexing for faster asset inspection workflow.

Site Access and Project Planning

In the case of remotely located sites, terrain mapping will help to plan the best access routes and assess the existing conditions for planning. Get real-time site information knowing it is current, accurate and updated.

Site Volume Calculations

Modelling site volumes for earth work, spoil and any other organic matter that needs to be moved from the site, or material in a building to be demolished, allows for efficient and accurate job site planning, such as the number of trucks needed and labour required.

Building Inspections

Using optical and thermal camera sensors our aerial systems are capable of close visual inspections of building roofs and facades to quickly spot defects such as leaks, damaged tiles, brick work, corrosion, concrete cancer, cracks or any other structural issues.

Avoid time consuming and costly methods of inspection and analysis. Conducting a visual inspection in difficult to access positions poses risks to workers and takes time for approvals, job safety permits and often involves costly access equipment. Some confined spaces require additional training and certification to access due to noxious gases or worker hazards that are deemed too high-risk activities.

Solar Farm Inspections for Ongoing Operation and Maintenance

Drone Ops Australia can assist you to make the right decision. Just provide us with your optimal site requirements land size, land type, soil type and solar grid proximity.

Once you establish a preferred location, Drone Ops Australia can collect precise aerial data to develop topographical models to assist you in planning how to optimise the site for maximum power generation.

As many solar farms are in rural and remote areas, sending a team to a solar farm for inspection is expensive and often unnecessary. A precision drone inspection can provide all the routine data required to identify emerging issues during normal operation.

We can inspect your assets easily and affordably.

A well-prepared drone inspection strategy is crucial in monitoring the deterioration of assets.  Service interruptions, faults, and general wear and tear caused by neglect costs tremendous amounts of money to correct. Early detection of these issues is crucial for protecting infrastructure and company assets that are aging or have recently been exposed to severe weather.

By partnering with Drone Ops Australia, we can inspect your assets on the east coast of New South Wales, while you are anywhere in the country or the world.
