Transco Trains for Drone-based Powerline Inspection
Inspecting power lines the traditional method is slow, hazardous, and cost-inefficient. Previously, power and utilities companies had to choose between ground patrols and helicopters when conducting inspections. TRANSCO – one of the leading power distribution companies in the UAE now successfully employs drone-based powerline inspection, under the training of FEDS.
How to get a Commercial UAE Drone Permit
Unmanned Aerial Vehicles or drones are rapidly growing in popularity for their widespread commercial applications. In the UAE especially, drones have become increasingly lucrative to many industries. The UAE’s proactive approach to the adoption of smart technologies has springboarded drones into major industries such as Power & Utilities, Construction, Oil & Gas and Agriculture. Let’s see how to get the UAE drone permit.
Making the operations safer with Drone Inspections in Oil & Gas field
Oil and gas fields are home to a plethora of hazards–many of which are caused by the process, product, and environment. To maintain a safe working atmosphere and prevent accidents and incidents, regular inspections of assets are necessary. Unsurprisingly, internal inspections of Oil field assets are not easy or safe- especially using traditional methods. This explains the rise in popularity of drone-powered internal inspections- Drone inspections in Oil & Gas make the operations faster and safer while being more cost-effective and yielding better data.
Intuitive Indoor Inspection using Flyability Elios 2
Companies are using indoor drones to significantly reduce injuries and fatalities during internal inspections. Here’s how they’re doing it. In addition to savings, safety is one of the biggest benefits to using indoor drones for internal inspections. Flyability Elios 2 is the most intuitive, reliable, and precise indoor inspection drone. Keep your workforce out of harm’s way while performing flawless inspections right from the first flight using cutting edge drone data capture capabilities.
Construction Progress Monitoring: How can I improve my Business?
Rework in construction typically costs about 5% of the overall contract value. And the time overruns are worse, at roughly 7.1% of total work hours. These overruns impact relationships between trade contractors, general contractors, and owners, which makes it crucial to reduce and avoid rework. Drone and Crane Camera progress monitoring can reduce the rework by 20-25% by bringing real-time as-build data to help contractors identify a conflict in project designs and avoid unnecessary rework.
DJI Phantom 4 RTK Mapping: Visionary Intelligence, Elevated Accuracy
DJI Phantom 4 RTK is a godsend for surveyors working in cities or on small to medium-sized fields. The drone’s small frame, combined with its simple workflow, makes it incredibly simple to integrate into your workflow.
Come join in the conversation with industry veteran Scott Henderson Head of Sales at The Drone Centre, as he explores DJI’s Phantom 4RTK and how you can use it to monitor your construction sites.
Using DJI’s Phantom 4 RTK To Avoid Rework In Construction
If you’re in the construction industry, you know that projects are often spread out and involve many teams. As a construction manager, it can be a real challenge to properly coordinate multiple teams across the entire site from the command center. Fixed cameras don’t give you a complete picture, and manually walking through the site is terribly inefficient. So how do we overcome this? Let’s look at how one Phantom 4 RTK made the difference between misaligned roads and a rework-free construction site.
Zero GCPs: How DJI Phantom 4 RTK makes Drone Surveying Highly Accurate
Surveying and mapping is hard work, you’re out in the sun all day squinting through a viewfinder. Just you and your trust total station battling nature and sore muscles- must be better than complicating the status quo with GPS and unmanned aerial systems- Right? That’s where you’d be wrong. What if I were to tell you, introducing advanced surveying tools like drones is not going to complicate your workflow. Let’s take a look at how using DJI Phantom 4 RTK with the D-RTK 2 ground station can save you a lot of time, money and body pain while keeping things simple.
How are Indoor Drones Improving Safety in Internal Inspections?
Companies are using indoor drones to significantly reduce injuries and fatalities during internal inspections. Here’s how they’re doing it. In addition to savings, safety is one of the biggest benefits to using indoor drones for internal inspections. The reason for this is simple. By using an indoor drone to collect visual data, inspectors don’t have to collect it themselves. This means that drones can take the place of inspectors, reducing the need for them to enter potentially dangerous places inside assets like boilers, pressure vessels, or chimneys.
How DJI Zenmuse L1 Makes Right of Way Surveys Flexible and Practical
Right of Way (ROW) Surveys are tricky but incredibly important to Power & Utilities companies looking to expand their power grid. Especially in areas with dense vegetation and tree growth, in these areas, photogrammetry cannot provide bare ground level elevations. Without a reliable DTM (Digital Terrain Model), the next set of substations and power lines cannot begin. This is where LiDAR comes in. Using drone-powered LiDAR -DJI Zenmuse L1, we were able to survey the modest stretch of land quickly, efficiently and cost-effectively.
