Infrastructure

Learn how drones can help with heavy infrastructure inspections and maintenance.

Assisting Infrastructure and Construction Companies

Constructing and managing infrastructure such as roads, highway, railways, buildings, bridges, dams, industrial factories, utilities; telecommunication tower, electricity pylon and etc have substantial possibility to use Drone/UAV data to optimize their operations. Drones/UAV is mainly used in the infrastructure and construction industry for surveying and inspection purposes. Drones/UAV are equipped with advanced sensors, such as RGB, Multispectral, Thermal and LIDAR. A higher level of autonomy of Drones/UAV can make survey and inspections safer, faster and more accurate, plus they support the monitoring of infrastructural changes over time. MySpatial provide the knowledge and experience needed to complete successful construction and infrastructure development projects. We help enhance, improve, and validate decision-making by contributing to the feasibility, design, engineering, construction, maintenance, and decommissioning stages, ensuring long-term assurance.

Benefits of Using Drones/UAV for Infrastructure and Construction Projects

Time Saving

Inspection and surveying using Drone/UAV can effectively cut the conventional inspection time, with powerful AI-based detection functions to automatically identify damage or potential problems of the investigated structures.

Increased Safety

The ability to monitor and inspect pretty tough areas in the centre of machinery without having to enter them decreases the risk of personnel being injured. Drone imaging can assist in immediately locating a breach in a site's perimeter, preventing human entrance and related accidents. Inspections and maintenance work are where the most improvements in safety can be found. MySpatial can assist client to fly a drone and inspect images without risking their lives by climbing electric poles, using ropes to evaluate elements of a facility, or working alongside busy roadways.

Consistency

Drone/UAV inspections lower the risk of human mistake and improve inspection accuracy, resulting in less downtime for the structure. They also provide high-quality, easily accessible data on the subject of interest. The Drone/ UAV can get closer to a vital spot on the structure's body and acquire high-resolution images with a guarantee of full-body coverage using a semi-autonomous flight plan.

Cost Saving

Identifying and detecting structural problems early on, such as cracks at road or bridges will undoubtedly assist operators in preventing the cracks from spreading, saving money on costlier repairs in the long run. Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology combined with the use of Drone/UAVs will enable automatic detection of such issues on collected images and in 3D space, decreasing the burden and cost of skilled human inspectors.

Applications of Infrastructure Inspections and Survey

Transmission Lines

To detect vegetation encroachment and bushfire fuels accumulation, leaning power lines, collapsing wires, trapped metallic balloons, equipment degradation, vandalism, and other issues.

Telco Tower

Inspection using Drone/UAV can be applied to different types of towers such as monopole, self-support lattice, guy cable or rooftop towers. accurate information about the tower’s real condition, identifying any defects and corrosion for future maintenance.

Oil and Gas Pipelines

For leak detection and equipment corrosion .

Dams

Identify structural defects and needed repairs, and assure environmental compliance/avoid shut down claims during replacement work.

Vertical Structures

Identify and inspect any crack or anomalies for smokestacks, cooling towers, storage tanks, docks, and etc.

Bridges, Underpasses, Overpasses and Culverts

Conventional bridge inspections are costly, and those costs can increase significantly if interruptions occur because of problems with lane closure on the bridge. Bridge inspections using Drone/UAVs 75% cheaper to operate and unaffected by traffic congestion.

Roads and Highway

To assess cracking and maintenance needs of pavement, road furniture maintenance and asset inspection .
