February 2024: Survey of the state of preservation of the floor of a building
Operating by means of a drone has enabled undeniable advantages:
1. Efficiency
Drones help make inspections more efficient by greatly reducing intervention time and very often avoiding the need for expensive infrastructure. On average, drone inspections are estimated to be twice as efficient as human inspections and 40 percent less expensive per meter of inspection.
2. Security
The type of entry and environment that characterizes the confined space often presents some level of risk to operators. Using a drone to collect visual data can reduce or even eliminate this risk altogether.
3. Quality of the data
The 4K resolution camera with which the drone is equipped allows for very high quality video. The drone is also capable of generating a 3D digital map of the route taken, which can possibly be reused in subsequent BIM or photogrammetry post-processing. The very high resolution with which the surveys are performed allows the operator to identify even the smallest defects. The digital map of the route, stored by the drone, also makes it possible to precisely locate the position of points of interest, within the route.
