Description
This webinar explores the evolving role of drones in surveying, construction, and inspections, focusing on their technological capabilities, legal frameworks, and practical applications across industries.
Key Points:
- Efficiency and Safety: Drones improve safety, speed, and cost-effectiveness in tasks like topographic surveys, volumetric analysis, and infrastructure inspections.
- Technology and Accuracy: Modern drones with advanced payloads (e.g., LIDAR, thermal, multispectral) and photogrammetry software produce high-resolution, georeferenced data for precise measurement and modelling.
- Regulation and Compliance: UK drone operators must comply with strict legal standards, including registration, flight restrictions, insurance, and licensing, especially for commercial use.
Learning Objectives:
- Identify key drone types, payloads, and their suitability for specific surveying or inspection tasks.
- Understand the legal responsibilities and best practices for operating drones safely and compliantly in the UK.
- Evaluate the benefits of drone-derived data (e.g., photogrammetry, thermography) in improving planning, monitoring, and decision-making processes.
