Construction industry open to using drones

The potential uses for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) on construction sites are endless. Drones, as they are commonly known, can be used for site selection, surveying, & real-time work inspections.

A small town in Connecticut, USA has started using drones to inspect the progress of a school expansion project. Although legislation has not been finalised in this US town yet, the team completed this free project to demonstrate the potential uses of drone on-site.

Unlike USA, South Africa has finalised legislation to be in effect on 1 July 2015. The delivery of this news should see construction companies looking to better ways of conducting their daily activities.

“Although it is unexplored territory, our drones will be able to cut surveying time & costs from the traditional surveying methods. RocketMine is open to discussing potential projects with the construction industry” – Chris Clark, RocketMine Division Head.
