• NHAI to build 14,799 km of roads-used for highway inspection,

monitoring, aerial mapping and other project progress aspects.
• Namami Gange Program: utilized for site surveys, monitoring, and
mapping.
BENEFITS
14

 Quick inspection response

 Reduction in or elimination of equipment downtime

 Precision and accuracy

 Increase in safety

 Drones Integration With BIM

 Time reduction in data collection 15

 Real-time imagery(satellite images)

 Detailed site analysis

 Photo documentation of before and after inspection

 16

Positive effects of using drones can be noticed by the 239% growth in

adoption of drones in the construction industry.
CHALLENGES
17
 Pilot Error
 Too windy
 Loss of communication
 Fly-away – Automated system error
 Loss of GPS
 Loss of Altitude (IMU failure)
 purchase price

FUTURE SCOPE
19
 Complete commercial suitability
 Fully compliant safety and regulatory standards-based design
 Platform and payload interchangeability
 Automated safety modes
 Full airspace awareness
SUMMARY
 Much needed for developing construction industry 20

 Commercial applications for UAVs are being developed

 Technological improvements will make UAVs faster, stronger and
safer.
 Regulatory impact for flying
 Contractors should analyze potential costs, operator training, usable
applications, and legal issues
