Tower / Energy / Telecommunications Asset Inspections

Drones are perfect for cataloging infrastructure over distances and vertical heights, delivering high-resolution imagery and thermal mapping of equipment status. Data acquisition for these inspections are often associated with great time and financial expenditures. Commercial drones are changing the way operators are auditing and inspecting wireless infrastructure by enabling a safer collection of high-resolution imagery and video of tower structures and equipment. By deploying Drones, the industry will greatly improve the operational efficiencies by having reliable, accurate aerial data of their assets. Drones also reduce the need for workers to climb towers, high tension arrays, and poles to perform routine audits and inspections. Drones used for tower inspection also allow operators to quickly identify and verify tower equipment specifications and condition. Transmitting live, high resolution images and/or video which management can see on the ground or from the desktop, any urgent decision making regarding follow up maintenance or repair procedures can be taken without delay. Data can be stored and compared with each inspection, allowing for maintenance scheduling and budgeting.

Industrial Infrastructure InspectionsEnergy, Utilities, and Critical Infrastructure are beginning to see the vast potential for drones to reduce costs, improve safety, increase reliability and more quickly analyze anomalies and malfunctions. While utilities currently conduct most maintenance operations by visual inspection, new developments within the FAA have helped to pave the way toward more cost-effective UAV-based infrastructure maintenance. Utilities industries regularly perform activities such as maintenance and inspection and traditionally, these tasks have been performed by helicopters and third-party inspection services. Today, with tight profit margins and safety an utmost concern, UAS technology, or drones, ensure efficiency, situational awareness and much more.

COST EFFECTIVE INSPECTIONS: Until recently, methods of surveying, detecting and locating leaks and repair issues have been inefficient and costly to conduct. Drones can help reduce the expense of carrying out inspections, especially in the case of hard to reach equipment, power lines, gas lines, railroads and highways. It has been estimated that drones could cut aerial inspections costs up to 50 percent.

WORKER SAFETY: UAV applications allow for safe 3D mapping of drill sites, gas pipelines, landfills and other hazardous municipal operations. Researchers have concluded that the use of drones could improve worker safety for routine inspections ranging from remote areas to dense cities, and for surveying damage to energy networks after natural disasters, etc.

IMPROVED INSPECTIONS: Drone functions like orthomosaic imagery, mapping and LIDAR, a surveying technology that uses a laser light to measure distances, could help reduce the difficulty of inspecting hard-to-reach areas. UAV’s equipped with cameras can access difficult to reach areas for closer visual inspections than humans have been able to previously, due to visual line of sight and safety reasons.

Utilities industries regularly perform activities such as maintenance and inspection. Traditionally, these tasks have been performed by helicopters and third-party inspection services. Today, with tight profit margins and safety an utmost concern, UAS technology, or drones, ensure efficiency, situational awareness and much more.

DATA COLLECTION EFFICIENCY: Drones offer speedier data retrieval than traditional ground or air (i.e. helicopter) observation. A single drone provides a much quicker way to capture the same type of data and photos that two or three workers would take several hours to produce. Moreover, drones can digitize that data and turn it into something operators on the ground can analyze and take-action almost instantly.

ACCURATE DATA: The innovative things that utilities do with the data they capture will create a competitive advantage for their organization. Drones can glide over rugged terrain, where it’s hard for utility workers to get around, and send back images showing the condition of power lines and pipelines to flag major issues to the ground team.

Building Design & ConstructionUses of Drones Throughout the Construction LifecycleA drone program is a smart investment for construction companies right now. They can be used through the entire construction lifecycle, from feasibility and bidding to handover and maintenance.

Feasibility and Bidding: Drones can be equipped with cameras, geo-location sensors, infrared sensors, and more. The data can then be imported into survey software to create 3D models of existing conditions. This helps with determining feasibility, understandingconstructability, and helping owners visualize what the project will look like in the end. It can also be used to identify areas of risk.

Design and Pre-Construction: Drone surveys help inject real-world conditions into design and constructability conversations. The ability to easily capture site information also improves the rate at which the design can be iterated on.

Construction: During the construction phase, drones have many current and potential uses. They help to track and communicate progress, track and manage materials and assets, reduce theft, improve owner visibility, increase safety, and provide valuable information for improving design changes. They also create a valuable documentation trail in case of problems.

Handover and Maintenance: Drone data also has a practical value in property management and maintenance, providing owners and managers with visual data regarding the as-built condition of the building. Additionally, drones equipped with thermal imaging capabilitycan detect heat leaks in a building envelope or along a long run of underground utility piping.

Commercial Roofing ManagementCOMMERCIAL ROOFING PROJECT MANAGEMENT / INSPECTIONS

What Problems Are We Solving:The visual intelligence of ConnexiCore Cloud imagery, combined with the measuring and analytical tools provided leads to an efficient and accurate inspection and assessment all in a web browser.

Time and cost savings- What’s a typical roofer’s workflow like without drone technology? A roofer gets a call and schedules an appointment with the homeowner. That roofer then drives to the job site, measures the property, and then does the math to work out area, pitch, and other details. If they bid too high, they risk losing the customer, and if they bid too low, they lose profits and have to deal with setbacks like material shortages later on. Using measurement data in ConnexiCore Cloud report, however, there’s no math to do on the job site or back at the office. Roofers can show up with measurements—and a bid—in hand when they first meet with the homeowner. ConnexiCore Cloud reports help roofers save time and get the accuracy they need to place the right bid. By bidding just right, they can win more jobs and boost their overall profit.

Improved job safety- Climbing up onto an unfamiliar roof can be risky for even the most experienced roofers. With aerial imagery included in every ConnexiCore Cloud report, roofers can see a roof before they even set foot on the property. Aerial measurements can help roofers limit their time on the roof, so there’s less risk before a job can even begin.

Faster, more versatile bids- Roofers don’t have to be on the computer to see highly detailed property measurements. The ConnexiCore Cloud App enables roofers access drone roof data on the go. The new dashboard on the app helps roofers keep jobs organized and increase their efficiency. ConnexiCore users can view the most pertinent property measurements in a summary or see the entire report within the app.
