[GUEST POST] 5 Epic Drone Videos of Construction Sites

Unmanned aerial vehicles or “drones” as they are more commonly referred to are taking off (no pun intended) like a rat up a drainpipe. At times it feels like you are on the set of Terminator, machines high in the sky, ‘technologizing’ the world we live in. No matter if you are for or against this phenomenon, the construction industry is definitely embracing it.

The reality is that commercial drones are cheaper to fly than manned aircraft and faster than human surveyors, so the return on investment is significant. They collect data far more frequently, letting construction worker’s track site progress significantly more accurately than the industry has previously ever experienced. With the right computing tools, builders can turn sensor data into 3D structural models, topographic maps and volumetric measurements (monitoring stockpiles of resources and materials).

 

The advantages are undeniable in efficiency on the jobsite, BUT this article is not about the importance of drones. Here at GenieBelt, we have selected 5 cool drone videos of construction sites around the world. Sit back and enjoy.
