Use of Drones in Construction

940OC_DP_TerraCotta_H1__t13With the current explosive growth of innovative technology, there have been many advancements that are changing the world. Some recent technology can be beneficial to the construction industry. One of those advances is the Unmanned Aircraft System, UAS, commonly referred to as drones. Drones are remote controlled flying robots.

Drones provide many advantages to construction work. A video camera can be attached to a drone to allow contractors to provide a virtual tour to customers of the work being done on the jobsite. They can be used as an additional marketing tool for contractors. Drones also allow contractors to keep a close eye on the workers at a jobsite to ensure that everything is progressing smoothly and safety protocols are being followed. Surveyors are also able to use drones in their work.

In additional to many new opportunities for contractors, there are also some legal issues to be aware of. National rules passed by the Federal Aviation Administration govern use of drones. These rules require that the operator of drones must be certified in advance. States may have additional rules governing the use of drones. Equipment must also be within legal requirements.

Although the use of drones provides many advantages, contractors must be certain they are operating with the current regulations before beginning to use drones in their business.
