CEA - Essential Drone Use in the Construction Industry

CEA - Essential Drone Use in the Construction Industry

Technology is changing everything, and believe me, drones are already changing how you do your work on the job site as a civil engineer — and you’ll have to adapt! 👷 So in this episode, Mark and I chat about how we’re using drones in the utility and construction arenas. From project design to construction to inspection to post-construction promotion with some cool images for advertising, drones can help you do it all…and a lot more efficiently! 😲


Tune in to Learn:

  • Top two drones being used in civil engineering (+ the favorite one…and why)

  • The uses of drones in the construction industry, from project design to post-completion

  • How drones are being used in the utility world for visualization and inspection tasks

  • How the newer drones differ from older versions and make controlling a lot easier

  • Guidelines to set up, execute, and manage drone programs at your workplace

  • The challenges that come with the mass adoption of drones

  • How do you become a drone pilot? (Hint: it's not simply buying and using one!)
