The best decisions require the best data. The use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs)—more commonly known as drones—is becoming commonplace in the commercial pavement industry. While a drone is designed to collect a large amount of data, the value lies in how that data is interpreted and used.
When you choose Benchmark’s UAV drone services, you’ll work with an experienced team who know how to not only pilot a drone, but most importantly, know what to look for and capture in flight. That technical expertise, coupled with our traditional “boots on the ground” approach results in more detailed data and improved accuracy, so you’re better able to make informed decisions about your pavement assets.
An integral part of the big picture. A proactive, comprehensive approach is imperative in pavement asset management. Data collected via a Benchmark UAV is added to a client’s SITEMAN® database, where it’s easily accessible via a secure internet connection.
UAV Drone Services
- Orthomosaic. A series of photographs are taken, which are then processed to create one single image which is uniform in scale. This image can then be used to create highly accurate drawings of your site.
- Visual/Thermal. By taking photos in both the visual and infrared light spectrum the images can help identify defects. By conducting infrared moisture scans of your pavement areas with a UAV, highly accurate measurements can be obtained to assist you in budgeting and planning repairs and replacements.
- Remote inspection. There are times when an in-person inspection is not possible due to safety or inability to access. When these situations arise, a UAV inspection of your pavement area may be the next best option. High-resolution orthomosaics and 200x telephoto cameras allow for a detailed visual inspection.
- Additional drone services. While Benchmark remains committed to providing top-tier roof and pavement consulting, we can provide additional imaging services, including:
- Solar Panel Thermal Inspections
- Lighting Inspections
- Site Photos
