EDC News – Unmanned Aerial Systems

Posted April 9, 2020 & filed under Every Day Counts Initiative.

States are using Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) to enhance their program and project delivery to great success.

The West Virginia Division of Highways (WVDOH) has completed over 500 flight missions including mapping, reconnaissance, and construction inspection. WVDOH currently is piloting the use of UAS on three large construction projects. On the first project—a four lane divided highway on a new alignment— WVDOH is using UAS on a regular flight schedule for material estimation. Often, access to large construction sites is limited and dangerous due to earth moving techniques and equipment. The UAS data-gathering flights can be performed in a fraction of the time it would take a field survey crew. In most cases, the UAS are only in flight for 30 minutes or less and can be launched and viewed from a secure and safe location. (more…)
