The Project
Keltic was employed for the Mountainview Townhouse Project to utilize the specialty drone services we provide to produce accurate data for material removal.
The Scope
- Volume Calculations
- Cinematic Drone videography for marketing
The Details
- Keltic produced Cinematic Drone videography for marketing of townhouse project
- For this townhouse project Keltic used survey grade drone photogrammetry coupled with conventional survey techniques to produce volumes and lineal meters of rock to be removed for estimation purposes. By utilizing both drone technology and conventional surveying, we were able to capitalize on the strengths of each method to deliver the best results possible. The data collected along with our extensive knowledge of civil construction allowed us to estimate accurate excavation quantities based on buildability rather than theoretical volumes from BIM / plans.
Benefits of Drone Use in Volume Calculation and Rock Estimation
Survey grade drones equipped with high-resolution cameras and advanced photogrammetric technology offer a number of advantages in volume calculations. The most prominent benefit is the efficiency and speed with which data can be collected over large and challenging terrains. Drones can swiftly cover vast areas, capturing high-resolution images that are essential for accurate rock volume and lineal meter estimations.
GPS technology and sensors on the drones aid in geo-referencing the captured images, ensuring spatial accuracy in the resulting models. The data collected by the drones can be processed using specialized software, which utilizes algorithms to create detailed topographic maps and quantify the rock masses effectively.
Use the Strengths of Both Survey Grade Drones and Conventional Surveying
The integration of survey grade drones with conventional survey techniques for rock estimation marks a significant leap forward in the field of surveying. While drones offer unparalleled speed, safety, and precision, conventional methods have their merits, especially in terms of initial costs and reliability. The key lies in finding a balanced approach that leverages the strengths of both methodologies, ensuring the most accurate and efficient rock estimation for various surveying applications.
