How Drones Can Improve Construction Worker Safety

Improving Construction Site Safety with Drones & Other High-Tech Devices
Fortunately, new technologies are now available that can lower the number of serious accidents on construction sites and improve productivity. This represents a crucial step forward since there were 991 construction industry deaths recorded in 2016. Twenty percent (20%) of all workplace fatalities currently occur in the construction industry.
As customers begin using these new products and devices, major research efforts are continuing to improve them. And new, lower prices are making these products much more affordable.

• Aerial footage from drones can greatly help construction site managers create expert mapping while carefully monitoring different aspects of their projects. The information obtained can be compared to current architectural renderings – allowing for a better start to each phase of a project. Likewise, drones can help surveyors complete an entire land survey in a matter of minutes. As projects progress, drones can help construction site managers monitor and evaluate the ongoing usage and location of cranes and other heavy equipment. Changes can be made that will boost productivity and increase worker safety;
• Drones can provide a way to inspect steel connections high atop a bridge or other building. In one case, the drone pilot was able to check on connections that were 72 feet above ground (between a building tower and an attached parking structure). Most construction workers don’t want to climb up to such heights since even the best platforms and harnesses can prove defective (leading to so many of the current annual workplace falls and deaths);

In another case, finished detail work on the outside of a building was checked by a drone. This real-time footage of the completed work made it possible to carefully look at the outer window glazes to be sure the windows were properly sealed so that water couldn’t enter;
• Determine if new buildings offer a good view (at different heights) to potential investors and tenants before a project is completed;
• allowing managers to direct water and other resources to the area in a timely fashion to save lives and put out the fire;
• Provide ongoing visual footage and data that helps building project managers determine if the building is still likely to meet all initial expectations – or if their plans must be modified. New knowledge is often gained while viewing a building as it grows taller. Three-dimensional images of a building captured by a drone can often offer crucial information that even the very best architectural drawings and diagrams cannot fully provide;
• Timely delivered drone data can help managers keep overall project costs within proper bounds. Now that reliable drones can be purchased for as little as $1000, it’s often far more cost-effective to employ drones to capture new project images – as opposed to hiring helicopter pilots and their photography crews to handle this task;
