"How accurate is drone data?" is one of the most common questions we hear. The honest answer is: it depends. This article explains what it depends on, so you can ask the right questions before a flight instead of after. Relative vs. absolute accuracy These two terms get mixed up constantly, and the difference matters on your drawings. Relative accuracy is how well things in the map line up with each other. It is what you need to measure distances, areas and volumes within a s

An inclinometer tells you a great deal about one point on a slope. But a slope is not one point. Movement can start between instruments, along a toe that nobody is watching, or in a corner of the site that only shows trouble after a wet winter. Drone-based slope stability monitoring fills that gap. It gives engineers a repeatable, measurable picture of the entire surface, captured on a schedule, so change shows up as data instead of as a surprise. How drone slope monitoring w

We are not trying to sell a drone service. We are working toward man-entry avoidance. Inspecting a drilled foundation shaft, which can be roughly 30 inches wide and 50 feet deep, has traditionally meant lowering a person into it on a winch. That is a confined-space entry, with all the permits, rescue planning and risk that come with it. If a camera can go down instead of a person, everyone goes home safer. This article shares where that work stands, including the hard parts.
