Often, drones are used when a company needs to inspect the condition of a larger asset. Since drones are quite mobile and can get up high to collect visual data, they\u2019re perfect for times when companies want to complete inspections quickly and reduce the need to put inspectors in dangerous conditions to inspect an asset\u2019s hard-to-reach areas.<\/p>\n                            <\/div>\n                        <\/div>\n                                                                                <div class=\"col-lg-4 columns\">\n                                                        <div class=\"js-animated-content animated-content\">\n                                <p>In the past, for example, inspectors would have to climb up scaffolding inside of a boiler to inspect a weld or go several stories up a tower to inspect a guy-wire. Actions like these put the inspector in harm\u2019s way and could lead to injuries. Now, inspectors can fly drones remotely to conduct the inspections safely on the ground through a monitor and a drone\u2019s camera.<\/p>\n<p>One of the main types of inspection employed at workplaces is referred to as a visual inspection. In a visual drone inspection, the inspector uses a drone to search for potential maintenance issues. The drones will fly above and around an asset to let the inspectors carefully look at all of the relevant areas that need to be maintained.<\/p>\n                            <\/div>\n                        <\/div>\n                                                                                <div class=\"col-lg-4 columns\">\n                                                        <div class=\"js-animated-content animated-content\">\n                                <p>Besides a visual drone inspection, a drone can help facilitate other types of inspections. Several kinds of sensors can be installed on a drone to conduct different inspections that require more than just a visual check. For instance, some companies use thermal cameras to see where heat is escaping from a building to help guide their maintenance efforts as well as to identify roof leaks.<\/p>\n                            <\/div>\n                        <\/div>\n                                                                    <\/div>\n\n            <\/div>\n<\/section>\n<!-- End Block: acf\/wysiwyg -->\n\n<!-- Start Block: acf\/innerpage-promotion-blocks -->\n\n<section class=\"cta-right-image-text\">\n    <div class=\"cta-right-image-text__wrap\">\n        <div class=\"cta-right-image-text__text\">\n            <div class=\"cta-right-image-text__text__wrap js-animated-content animated-content\">\n                <h2>Do you need a safety inspection or on-site construction monitoring?<\/h2>\n<p><a class=\"btn btn-primary\" href=\"https:\/\/www.trccompanies.com\/contact-us\/\">CONTACT THE EXPERTS AT TRC TODAY<\/a><\/p>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"cta-right-image-text__image\">\n            <img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1536\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trccompanies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/c07f293f-female-engineers-overseeing-construction-site-1263787664-1440x960-1.webp\" class=\"object-fit\" alt=\"c07f293f-female-engineers-overseeing-construction-site-1263787664-1440x960-1\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.trccompanies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/c07f293f-female-engineers-overseeing-construction-site-1263787664-1440x960-1.webp 1536w, https:\/\/www.trccompanies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/c07f293f-female-engineers-overseeing-construction-site-1263787664-1440x960-1-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.trccompanies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/c07f293f-female-engineers-overseeing-construction-site-1263787664-1440x960-1-1024x683.webp 1024w, https:\/\/www.trccompanies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/c07f293f-female-engineers-overseeing-construction-site-1263787664-1440x960-1-768x512.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.trccompanies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/c07f293f-female-engineers-overseeing-construction-site-1263787664-1440x960-1-900x600.webp 900w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1536px) 100vw, 1536px\" \/>            <span class=\"top\"><\/span>\n            <span class=\"bottom\"><\/span>\n            <span class=\"left\"><\/span>\n            <span class=\"right\"><\/span>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n<!-- End Block: acf\/innerpage-promotion-blocks -->\n\n<!-- Start Block: acf\/innerpage-accordion -->\n<section class=\"fx-accordion js-accordion section-margins\">\n    <div class=\"container-fluid\">\n        <div class=\"fx-accordion-flex\">\n                        <div class=\"fx-accordion-top-content js-animated-content animated-content\">\n                <div class=\"fx-accordion-top-content__inner\">\n                    <h2>The Drone Inspection Technique<\/h2>\n<p>Whatever kind of inspection you\u2019re completing, you should go into your project with an idea of how it will proceed.

Improved Speed<\/h3>\n<p>Drones are prized for their ability to speed up time-consuming tasks that take staff away from other jobs. By speeding up inspections and other tasks, drone services allow companies to get more done in the workday and let them take on more projects or give greater attention to other areas that have been neglected.<\/p>\n<p>For example, using drones for inspections can greatly speed up the inspection process, especially in areas where the inspection needs to cover a lot of ground and forces the inspector to navigate difficult spaces. A drone can quickly fly across a property, getting a complete picture of every part of the area or assets that the inspector needs to evaluate. The drone pilots can complete their inspection faster as a result, and your company can deploy teams to deal with potential issues before they become a real problem.<\/p>\n<h3>2. Clear and Useful Data<\/h3>\n<p>Drones can take pictures, record videos and be outfitted with other sensors, making them perfect data gatherers. These drones can assist users by getting the lay of the land and identifying crucial points of interest that are relevant to a project. This sort of data is perfect for projects that need to meet strict regulations and specifications, as it lets them get ahead of potential challenges.<\/p>\n<p>Besides helping companies react to immediate challenges, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trccompanies.com\/services\/engineering\/geo-environmental-engineering\/cad-design-services\/\">drone inspections<\/a> can help generate a long visual paper trail. Inspectors can reference data from previous inspections and compare it to the most recent data to estimate when a problem first started. Instead of relying on an inspector\u2019s memory, companies will have a vast database of footage to rely on.<\/p>\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/section>\n<!-- End Block: acf\/innerpage-half-text-half-image -->\n\n<!-- Start Block: acf\/innerpage-half-text-half-image -->\n\n\n<section class=\"half-and-half flex-row section-padding image-block-right flex-opposite bg-white text-column-one image-size-cover\">\n    <div class=\"half-and-half-image\">\n        <div class=\"half-and-half-image__wrap\">\n                                                <img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trccompanies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/GettyImages-1368780536-1024x683.jpg\" class=\"object-fit\" alt=\"GettyImages-1368780536\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.trccompanies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/GettyImages-1368780536-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.trccompanies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/GettyImages-1368780536-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.trccompanies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/GettyImages-1368780536-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.trccompanies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/GettyImages-1368780536-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.trccompanies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/GettyImages-1368780536-899x600.jpg 899w, https:\/\/www.trccompanies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/GettyImages-1368780536.jpg 1800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>                                    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    \n    <div class=\"half-and-half-text\">\n        <div class=\"half-and-half-text__wrapper js-animated-content animated-content\">\n                                        <h3>3. Increase Safety<\/h3>\n<p>Safety is crucial for any company, and using drones is an excellent way to facilitate that safety. As mentioned in the previous section, drones offer safety benefits for the planning, monitoring, inspecting and material transporting processes of a company. No longer will you have to send staff up the side of a skyscraper, putting them in harm\u2019s way, to conduct routine inspections. Instead, a trained pilot can control the drone remotely and capture all of the needed information in comfort and safety.<\/p>\n<h3>4. Keeps Costs Down<\/h3>\n<p>Drone inspection costs are usually lower than other inspection solutions. Having inspectors manually inspect assets can be very time-consuming, which costs you more money due to the lengthy inspection process. Using drones allows inspectors to complete their inspection faster, so you aren\u2019t paying for as much of their time.<\/p>\n<p>Not using drones can also force your organization to spend money on costly equipment that helps your inspectors access areas that are hard to reach. Additionally, if you need to conduct aerial inspections, a drone inspection is going to be much less expensive than other aerial options like planes and helicopters.<\/p>\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/section>\n<!-- End Block: acf\/innerpage-half-text-half-image -->\n\n<!-- Start Block: acf\/wysiwyg -->\n\n<section class=\"wysiwyg section-padding bg-white-fog\">\n    <div class=\"container-fluid\">\n                    <div class=\"wysiwyg__wrapper\">\n        \n        <div class=\"row\">\n                        <div class=\"col-lg-12\">\n                                                                                \n                                                <\/div>\n\n                            <div class=\"col-lg-12 js-animated-content animated-content\">\n                    <h2>Operating Drones Legally During Inspections<\/h2>\n<p>Though drones can be incredibly helpful in inspections and greatly increase safety, companies should make sure that users operate their drones legally. Improperly trained drone users can crash, damage the environment and even harm workers. As such, there are Occupational Safety and Health Administration <a href=\"https:\/\/www.osha.gov\/dep\/memos\/use-of-unmanned-aircraft-systems-inspection_memo_05182018.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">(OSHA) drone regulations<\/a> and other laws, such as those put forward by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), that pilots must follow to operate a drone legally while performing inspections.<\/p>\n<p>The regulations might change depending on the industry, state and actions taken with the drone. Here are some of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.faa.gov\/uas\/getting_started\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">regulations from the FAA<\/a> that pilots need to follow when operating drones:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Operators <a href=\"https:\/\/www.faa.gov\/uas\/getting_started\/register_drone\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">should register drones<\/a> and label them with the registration number from the FAA.<\/li>\n<li>Operators should always keep drones in their line of sight and should fly at or below 400 feet.<\/li>\n<li>Operators should not fly near airports or other aircraft.<\/li>\n<li>Operators should never fly over large groups of people.<\/li>\n<li>Operators should never fly a drone under the influence of drugs or alcohol.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n                <\/div>\n                                <\/div>\n\n                    <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n<\/section>\n<!-- End Block: acf\/wysiwyg -->\n\n<!-- Start Block: acf\/wysiwyg -->\n\n<section class=\"wysiwyg section-padding bg-white\">\n    <div class=\"container-fluid\">\n                    <div class=\"wysiwyg__wrapper\">\n        \n        <div class=\"row\">\n                        <div class=\"col-lg-12\">\n                                                                                \n                                                <\/div>\n\n                            <div class=\"col-lg-12 js-animated-content animated-content\">\n                    <h2>The Future of Drone Technology<\/h2>\n<p>Drones are only going to continue to improve, providing even more services while becoming safer and easier to operate. One way drones could impact the construction industry is by adding new X-ray tech that helps them craft high-resolution 3D maps of objects through the use of Wi-Fi. This new feature could help monitor dangerous structures that could harm workers or the general public. It can also be used to create models of areas hidden behind walls or other barriers to give workers greater information.<\/p>\n<p>More technological developments for drones will assist users and help workers do their jobs safely and more efficiently. As drones continue to receive more attention and use, they will also continue to become safer. With more information available, more guidelines will regulate the safe use of drones.<\/p>\n                <\/div>\n                                <\/div>\n\n                    <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n<\/section>\n<!-- End Block: acf\/wysiwyg -->\n\n<!-- Start Block: acf\/innerpage-cta-bar -->\n<section class=\"global-cta innerpage-cta default\">\n    <div class=\"container-fluid\">\n        <div class=\"global-cta-wrapper  \">\n                                            <h2>S&rsquo;adapter au <br>changement<\/h2>\n                                <div class=\"global-cta-image\">\n                    <svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" xmlns:xlink=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1999\/xlink\" width=\"316.566\" height=\"369\" viewBox=\"0 0 316.566 369\">\n                        <defs>\n                            <pattern id=\"pattern\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" viewBox=\"117.006 0 316.566 369\">\n                                <image preserveAspectRatio=\"xMidYMid slice\" width=\"655.35\" height=\"369\" href=\"https:\/\/www.trccompanies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/trc-drone-safety-inspections.jpg\"><\/image>\n                            <\/pattern>\n                        <\/defs>\n                        <path id=\"Union_8\" data-name=\"Union 8\" d=\"M72.087,369,206.869,190.294h109.7L182.891,369ZM0,195.818H68.4l28.66,44.507L68.4,286.43Zm0-10.747L68.4,94.466l28.66,46.1L68.4,185.071Zm205.769-6.365L72.087,0h109.7L316.566,178.706Z\" fill=\"url(#pattern)\"\/>\n                    <\/svg>\n                <\/div>\n                <div class=\"global-cta-content\">\n                    <p>Collaborez avec les praticiens test\u00e9s de TRC<\/p>\n                    <p>\n                        <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trccompanies.com\/contact-us\/\" title=\"Contact Us\" class=\"btn btn-primary\" >Contact Us<\/a>                    <\/p>\n                <\/div>\n                        \n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n<!-- End Block: acf\/innerpage-cta-bar -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Drones offer all new opportunities for companies that want to increase the comprehensiveness of safety inspections.
