we are talking about drones for bridge inspection, an industry which is craving for innovations.

Bridges are required to undergo inspections every two years to make sure they are safe for public use.Using more traditional methods to carry out the inspections means traffic management needs to be put in place to allow inspectors to safely carry out works at height and over water, creating disruption for traffic. The use of drones dramatically reduces potential health and safety risks and costs, in addition removing the need for traffic management measures.

Drones can cut down costs big time! From first data collection to area inspection and even close up images of potentially troubling areas, drones can do it all... and with style!

drones can fly within three feet of the objects, using computerized optics, GPS, to control their movements and avoid collisions with the objects they are inspecting.

Drones can hover close to aging trusses, piers, and bearings, snapping thousands of high-resolution images. Special software then stitches these images into 3D models, which engineers can examine on computers; a single click on a small detail can call up a library of photos stretching back in time-a useful reference for timing a structure's deterioration rate.

Drones can save 66% cost from the traditional methods carried out for inpection of bridges.
