5 Ways Drones Are Transforming Earthworks Projects

Drones have quickly become one of the most versatile tools on the construction site. Whether it's for documentation before pouring concrete, making pre-design processes more efficient, or speeding up data collection for infrastructure projects, drones have become the aerial eye of the jobsite, helping construction professionals work better and more productively. One area that drones have had a big impact is in managing earthworks projects. We've identified 5 key reasons why: It can take hours to walk the jobsite and measure aggregates and stockpiles with traditional workflows, and then it usually takes 1-2 days to process the data and produce the final deliverables. Drones are doing this work in a fraction of the time.
