Drones To Be Deployed In Construction Sites In Johannesburg

South African construction sites may experience a drone hovering above them. Gauteng province's department of infrastructure development has launched a fleet of drones that'll be used to monitor building projects including those in and around Johannesburg. "It is possible for the public sector to be efficient and to be productive in what we do," says Jacob Mamabolo, Head of Provincial Department. The drones would monitor the quality of work and also ensure that the projects stick to their schedules. The unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are just the latest effort by Mamabolo to make his department more tech-savvy and to'leap frog' with opportunities from the'fourth industrial revolution'.
