Drones In Construction – Not Just Promises And Theory
For several years now the potential benefits of drones in construction have been discussed at length.
A common factor has been that these discuss "potential" rather than projects that have adopted the new technology and gained positive results. Now we are seeing real benefits being delivered in live projects.
Transport for Greater Manchester (TfGM) is actively using drones on its Metrolink construction project.
Drone Tech Aerospace (DTA) in partnership with video production company White Hart Multimedia has recently supplied the third periodic update to the drone filming of progress on the Transport for Greater Manchester construction project for the Metrolink Trafford Park Line (TPL) extension.
PR and construction site monitoring videos such as this have grown over the past three years to be a mainstream drone service supplied by DTA throughout the UK.
The latest drone video update on construction progress captured a major milestone in work on the Bury line for the Metrolink Trafford Park Line (TPL) extension – completion of new sidings and overhead lines at Crumpsall.
Drone video of construction progress filmed for contractors MPT by DTA and White Hart Multimedia, gives clear aerial views of the works, enabling wider sharing of the status of progress both across participants in the construction works and for PR engagement with all stakeholders and the general public.
Councillor Doreen Dickinson, Vice Chair of the Greater Manchester Transport Committee, is quoted as commenting: "The stop improvement works at Crumpsall are a vital part of the Trafford Park Line extension, so it's great to see it really coming together.
"This drone footage shows the scale of the works at Crumpsall and allows people to see just what a big project is underway and how dramatically different it looks compared to a few months ago."
