“[During the 昀氀oods] they were able to engineer replacement of the
bridges using drones and 3D drawings,” says Kelly Scott, president
of the BCRB. “What would have taken six months of engineering they
were doing in six days.”
One of the BCRB members that have found drones to o昀昀er some
great advantages is Enviro-Ex Contracting in Prince George. Headquartered in B.C.’s Northern Interior, the contractor specializes in
heavy civil, environmental, and structural construction projects,
servicing the oil and gas, mining, forestry, transportation, and marine
sectors with critical infrastructure and environmentally sustainable
solutions across Western Canada.
“The biggest advantages we have from them is photographs,” says
William Hoban, president of Enviro-Ex Contracting. “We’re able to
produce 3D drone 昀氀ights that create a detailed meshed image of the
terrain and any issues on the project site itself. We’re able to back that
up with hundreds of thousands of photos when the drone 昀氀ies, and
that has real tangible bene昀椀ts.”
When issues arise on a construction site, whether it’s a safety
issue, a quality issue or a naturally occurring issue, these images are
extremely helpful to have on hand.
“You’re able to prove and showcase the work itself, and the issue
that’s present. That’s been a huge bene昀椀t,” Hoban says. “A lot of times,
owners and people that are managing projects are not on the project
site. They may see one photo that may look out of place or hear of an
issue, but they don’t understand why the issue occurred or what caused
the issue, and the more photos and ability to show them, the better.”
All Roads Construction employed four pavers paving an echelon on Highway 1, all going down
the road, side-by-side, meaning they could pave almost 21-meters-wide with no joints.
