We are proud to be the holder of the Remote Operators Certificate (ReOC) for drones.

Five years ago it was unheard of to see a drone flying over a jobsite. Now our jobsites are regularly using drones as tools to perform tasks faster, safer and more cost-effectively than before.

There are countless potential applications for drones in our business. Currently we use drones for:

• Aerial photography
• Aerial videography
• Water monitoring
• Aerial mapping by photogrammetry

Key benefits

• Readily available
• High quality, high resolution images
• Cheaper than conventional aerial photography with a plane or helicopter
• Low manpower and plant requirements
• Able to access tight places and get closer to the ground
