Drones and Virtual Reality
SOPSEC is committed to digitalization as a driver of efficiency and sustainability in the AEC industry and, as such, in a global context of constant technological evolution, SOPSEC presents new technical drone-based services, fully integrated into the company’s working methodology, for construction monitoring, technical inspections, surveying and support to the development of engineering projects.
With cutting-edge technology and certified operators, SOPSEC aims to provide accurate data that supports decision-making, reduces risks, and enhances the reliability and efficiency of each project, at any stage of a structure’s lifecycle.
Technical Inspections
Drone technical inspection is a procedure for verifying, evaluating, and diagnosing the condition of a structure, performed with unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), without direct contact with the inspected element.
Examples of application:
- Building roofs;
- Building facades;
- Infrastructures;
- Viaducts;
- Bridges;
- Roads.
Inspections are conducted using an RGB camera, within the visible spectrum:
Aerial Recordings
Aerial Recording is a procedure for capturing aerial images and videos, aimed at documenting specific sites or elements necessary to support decision-making.
Examples of application:
- Land plots;
- Surrounding areas;
- Infrastructures;
- Site layouts;
Aerial Surveying
Aerial surveying is a procedure for acquiring spatial data through aerial imagery to produce accurate and georeferenced metric information, enabling the generation of orthomaps, contour lines, and digital surface and terrain models.
Examples of application:
- Topographic surveys;
- Area and volume measurements.
Three-Dimensional Reconstruction
Three-dimensional reconstruction with drones is a procedure for the digital 3D representation of surfaces and the envelope of a building, based on data obtained from aerial surveys.
Examples of application:
- New buildings;
- Buildings for renovation;
- Historical buildings;
- Works of art.
Construction Monitoring
Construction monitoring with drones is a procedure for periodic tracking of a construction project to acquire visual and metric data.
Examples of application:
- Comparison of as-designed vs. as-built conditions in 2D and 3D;
- Support for safety management;
- Support for construction site management;
- Support for demolition works.
Marketing
Marketing with drones is a procedure for capturing aerial images and videos with significant commercial impact, aimed at promoting projects and construction works.
Examples of application:
- Company portfolios;
- Promotion of facilities and real estate.
