Drones for High-Rise Building Condition Surveys

High-rise buildings present unique challenges when it comes to condition surveys. Conventional inspections require erecting scaffolding, using cranes, or utilizing costly equipment for accessing hard-to-reach areas. Besides being time-consuming and expensive, these methods can be hazardous for inspectors, putting them at risk of falls or accidents. However, the integration of drone technology can help streamline the inspection process, enhance safety, and provide valuable insights for better decision-making.

Unparalleled Accessibility

Using our drone technology equipped with high-resolution cameras & sensors, we can capture the entirety of the building while the operator stays safely stationed on the ground. These buildings are often located in City Centres and clustered locations where airspace restrictions and on ground challenges are often presented. However, at Vertex our teams have the permissions and expertise to work around any of these challenges whether that is finding suitable take of locations, working around altitude restrictions or any others that present themselves.

Rapid & Efficient Surveys

Time is of the essence in building inspections, especially in urban environments where time constraints and tight schedules are common. Drones accelerate the survey process, providing crucial information on the condition of your assets in very little time. Our pilots can provide complete coverage of a building within a day on site compared to traditional methods which may take weeks or even months. Where tactile inspections or maintenance is needed, the drone survey gives you information of where to target. This efficiency translates into reduced project timelines, cost savings, and minimized disruption to building occupants.

High-Quality Data

Advanced cameras, sensors and payloads mounted on drones capture a range of information. We can utilise drones with high-definition cameras to capture detailed images for visual inspection. All images are geo-referenced to identify exactly where defects and other points of interest are found. We can deploy drones with thermal cameras to identify areas of heat loss or hot spots indicating potential leaks, missing insulation, etc… Our team at Vertex can also create 3D models of the building for precise measurements, planning future works, BIM Modelling and more.
