Drone Structural Inspection: The Future of Building Inspection in Southern California
As urbanization grows, so does the demand for building inspections to ensure public safety. In the past, building inspections have been conducted manually, requiring inspectors to repel down the sides of buildings, posing significant risks to their safety. However, with the emergence of drone technology, building inspections have become safer, faster, and more cost-effective.
RadFlight, a Southern California-based drone company, has been at the forefront of this technology, using drones to perform efficient and thorough building inspections. Here are some of the most compelling advantages of using drones for building inspections.
Speed
An experienced drone pilot can scan the exterior of a building in a fraction of the time it would take for a manual inspection. This efficiency allows inspectors to complete more assignments, resulting in more thorough inspections.
Cost
Drone inspections are much less expensive than manual inspections since they require less time and resources. Additionally, drones allow for aerial photography that was previously cost-prohibitive, providing building owners and managers with a more comprehensive view of their properties.
Safety
Manual inspections pose significant risks to the safety of inspectors, including falling, rope equipment failures, and other hazards. Drones eliminate these risks, providing a safer way to inspect buildings.
Liability
Traditional building inspections pose substantial liability risks to inspectors and those who hire them. With drones, potential liabilities are minimized, reducing the cost of insurance and indemnification.
Maneuverability
Drones can easily maneuver around complex building exteriors that are difficult to inspect manually. They can hover over specific areas and access hard-to-reach areas, providing a more comprehensive view of the building's exterior.
Visual Clarity
Drone cameras provide high-resolution images that reveal flaws and damage that the human eye may miss. Thermal cameras can detect heat differentials, showing leaks and other potential problems.
Share-ability
Digital video and images captured by drones are easily shareable among stakeholders, providing everyone with a clear view of any issues that need to be addressed.
