By |December 17th, 2018|Categories: General |Tags: |Comments Off on Drones and Construction Projects

Drones use in Construction ProjectsIn a recent study in the US, one of the biggest potential areas where drones are predicted to be deployed is in the construction industry and there’s no reason to think that the UK market will operate any differently.From Survey to ConstructionBefore any project starts, a land survey is an essential first step.

However, when carrying out essential training for operations, military aircraft [...]
