How Are Drones Used for Mining?

Using drones for mining is safer, faster and more effective than sending out inspectors or using manned aircraft for inspections. Droneworxs has been offering drone services to the mining industry for years and our experience has led to being one of the most in demand companies for aerial mapping. Drone Surveying & Mapping As we said above, drones are much more cost effective, safer and faster when it comes to mining. There is no need to hire an expensive manned aircraft, or rely on a satellite which is also costly. Our drones capture high resolution images that, unlike satellites, can get closer to the ground and are unaffected by cloud. Our typical map resolution is 3cm per pixel – that is, detailed enough to see golfball and matchbox sized objects, though we can provide a higher resolution if you need it. Unlike traditional mapping methods which put lives at risk and interrupt operations, UAVs cause no disruption and remove the safety risks. With a drone there is no area that is off limits or unsafe. Our experienced pilots control everything remotely, alongside you, so you can be sure that you get all the information you need. We can provide complete […]

Why Use a Drone Roof Inspection?

A roof is one of the largest and most important features of a property, yet it is often taken for granted and essentially, left to its own devices for years unless it becomes apparent that there’s a problem. The main reason for this is that roofs are often difficult and dangerous to access, so unless there’s a leak or some other obvious issue you would have no reason to inspect your roof at all. Even when there is a reason to inspect your roof, it’s not usually an easy task and in many cases requires a professional which is costly and let’s face it, inconvenient. How Drones Make Inspecting Roofs Easy Drones, however, make inspecting a roof easy. There’s no need to step foot on the roof yourself, so it’s safe – and the condition or material of your roof won’t affect how easy it is to inspect. In the event of damage to your roof, a drone inspection will allow you to see exactly what’s happened and make claiming on your insurance much less hassle. The same goes for getting any roofing work done: the contractor will be able to get a good close-up look and everything they need […]
