As 2023 gets underway, the drone industry is expected to have a significant impact on the Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) industry in the UK in 2023.
The use of drones in construction has already demonstrated the potential for increased safety, efficiency, and cost savings. This makes an attractive option for construction and engineering companies. Drones equipped with cameras and LiDAR can be used for aerial surveys and inspections. Thus reducing the need for operatives to access hazardous areas, and enabling the identification of potential issues before they become a problem.
Drones can also be used to accurately survey and map construction sites. Providing real-time data for improved project planning and management. We’ve seen a huge uptake of drone surveys on large civil engineering projects in the U.K. With construction teams relying more and more on the use of drone data, for earthworks surveys, coordination with trades across site, as built data and to improve site logistics.
The UK government has recognised the potential of the drone industry. It has put in place regulations and guidelines to ensure the safe and effective use of drones in this sector. This has created a favourable environment for investment and innovation in the drone industry, which is expected to bring further advancements and cost savings to the AEC industry. The UK’s strong aerospace industry and research and development sector, is also expected to lead the way in the development of new drone technologies.
In conclusion, the drone industry is poised to play a crucial role in the AEC industry in the UK in 2023, offering increased safety, efficiency, and cost savings. With the support of the government and the country’s strong aerospace industry, the UK is well-positioned to lead the way in the adoption and development of drone technology.
