From Minneapolis and St. Paul to Rochester and Duluth, construction in the North Star State is on the upswing and Minnesota construction drones are helping to make that happen. Also called Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), drones help control construction costs, increase project monitoring efficiency, and enable a level of precise data collection previously cost prohibitive. Droners is passionate about providing a user-friendly interface between professional commercial drone pilots and engineers and builders. While construction drone services are a fairly young industry, they are fast becoming seen as playing a vital role.

Here are just a few examples of how UAVs are changing the face of construction in the North Star State.

• The surveying process for a major construction project is typically time-consuming and costly. Aerial construction surveying provides a cost-effective alternative that offers a new level of precision with fast-flying grids turned to 3-D renders that leapfrog over the competition. Aerial construction surveying has been called Google Earth on steroids.


• Inspections of bridges and highway systems has historically been tedious, labor intensive and sometimes dangerous, yielding subjective data. Minnesota is moving toward using drones for structural inspections with a high degree of precision, risk reduction, and measurably defined data collection. This translates directly to cost savings.


• Monitoring multiple construction projects typically involves continually moving between sites. With the advent of UAV construction monitoring, you delegate that monitoring to a vehicle that never gets tired, and that delivers precise data no matter if you're next door or halfway around the world.


• With construction drones capability of providing both photographs and video data, you increase your capacity to quickly correct errors, adjust construction plans, and address safety issues.
