Abstract(s)
This book presents a study on the effectiveness of using drones in the technical inspection of building envelope, as an excellent alternative to more expensive and heavier conventional means.
A comprehensive literature review is firstly focused on the drone technology, analysing afterwards the applications in the Construction Industry (CI), with emphasis in the scope of building envelope inspections.
Field tests with drones were also performed and the resulting data was treated in order to obtain a facade pathologies diagnosis with a highest degree of accuracy.
It has been checked that the use of drones is effectively a promising alternative methodology to support the technical inspection and diagnosis of building envelope pathologies, particularly when displaying a multirotor configuration, loading high-definition (HD) cameras, for both stills photography and video.
This view can offer valuable input to enable a greater awareness of the use of drones, particularly in hard-to-reach locations, to the detriment of conventional means.
This methodology can bring great benefits, particularly from an environmental impact point of view, since the resources used are much lower. Furthermore, a very reliable diagnosis can be achievable more quickly, and at a much lower cost.
