What do you do when an abandoned tunnel slows down a multi-million pound construction project? How can drone inspections make solving this problem easier?

James Arnott, Managing Director of the Inspection team at Plowman Craven, explains how they use the Elios 3 drone as part of their efforts to survey and digitize complex infrastructure, from train depots to construction projects. Their use of the drone to gather visual and LiDAR data - including for Scan to BIM - has ensured the safety of their team while delivinering high quality results.

The Elios 3 is the ultimate confined space drone and ready to deploy for facility and building management assignments, delivering 4K videos and centimeter-accurate LiDAR scans simultaneously.
