Drone based survey and reality capture of road infrastructure

With over 900,000km of roads to manage in Australia, reality capture and digital engineering is becoming integral in the maintenance of road infrastructure and surrounding landscapes. Leveraging drone technology, reality capture and digital engineering, Diospatial is innovating the way infrastructure is monitored, assessed and managed. Diospatial’s team has industry leading experience working to deliver reality capture and spatial projects to Transport for NSW (formerly Roads and Maritime Services), VicRoads, and Department of Transport and Main Roads.

This is enabling asset managers to:

  • Reduce the reliance on road occupancy and traffic control, therefore reducing disruption to road users and reducing people on site
  • Access elevated difficult to reach locations in a safe manner
  • Capture the real world, enabling engineers to replace assumptions with facts for better estimating, programming and delivering, ultimately improving project costs and timelines
  • Carry out remote inspections, enabling stakeholder collaboration off-site
  • Leverage single data captures to be used for multiple purposes, achieving economies of scale
