SITECH and Collins Earthworks recently hosted an event to highlight the benefits of drone technology for site mapping and data analytics.
Held at Collins Earthworks’ Ball Eye Quarry in Matlock, Derbyshire, the Fly Day showcased the capabilities of the Trimble Stratus platform, including ‘improved project accuracy, greater productivity and integration of workflows’ as some of the ways customers can benefit from the cloud-based software system.
Attendees were treated to demonstrations and talks including a discussion on drone flight regulations by the Drone Pilot Academy and a live-flight demonstration by SITECH partners Propeller.
Danielle Barker, strategic account manager at SITECH UK & Ireland, said, “As industries across the country continue to evolve it is vital that companies look to utilise technology to enhance their operations and combat challenges. The Fly Day event was about demonstrating the depth of information available to customers through the partnership between Propeller and SITECH.
“We were fortunate to partner with Collins Earthworks Ltd which allowed us to perform a drone site survey of Ball Eye Quarry. This gave visitors a real insight into the features of Trimble Stratus, such as volume calculations, drainage channel monitoring and a visual timeline of site conditions for enhancing monitoring.”
The SITECH Fly Day is the first of these events this year, with more to be confirmed.
