In a significant leap forward for construction technology, Walbec Group is leveraging advanced drone systems and RTK (Real Time Kinematic) capabilities to transform infrastructure project planning and execution.
The integration of drone technology has revolutionized our approach to material volume calculations and site planning. Our teams have moved beyond traditional measuring wheels and GPS to adopt RTK-capable drones, which provide unprecedented accuracy in positioning and measurements—all without requiring ground control.
In a recent video, Peter (GIS Analyst) and Adam (Mine Planner) demonstrate how this technological advancement serves multiple crucial functions. “These tools enable us to create detailed 3D models of sites, helping our mine planners and site managers make more informed decisions with greater efficiency,” Peter explains.
The impact extends beyond measurement and planning.
This technology has transformed our approach to mine planning and land management, enabling our teams to better understand properties, plan aggregate extraction, and ensure proper land restoration. The system has also strengthened our relationships with landowners through clear, visual communication about current and future operations.
The quality, timeliness, and accessibility of data from our drone systems have proven invaluable in adapting to rapid industry changes. This investment in cutting-edge technology reflects Walbec’s commitment to delivering innovative infrastructure solutions while maintaining environmental responsibility and stakeholder engagement.
