In construction business, all construction activities are being constructed on or under a geographical location. All engineering and construction professionals need reliable geographic data for planning, design, execution, as-built, operation and maintenance purposes. Acquisition of such geospatial data requires proper technology and effective methodology. Recent developments have seen Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) or drones as one of the go-to tool for geospatial data acquisition platform as it captures photos with 3X times faster than conventional survey methods. Combining with photogrammetry techniques, all 2D and 3D features of the project site can be collected and measured accurately. With the usage of well-established Dr. Y. Pari, ground control points, accuracy can be improved Head, GeoSpatial Technologies, L&T Construction proportionally in centimetre level. This article aims to prove how drones can effectively be used for topographic survey in engineering and construction industry and thereby making it one among a promising tool for geospatial data acquisition. Keywords: Drone, Photogrammetry, Topographic survey, GeoSpatial, GIS ll project design requires a topographic In this process, instruments such as ‘Total Station’ survey in order to know the characteristics (Evolved from Theodolite) are widely used. In India, this is the dominant form of surveying. In principle, of the terrain to properly design the project. A total station works in point by point based data Many sensitive decisions, proposed alignment, earth collection and very labour intensive. Taking an works, environmental preservation, building green example of a typical road, a section of 100 Km will certifications etc., highly depends on the take up to 2 months of surveying and this will end in topographical data. Topographic Survey includes giving discrete points at an interval of 50 m. Hence, collection of data about the natural and man-made the resultant topographical model is not continuous features of the land, as well as its elevations. It is 'a and points in between are interpolated. As the survey includes high manual intervention, the routine process for surveyors, engineers, and resultant data is error prone and oversight is required construction professionals. for every work. e h DFCCIL JOURNAL T 6 JUNE 2019 Geospatial technologies offer multiple 3D Scanning 2. PROJECT AREA solutions which scans the geography of the project CTP 3R is a prestigious project for L&T’s site with the different platforms. Recent Transportation and Infrastructure IC. The project technological advancement has seen the scope includes laying railway track for 343 running development of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) Km. This created needs to have deep understanding or Drones as one of the geospatial platform from about the existing topo features and terrain which aerial photos over large scales at high spatial elevation. Contour maps and spot levels are essential and temporal resolution is captured. These photos data for engineering design purposes. For effective are used to generate digital terrain models and understanding, unmanned aerial vehicle platform orthophotos from which topo features can be was chosen for 10 km of project stretch. extracted. Hence, drones are fast becoming the end user’s go-to tool for aerial data capture. 3. METHODOLOGY a. Equipment Used for Topographic Survey The extent of data collected from drone is proving to be a game changer with respect to speed of data • DJI Phantom 4 Pro UAV was used to capture delivery, cost of data capture and the products that aerial images of the project site. It carries a can be created or derived from the captured data. camera with a 1’’ CMOS 20M Megapixel Data, possibly for the first time, is now accessible to sensor and a modified camera lens with a the industry at a more frequent and cost effective focal distance of 30 mm.
