At SYSTRA Canada, the drone is an essential tool for territory analysis, mapping, and infrastructure inspection.  <\/h4>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n

Digitizing the physical world using drones and other technologies can help to improve safety, efficiency, and cost effectiveness by providing detailed data to support decision making and by reducing the need for human inspections.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

A drone improves access to hard-to-reach areas, provides detailed data to support decision making, planning, or management of construction projects, allows for better understanding and management of physical assets and infrastructure, and can support the creation of smart cities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Our professionals use specialized software to quickly extract data in 2D or 3D, thus allowing better management of resources and facilitating decision-making.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

inspection<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Drones equipped with cameras and sensors can be used to inspect tracks, bridges, tunnels, and other infrastructure for signs of wear and tear, damage, and other issues. This can help to identify potential problems before they lead to disruptions or failures.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

SITE surveying<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Drones can be used to survey railway corridors, rights-of-way, and other areas to create detailed maps and 3D models. This information can be used to plan new railway lines, identify potential obstacles, and optimize operations.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

safety<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Drones can be used to monitor railway operations and ensure that they are being conducted safely. For example, drones equipped with thermal cameras can detect heat sources that may indicate a problem with a train or track.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n

maintenance<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Drones can be used to inspect railway equipment such as signals and switching systems, and to perform maintenance tasks such as painting and cleaning.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

EMERGENCY RESPONSE<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Drones can be used in emergency situations such as accidents and natural disasters to assess the damage and guide response teams to the affected areas.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

DRONES IN CONSTRUCTION<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Inspection: <\/strong>Drones can be used to inspect buildings, bridges, and other structures under construction, during the maintenance and after construction to check for any defects, wear and tear, and damage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Site Surveying:<\/strong><\/strong> Drones equipped with cameras, sensors, and LiDAR can be used to create detailed maps, 3D models, and digital elevation models of construction sites. This information can be used to plan and design projects, identify potential obstacles, and monitor progress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Progress Monitoring:<\/strong> <\/strong>Drones can be used to take aerial photographs and videos of construction sites, providing a visual record of progress, and enabling the contractor and client to monitor the work remotely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Stockpile Management: <\/strong><\/strong>Drones equipped with sensors can be used to measure the volume of materials such as soil, gravel, and aggregate on a construction site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
