Abu Dhabi: Drones are now being used to conduct engineering inspections of construction sites in the capital, the Abu Dhabi City Municipality announced in a statement sent on Tuesday.
The drones are fitted with cameras and are used to remotely monitor and inspect construction sites in this trial phase of the municipality’s initiative. The use of the drones has already reduced the time needed to conduct inspections, and has made the task more convenient for engineers, the statement added.

“Following the completion of the trial run, the municipality is keen to widen the scope and use of this technology to all projects within the domain of the municipality. It will hold training courses for qualifying engineers in the use of drones before expanding the use of the technology,” said Mohammad Basaleeb, director of building permits at the Municipality.
