Nagpur: The State Government has decided to deploy drones not only to prevent disasters, to monitor the progress of bridges, flood areas, map land holding and even high-value projects, but has also been attempted to increase accountability. The new Public Works Department (PWD) policy launched on 1 April, will ensure that both the bridges and post monsoon are inspected, which gives the government a chance to take timely action and stop the disaster.
The purpose of pre-monsoon inspection is to ensure safety and structural integrity, especially in areas that wear and tear with heavy rains. The state has made a case for drones stating that it is “safe, skilled and accurate way” to assess hard-to-wheel places.
Beyond the bridges, the policy extends to the highris (buildings over 18 meters high), where external and roof inspections will be done using drone technology. The move is expected to streamline the assessment of urban infrastructure of aging, reduce risk and cut time and cost.
Does not stop at circular inspections. For large-scale projects of over Rs 100 crore, drone construction would monitor progress, from time to time to ensure transparency and accountability. Additionally, assessment of flood damage during the monsoon is very dangerous to reach the ground teams to rely on landslides, washed-washed bridges, or submerged roads-drones.
The policy also integrates the drone in land -related processes. Topical survey for more than 10 acres of land parcels, land acquisition imaging (for land acquisition) and a land bank of empty government plots will use all drone technology.
To support this ambitious rollout, regional executive engineers are tasked with obtaining necessary permission, while funding will be done from existing budget heads such as repair and survey. The Chief Engineer will organize the approval authority, ensuring smooth implementation.
With the implementation of drones in all these areas, Govt will begin to create a database, which will be considered more accurate and can be updated without risking human life in difficult-to-wheel. The department intends to study this database to refine and expand the policy in future. As Maharashtra has set this example, experts believe that it can inspire similar innovations to individual, public safety and infrastructure flexibility with flexibility.
Air use
* Drone is being used in many areas
* Drons can reach hard-to-wheel areas, thus prevent risk for human life
* Drone is being used in defense sector, most is UAVs
* Drone is also being used in firefighter services to reach high growth and dangerous places
* Used for photography and film production
