Orthophoto and DSM Insights

Orthophoto Insights:

Orthophoto: [Persona 1: Geospatial Analyst]

•     DJI Mavic 2 Zoom

•     The orthophoto provides a clear, overhead view of the site, allowing for accurate measurement and identification of features.

•     Key observations from this week:

•         Continued progress on the main multi-unit building is visible, with further definition of the roof structure.

•         Residential units show ongoing foundation work.

•         Material staging areas appear organized.

•         Site grading activities are evident, with changes in surface texture and color.

DSM (Digital Surface Model):

• • • DSM (Digital Surface Model): [Persona 1: Geospatial Analyst]

    •     Key observations from this week:

    •         The DSM highlights elevation variations on the site, crucial for site grading and progress tracking.

    •         High elevation: 4391.70 feet (1338.59 meters)

    •         Low elevation: 4314.44 feet (1315.04 meters)

Construction Update:

Structural Progress: [Persona 2: Construction Engineer]

•     Continued progress on the main multi-unit building, with the roof structure becoming more defined.

•     Ongoing foundation work for the residential units, indicating that they are in the early stages of development.

•     Material staging areas are present, which is typical for this stage of construction.

•     Evidence of ongoing earthwork and grading across the site.

Site Layout: [Persona 2: Construction Engineer]

•     The orthophoto reveals the layout of the main multi-unit building and the residential units.

•     Access roads and pathways are visible, indicating site logistics.

•     Material staging areas are located strategically.

•     Overall, the site layout appears organized and functional.

Accuracy Metrics (ODM Quality Report):

Accuracy Metrics: (Geospatial Analyst)

•     GSD: 1.9 cm

•     Horizontal Accuracy (CE90): 0.588 meters

•     Vertical Accuracy (LE90): 0.316 meters

•     GPS errors: 0.55 meters

•     Processing Time: 1.0h:37.0m:51.0s

These metrics confirm the high precision and reliability of our drone data, which is essential for effective construction monitoring and decision-making.

Deliverables:

• Images Captured: 284 high-resolution images (available in JPG and DNG formats), including 8 cardinal-direction views for comprehensive site coverage.

• Orthophoto & DSM: High-resolution outputs that support marketing, project management, and site planning, accessible via the dedicated client portal on www.303-drones.net.

• Videos: Dynamic 400’ Orbit and Hyperlapse footage capturing the site's progress, providing a visual narrative of the construction evolution.

Next Steps:

• Continue monitoring structural progress, especially the main multi-unit building.

• Track the progress of foundation work for the residential units.

• Monitor site grading activities and earthwork volumes.

• Assess material staging and site logistics.

• Compare the current data with previous reports to identify trends.

[Persona 1: Geospatial Analyst]

•     Analysis of volume calculations for cut and fill, which will be crucial as the site grading progresses.

•     Detailed change detection analysis between this orthophoto and previous orthophotos to quantify construction progress.

[Persona 2: Construction Engineer]

•     Compare progress against the project schedule to identify any potential delays.

•     Monitor site safety practices based on material storage and access routes.

[Persona 3: Data Visualization Specialist]

•     Create interactive maps and dashboards to allow stakeholders to visualize progress over time.

   [Persona 4: Reporting and Documentation Specialist]

•     Ensure all findings are clearly documented and communicated to stakeholders.

Trends:

• • Consistent progress is being made on the main multi-unit building.

  • Foundation work for the residential units is ongoing.

  • Site grading and earthwork are progressing.

  • The site layout appears organized and functional.
