Key Observations This Week: The high-resolution orthophoto clearly shows significant progress on the long, multi-unit building, with a substantial portion of the roofing now installed. Other smaller structures are in earlier phases, exhibiting varying stages of foundation work and framing. Material laydown areas are visible across the site, indicating ongoing logistical activities. Existing roadways and internal access routes appear clear. The surrounding developed areas provide valuable context for the project's integration.
Insights from All Uploads: [Based on the provided orthophoto and assuming this is the first detailed visual upload, the primary insight is the current layout and stage of construction across the various buildings and the overall site organization. Future uploads will allow for tracking changes and progress over time.]
Key Observations This Week: The DSM highlights elevation variations across the construction site, crucial for site grading and progress tracking.
Elevation Data (Adjusted to Local Altitude - Approximate): Assuming a local altitude in Fort Morgan, CO, of approximately 4,300 feet above sea level (this is an estimate and would need precise local data for exact conversion):
High Elevation: Approximately 4,348 feet and 2 inches (based on a relative high point of ~148.16 meters in the ODM report).
Low Elevation: Approximately 4,312 feet and 4 inches (based on a relative low point of ~1312.12 meters in the ODM report).
Insights from All Uploads: [Similar to the orthophoto, this initial DSM provides a baseline understanding of the site's topography. Future DSM comparisons will be essential for quantifying earthwork progress and identifying any unintended elevation changes.]
The primary long, multi-unit building shows significant advancement in roofing installation.
Other identified building footprints are in earlier stages of construction, with visible foundations and potentially some framing initiated.
No major structural additions or removals are apparent this week based on the visual data.
Material laydown areas are established in various locations across the site.
Access roads and pathways appear to be maintained and accessible.
Staging areas for equipment and materials are present.
No significant changes in the overall site layout are readily apparent this week.
GSD: 1.9 cm
Horizontal Accuracy (CE90): 1.491 meters
Vertical Accuracy (LE90): 8.557 meters
GPS errors: 4.20 meters
Processing Time: Total Processing Time - 51 minutes and 45 seconds
These metrics confirm the high precision and reliability of our drone data, which is essential for effective construction monitoring and decision-making.
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.
Continue regular drone flights to monitor construction progress on all building structures.
Compare the current orthophoto and DSM with future datasets to quantify structural advancements and earthwork changes.
If project plans become available, overlay them with the orthophoto to identify any deviations from the intended layout.
Analyze future DSMs for potential issues related to drainage and erosion in areas with exposed soil.
Monitor the organization and safety of material storage and staging areas in subsequent surveys.
[Based on the initial data, the trend is towards active construction across multiple buildings, with the long multi-unit building progressing most rapidly in terms of roofing.]
[Future reports will track the rate of progress on different structures and the overall site development.]
