Cliftons Projects is proud to announce our engagement in conducting a comprehensive drone inspection of over 50 buildings at the University of Southampton's Highfield Campus. This initiative is part of our commitment to support the University's long-term maintenance and future project planning efforts through the creation of a detailed photographic inventory.
Our task was to compile an extensive visual documentation, aiding the University in identifying and confirming maintenance requirements for their Long Term Maintenance (LTM) programme and in planning upcoming capital projects.
Utilising advanced drone technology, we have captured approximately 16,000 high-resolution images, culminating in a precise 3D representation of the campus architecture, accessible through an expansive campus-wide map. Our innovative software empowers licensed users to meticulously examine individual buildings or specific architectural elements, such as facades or roofs. This feature is invaluable for spotting potential issues, including blocked gutters, without the need for physical site visits, costly access equipment, or permits to work.
Key features of our drone survey include:
High-resolution photographic analysis and downloadable content. Georeferenced coordinates for precise location tracking. 3D annotations and defect highlights for easy identification of maintenance needs. Comprehensive measurement tools for detailed examination. Photo documentation of defects, enhancing maintenance accuracy. Detailed PDF inspection reports for record-keeping. Enhanced security with password protection and user-based privacy settings. Functional markups for collaborative review and planning. Advanced volume and slope measurement capabilities for thorough assessment. Orthophoto support for top-down imaging needs. Customisation options including University of Southampton branding and specific building labels.
This cutting-edge approach not only enhances the efficiency and accuracy of building inspections but also significantly reduces the logistical challenges and costs associated with traditional methods. Our service offers a transformative solution for consultants and contractors, enabling remote, detailed inspections at their convenience.
