As the demand for faster, safer, and more accurate site inspections grows, the integration of drone / uncrewed aerial vehicle (UAV) technology with digital twin modeling is revolutionizing how investigations are conducted. In an article for On-Site magazine, Rimkus UAV Practice Leader Willie Carroll explores how high-resolution imagery, LiDAR data, and thermal scans collected by drones can be used to build dynamic digital replicas of real-world assets. These digital twins can provide unparalleled visual insight and allow for remote, real-time collaboration, making them ideal for use in structural assessments, construction planning, and even historical preservation projects.
Whether clients are managing a complex infrastructure asset, planning a building restoration, or conducting assessments, our drone-enabled digital twins offer a smarter, safer alternative to traditional methods. Drones can help experts obtain physical access to hazardous or inaccessible areas during investigations, as well as improve data accuracy and support maintenance strategies.
