#90 Evaluating the effectiveness of roofing work inspection using remotely piloted aircraft systems
This project aims to evaluate the effectiveness of remotely piloted aircraft systems (RPAS) and 3D mapping techniques to inspect roofing work to support or enhance conventional in-person inspections. The project will also explore methods to automate and scale up technology-assisted roofing work inspection for broader implementation at a state or national level.
It builds on Project #33, which identified the potential to use RPAS to inspect roofing work remotely.
The project outcomes will enhance on-site quality assurance of roofing work and regulatory oversight of roofing work by detecting and rectifying non-compliant roofing work early. Expected benefits include a lower building repair costs and improved health and wellbeing of occupants.
