Recce & Survey Drone to provide a soft strata heat map of the different sediment types and bedrock along with likely slide-prone zones to enable more accurate survey and planning of road alignments

BRO is involved in construction of roads on green field alignments. During initial survey in thick vegetation, it is difficult to identify the rock strata and slide-prone area.

A drone based application to ascertain geological data and slide-prone areas will enable more accurate assessment of the requirement at the DPR stage.

Future Expectation from the Prototype/ Technology Developed

Drone based geological survey will become an inherent part of the DPR process and will be used extensively during selection of alignment and avoiding hard rock & slide-prone stretches to enable faster construction.
