We are always at the forefront of leveraging cutting-edge technology to enhance infrastructure inspection and maintenance. Our recent test of a drone-based LIDAR system on the iconic Chicago Skyway Bridge is a testament to this commitment.
Showcasing the Future of Infrastructure Inspection
The Chicago Skyway Bridge, an essential connector in the city’s transportation network, provided the perfect backdrop for demonstrating the potential of drone-based LIDAR technology. This test showcased how LIDAR can efficiently and accurately inspect large infrastructure, capturing detailed data that is crucial for ensuring the safety and longevity of such vital structures.
Why LIDAR?
LIDAR, which stands for Light Detection and Ranging, uses laser pulses to create high-resolution maps and 3D models of the environment. When mounted on a drone, LIDAR can quickly survey and inspect areas that are difficult or dangerous to access manually. This makes it an invaluable tool for infrastructure inspection, offering unparalleled precision and efficiency.
Commitment to Innovation
Our test on the Chicago Skyway Bridge demonstrates Helios Visions’ dedication to embracing the latest technological advancements. By integrating drone-based LIDAR into our suite of services, we aim to provide our clients with the most accurate and reliable data, helping to maintain and extend the life of our nation’s infrastructure.
Looking Ahead
We’re excited about the future possibilities that drone-based LIDAR technology holds. From bridges to buildings, this innovative approach can revolutionize the way we inspect and maintain our infrastructure, ensuring safer and more resilient communities.
