Utility-scale · Construction monitoring

Progress measured, not reported.

Periodic aerial capture across the build, so progress, pile placement and tracker alignment are measured against the design while deviations are still cheap to fix.

PeriodicFlights through the build
Row by rowInstalled vs. plan
DeviationsFlagged early
As-builtAssembled as you go

Reported progress drifts

Weekly reports say what the schedule wants to hear. Aerial capture says what is in the ground.

1

Progress

Installed rows counted against the plan set, not estimated from a field report.

2

Placement

Pile and tracker alignment checked while a correction is still one crew, not a rework.

3

As-built

The as-built record builds itself from the same flights, instead of being a separate project at the end.

What comes back

A measured view of the build, every flight.

Each flight

  • Geolocated orthomosaic of the site
  • Rows installed against the plan set
  • Deviations in placement and alignment flagged

Across the build

  • Progress over time, flight to flight
  • An as-built record assembled as you go
  • The same record the commissioning inspection is measured against

How it works

1

Plan

Flight cadence set to the construction schedule.

2

Fly

Repeat aerial capture across the build.

3

Compare

Measured against the design, deviations flagged.
