Guideline Improvement for Drone Application of Public Construction Corporation - A Case of Korea Land & Housing Corporation

Abstract

Significant advances in navigation equipment and camera resolution have enabled flight and high-resolution surveying in urban areas. Accordingly, the potential for application in the construction field has increased. However, in Korea, drones are mainly used for video shooting and pest control purposes, so the use of drones in the construction field is low. Several public construction corporations are currently using drones, but the application areas are mainly simple monitoring, such as status surveys, patrols, and exterior surveys. Therefore, in this study, the work guidelines of public construction corporations were reviewed and revised to enable the practical use of drone surveying and system preparation. Nine related work guidelines of Korea Land and Housing Corporation reviewed and derived a total of 26 revisions. After reviewing the relevant regulations of the National Geographic Information Institute and the construction standard estimating system of the Korea Institute of Civil Engineering and Building Technology, revisions were derived if the work guidelines had no important contents or were different from the relevant regulations. In addition, revisions to increase the use of drones were suggested by finding cases where it is possible to use drones for the tasks in the guidelines. This study is expected to contribute to the objectification of drone flight and survey conditions, product quality control, cost estimation and payment, and increase of drone utilization by presenting directions for key improvements when improving construction-related guidelines for the use of drones. © 2022 AEPress, s.r.o..
