Swindon Borough Council, GB deploys drones for streamlined roofing inspections in social housing

Swindon Borough Council, GB Drones Roofing Inspections

Complete

The borough's emerging tech team coordinated a drone inspection pilot across multiple departments. A drone equipped with multi-direction obstacle sensing and geofencing completed inspections in an average of 17 minutes. Drone inspections also identified hazardous materials and structural issues before they became costly issues. The now-permanent drone program achieved a 100% rate of first-time repairs and annual savings of £80,265 during the pilot.
