Worcestershire County Council, GB experiments with drone technology for bridge inspections
Worcestershire County Council, GB Drone Bridge Inspections
County officials sought a cost-effective method for inspecting 1,500 bridges across Worcestershire. The county's partnership with Jacobs and Ringway resulted in a fleet of inspection drones. Each drone is flown by a licensed pilot with camera operation by a county inspector. Drones record structural conditions in hard-to-reach and narrow spaces thanks to high-quality cameras. The pilot supports long-term evaluations of bridge conditions without time-intensive manual inspections.
