Site-Inspection Drone Designed to Help Enforce Regulations and Monitor Work
Khalifa University student Fahad Al Shaibani and alumna Iman Hableel were one of five teams to make the finals of the “Drones for Good” Competition in the national category. Their site-inspection drone is designed to help enforce regulations at labour camps — from ensuring that employees are taking appointed break to monitoring hours of operation and building boundaries.
Their drone is also capable of conducting post-construction inspections thanks to a live internet feed capacity that provides three-dimensional imagery of building sites.
“We were looking at the municipalities [as possible clients] because it’s a hard job that’s very time consuming and covering a huge area ” said Mr. Al Shaibani.
The site-inspection drone is estimated to cost between Dh20 000 and Dh30 000.
