  1. Narromine Shire Council, Narromine, NSW, Australia

Narromine Shire Council in NSW is leveraging innovative engineering solutions, including drones and laser scanners, to enhance various projects. Here are some key applications benefited Narromine Shire Council:

1. Existing Building Assets to Shop Drawings: Drones and laser scanners can capture precise measurements and details of existing structures. This data can be converted into accurate shop drawings, which are essential for renovations, maintenance, and compliance with building standards.

2. Remote Town 3D Modelling with High Accuracy: Creating 3D models of remote towns using drones and laser scanners provides a detailed and accurate representation of the area. This is invaluable for urban planning, infrastructure development, and emergency response planning.

3. River Erosion Monitoring: Drones equipped with laser scanners can regularly monitor riverbanks and other vulnerable areas. This helps in tracking erosion patterns, assessing risks, and planning mitigation measures to protect the environment and local communities.

4. Standard Construction Work Activity: Using drones and laser scanners in standard construction activities enhances efficiency and accuracy. They can be used for site surveys, progress monitoring, and quality control, ensuring projects are completed on time and within budget. These technologies not only improve the precision and efficiency of various projects but also offer cost-effective solutions for managing and maintaining infrastructure.
