What was on the table
A major international construction programme required a more effective method of monitoring progress across an exceptionally large and complex development environment. Traditional site reporting could not provide the speed, consistency or visual context needed by project teams.
How we approached it
AO contributed to a platform that processes and stitches drone-captured imagery into a digital environment that project managers can review through web and tablet experiences, inspect site progress, compare imagery and access a more current digital view of construction activity.
