"With the images which you get from the drone covering the entire facade side, you are able to identify critical defects at locations. And that will then drive where we actually do our physical inspections to further analyse and identify the potential causes of these defects."

Mr Subramaniam also noted that using drones would also help to speed up the facade inspection. For instance, a 30- to 40-storey building would take about "a day to a day and a half, in principle", notwithstanding weather conditions.

SINGAPORE: How does one begin to inspect the facade of a 37-storey building, such as The Gateway, the pair of towering skyscrapers located along Beach Road? For now, physically and without a drone. But the use of drones will soon be encouraged for facade inspection

Every minute a plane remains idle on the ground means money lost for the airline, with checks and MRO intervention accounting for a lot of that down time. The ability to have quickly and effectively assume the work of the six to eight humans who must currently access the fuselage and wings during manual checks would result in enormous economies of time – and with that, money. And in an era still punctuated by covid-driven restrictions, automated and instant digital analyses could allow officials unable to be physically present to make informed decisions about whether repairs are necessary.
