A new joint venture between Ferrovial\u2019s UK subsidiary Amey<\/a>, and world leading drone technology experts, VTOL Technologies<\/a>, will use precision, long-range drones to transform asset management inspections \u2013 making it safer, quicker and easier to assess vital infrastructure such as bridges and railways.<\/p>\n

Richard Butterfield, AmeyVTOL<\/a>\u2019s Service Development Director said:<\/p>\n

\u201cDoing more with less is a challenge most businesses will understand. As asset managers, we\u2019re often asked to deliver cost efficiencies for our clients while increasing inspections to meet the growing demands on the UK\u2019s networks.<\/p>\n

Using this cutting-edge technology to inspect the vital infrastructure that we all rely on is a world first. It will change the way we inspect assets forever; allowing us to assess at the touch of a button, make real-time recommendations and potentially save millions of pounds for our clients.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

AmeyVTOL\u2019s unique patented unmanned autonomous drone<\/strong>, known as The Flying Wing, is at the forefront of long-range, beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS), remotely piloted aerial systems (RPAS) autonomous drone technology worldwide and offers a number of benefits that traditional drones fall short of.<\/p>\n

The Flying Wing will carry Ground Penetrating Radar<\/strong>, High Definition video<\/strong> and still<\/strong>, Infrared<\/strong>, thermal and Light Detection and Ranging<\/strong> sensors<\/strong>, amongst others. It can take off and land anywhere, travel up to 150 km<\/strong>, at speeds of up to 60 kph<\/strong> and change direction to precisely map the same route over and over, regardless of weather conditions. It also has the added benefit of capturing data in real time<\/strong> and streaming it live to a data processing engine.<\/p>\n

Mark Shaw, Director for AmeyVTOL said:<\/p>\n

\u201cOur unique and patented Flying Wing outperforms existing drones and represents the future of aerial inspections. We\u2019re really excited to be introducing this market-leading technology which will revolutionise the asset management industry to deliver repeatable, consistent and accurate inspections as early as 2018.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
