3. Terra Drone Indonesia, a group company of Terra Drone Corporation, one of the world&rsquos largest providers of industrial drone solutions, has successfully completed two pilot projects that demonstrate how construction companies can benefit from drone surveying and mapping services. Using drones equipped with Light Detection and Ranging LiDAR technology, Terra Drone Indonesia has carried out survey-grade topographic mapping for two different dam construction projects in the country.

Project 1: Bogor, West Java, Indonesia

In Bogor, the LiDAR drone technology was demonstrated to Wijaya Karya Persero Tbk, a construction engineering company working on a dam project in Megamendung. Covering an area of almost 20 hectares in a single day, Terra Drone Indonesia captured high-resolution data and images to generate an accurate topographic map and 3D model of the construction site. The data and images can now support decision-making in project controlling activities such as planning or measuring the work progress.

Project 2: Purworejo District, Central Java, Indonesia

In Purworejo, the survey activity was conducted for PT PP Persero Tbk, one of the main players in the national construction business in Indonesia. Over a period of four days, Terra Drone Indonesia carried out aerial LiDAR topographic mapping for a dam construction project in an area with dense vegetation to capture data and images for facilitating impeccable construction progress.
