Chesham culverts
We were in Chesham carrying out an inspection of a culvert using the Flyability Elios 3. The brief: enter the culvert from a known manhole and trace the line underground to identify the position of an unknown, buried manhole.
Using the Elios 3’s LiDAR and onboard visual feed, we mapped the internal structure of the culvert and tracked the route with full spatial awareness. In the video below, you’ll see the moment the drone confirms the manhole’s location buried roughly 30 cm below ground.
A precise, safe and efficient way to solve a problem that would otherwise require digging or intrusive investigation.
