When the COVID-19 pandemic hit, companies across the construction industry had to adapt to a more virtual way of working. Yet some companies, like Leighton Asia, faced the particularly difficult challenge of continuing the physical site works on projects throughout the Asia-Pacific region and with partners worldwide.
Leighton Asia is the international contractor behind some of Asia's most prestigious projects. Their projects, teams and workforce are diverse, and they often work in different time zones. Due to global lockdown restrictions, being able to collaborate on-site was either incredibly difficult or downright impossible.
Enter DroneDeploy.
By adopting the aerial drone and ground capture capabilities of DroneDeploy's cloud-based reality capture platform, Leighton Asia was able to continue on-site collaboration by creating digital twins of each project that staff could access remotely from across the globe. And with 360 ground capture, project managers could be on the ground of a site from hundreds or thousands of kilometers away without having to leave their homes.
