“Enhancing Road and Worker Safety through Drone-based Inspection and Monitoring”
We were happy to be part of the Traffex event at the CBS Arena in Coventry, UK last week, 22-23/05/2024. During the conference, Meir Givon, our Innovation Leader, and Founder, delivered an insightful lecture on the subject above. Here are some insights and highlights from it:
At GIV Solutions, we provide comprehensive technological & management solutions for monitoring and engineering inspections of road structures using advanced drones equipped with LiDAR sensors, cameras, and thermal cameras. Our solutions, methodologies & know-how expertise, include inspection and management of the maintenance of bridges, tunnels, culverts, drainage canals, and other hard-to-reach assets and their components.
Key benefits of our solution:
- Enhanced Safety: Drones eliminate the need for inspectors to work in un accessible, dangerous environments, reducing risks and improving worker safety.
- Denial of Service and Shut down reduction: Dramatic reduction of time required to interfere with traffic or shut down roads or lanes.
- Cost-effective Inspections: Significant reduced costs and easier inspections lead to more frequent checks, early fault detection, and prevention of structural failures.
- Traceability and Reliability of Inspections: Significant Increase in traceability, coverage, and Reliability of the findings, Photos, and Videos, with clear sharp accurate footage of findings, defects, and points of Interest, Including the ability of remote measuring.
- 3D Modelling: Drone data is analyzed to create 3D models for predictive or on-condition maintenance.
- All those advancements of the GIV-INSPECTION-TECH™ establish a revolution in the way of performing Road structure inspections safely, reliably & efficiently.
- UK CSS Compliance: Our GIV-BMS™ solution adheres to the UK CSS standard for road structure and bridge inspections.
- Road Management System: Our GIV-RMS™, a full & comprehensive Operations, Maintenance, and Logistic system, Integrates engineering, operation, maintenance, safety, Traffic arrangements, Work Permits & inspection data, with GIS & MOBILE, with our advanced system, enabling sound maintenance decisions, with clear high-level safety, within digital processes connecting any role player. In a similar way GIV-RAIL™ manages all the above in a holistic manner for Light Trains or Metro, with the unique requirements for the Railway environment.
During his lecture, Mr. Givon showcased our award-winning pilot project with Ayalon Highways, the leading highway operator in the Tel-Aviv metropolitan area. This groundbreaking project featured the world’s first drone-based bridge inspection executed in parallel to ongoing highway traffic, demonstrating the effectiveness and safety of our solution.
We were delighted to engage actively at Traffex, share our knowledge & best practices, and connect with new customers and partners across the UK.
Looking forward to seeing you at our next event!
