2023 Convention Auxiliary Seminar: Eye in the Sky-Mitigating Facade Access Risks Through UAS Aerial Imagery- Augustine K., Cobb M. ($95.00 member/110.00 Non-member)

Course Overview
This session was originally presented at the 2023 IIBEC International Convention & Trade Show in Houston, Texas.  This course includes the recording of the session, a summative assessment consisting of 10 multiple-choice questions, and surveys required to claim continuing education credit.

Description

Facade access has always been a high-risk endeavor for engineers, architects, consultants, and contractors. While regulation has reduced risks associated with facade access through the requirements associated with intermediate support anchors and tracks, many existing buildings have not had their facade access and fall arrest systems updated since their original construction under pre-existing code.

Walter P Moore & Associates has utilized drone imagery and data collection to capture facade information on a variety of projects to mitigate risks to their engineers. These efforts have reduced the amount of time spent on suspended and mobile scaffolds while still using traditional access methods to review areas of the building at arm’s length. Systematic drone aerial imagery capture also allows for reduced time on site, as imagery of the building can be captured in a measure of hours rather than days. Working in tandem with arm’s-length reviews, this methodology provides engineers with the ability to perform limited up-close assessments of the most critical areas of the building while reducing the amount of time required to be suspended on scaffolding.
