In 2024, the Ministry of Construction developed a new GOST R “Unmanned aerial systems in construction, used for geodetic work. General requirements.” The standard is intended to unify modern methods of geodetic work in construction, including engineering and geodetic surveys, using unmanned aerial systems. This was reported by Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin.
“Russia is implementing the national project “Unmanned Aerial Systems”, which is designed to ensure the technical sovereignty of the country in the field of creating drones. Of course, their use in construction is a very promising area. This includes monitoring construction, and safety control, and transportation of goods and materials, and, of course, performing geodetic work with high accuracy and efficiency. In fact, this is one of the elements of digitalization of the industry. Therefore, today’s urgent task is to create a regulatory framework for scaling the technology and ensure the training of specialists in this field,” said Marat Khusnullin.
The national standard covers unmanned aerial systems (UAS) used in the construction industry to perform and verify geodetic tasks, including engineering and geodetic surveys. The document defines the specifications of the functional characteristics of UAS, as well as general conditions and recommendations for their use in geodetic activities.
“Certainly, the use of drones in construction, including in engineering and geodetic surveys, is a very promising area, which will be used, among other things, to implement the new national project “Infrastructure for Life”. UAVs allow obtaining more accurate and detailed data, are capable of surveying large areas in a short time, and performing work on sites with difficult terrain. The new standard establishes a unified approach to classification, types of application, equipment requirements and the procedure for performing work using UAVs. It is important to note that the document establishes requirements for assessing the accuracy of the data obtained, as well as safety requirements when working with drones,” said Deputy Minister of Construction and Housing and Public Utilities Sergei Muzychenko.
During the discussion of the standard, more than 30 specialized organizations provided their proposals.
Among the advantages of using UAS is the ability to shoot from low altitudes to obtain high-resolution images, which is especially important for detailed study of the territory. Also noted is a reduction in the impact on the ecosystem compared to traditional methods of ground-based shooting, which is especially important in nature conservation areas.
“For the systematic development and implementation of UAS in construction, amendments to the set of rules governing geodetic work have also been approved in 2024. SP 126 has been supplemented with provisions on the use of laser scanning systems and the use of unmanned aerial systems. Recommendations have been included on processing aerial photography data to create orthophotomaps, digital terrain models and three-dimensional models, provisions on remote monitoring using UAS, requirements for monitoring deviations in the geometric parameters of buildings and structures under construction from design solutions,” said Andrey Kopytin, Director of the Federal Center for Surveying and Surveying.
As part of the “road map” “Reengineering of industrial construction”, amendments have been made to SP 317, which regulates the requirements for engineering and geodetic surveys. This is necessary to improve the accuracy of surveys and design solutions using drones and optimize topographic and geodetic work.
In the future, the use of drones for engineering and geodetic surveys will reduce construction time and costs by up to 10% when implementing an investment and construction project.
