With the rapid development of information technology, unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), as a new and popular technology, has also been tried in the field of engineering construction. In this paper, through the application of UAV technology in Australia's large-scale project to extinguish mountain fire, the application effect of UAV in the whole life cycle of engineering construction project is analogized. UAV assisted project progress, management quality and safety and other aspects, so that managers can timely and efficiently understand the situation of the project site, and effectively improve the management's control over the project construction, indicating the future application prospect of UAV technology in the construction field.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
