“…The volume calculated is shown in negative figures because the area excavated is below the surface level. The level of accuracy obtained is between 15 mm vertically and 20 mm horizontally, which is very high for a typical, large-sized area [15]. The comparison between the traditional surveying method and the deployment of the UAS showed the efficiency of the UAS for measuring the bulk excavation.…”

The use of an unmanned aerial system (UAS) in construction project management (CPM) is an emerging methodology aimed at improving the performance of project management practices. Despite the different functions that an UAS offers, which are well covered in various sources ranging from isolated exploratory works to ad hoc case studies, construction practitioners still demonstrate little interest in UAS technology. The underwhelming interest is rooted in a lack of an understanding of the value of the data collected using UASs and their potential to enrich Building Information Modelling (BIM). This research presents the details of the UAS developed to check the accuracy of work performed, along with the generation of the corresponding progress payment reports as well as referencing and tracking information in real time, for a residential project. This study also discusses combining the data generated from the UAS and 5D BIM to develop a smart construction site. The UAS–BIM combination enables the project stakeholders to be fully informed of the work’s progress and quality to avoid mistakes that could lead to extra costs and delays. The paper identified the main obstacles to applying the UAS via interviews with the project managers and tradespersons involved in the selected project. Assuredly, a digital culture is essential for a smart construction site to shift the project team from a passive data user to a more proactive analyzer to improve performance and site safety. Other obstacles include ethical reservations, legal requirements, liability risks, weather conditions, and the continuation of using an UAS in non-open-air construction environments.

“…Today, effective methods of monitoring construction works, especially installation, are the use of UAVs along with methods of creating three-dimensional models by processing photogrammetric data [8]. Monitoring systems allow you to obtain an accuracy of up to 50 mm, which does not quite meet the construction requirements for installation accuracy, however, they provide an opportunity to obtain relative data with differentiation in time, which makes it possible to analyze the installation process, or when changing technical equipment UAV, for example, an infrared camera, to receive tempera-tour pictures of the work site, etc.…”

The materials of the article are devoted to the issue of simulation modeling of construction mechanized technological equipment, in particular, modeling of the lifting and assembly module for the installation of a structural coating. Today, an urgent task in the construction market is the construction of large-scale structures, the life cycle of which is shortened, but the construction terms are reduced. Such a need exists in the construction of shelter hangars, field hospitals, warehouses, etc. As a rule, for urgent needs, buildings with light construction structures are erected, the covering of which is formed by structural blocks. A feature of such structures is multi-element support elements. A lifting assembly module is proposed for the installation of such structures. It is essential that the mounted structural coating is assembled on the heads of the lifting and collecting modules in blocks, and the lifting of the structural block to the design mark occurs thanks to the module while simultaneously raising/assembling the supporting elements of the coating. Simulation computer modeling tools were used to study the possibility of implementing the assembly process using the lifting assembly module. It is proposed to use the parametric formation of sketches and 3D models when forming the design features of the module. The dissection of the elements of the new assembly module, support elements and structural coating to the level of simple parts made it possible to determine their mass characteristics with sufficient accuracy. The basic technical indicators of the assembly module and building structures, which can be used in the development of the assembly technology, were obtained. Approaches to the use of cloud databases when using unified elements during design are defined.The use of simulated geometric modeling data allows to analyze the strength properties of the components of the technical system and, together with the visual observation data, to create a common information model of the building object with the possibility of qualitative analysis of the indicators of the specified elements of building structures.

“…A number of scholars have conducted research on various UAV applications in civil engineering. Recent studies have shown the usefulness of the UAV data for structure monitoring and condition assessment (Henriques et al, 2015, Carroll et al, 2021, crack detection (Lei et al, 2020, Choi et al, 2021, surveying engineering (Hoskere et al, 2019), construction process monitoring (Shults et al 2020), and many else. The paper aimed to familiarize the audience with one of the UAV applications that combine high-precision surveying for monitoring with further integration of surveying results into engineering software for structural analysis as a part of BIM.…”

Abstract. The paper describes the basic concept of the integration between UAV surveying results and BIM. As a case study, it was considered the large spatial shell that served as a hangar for the Antonov An-225 Mriya, the largest in the world strategic cargo aircraft with a maximum take-off weight of 640 tons. Due to an explosion inside, the hangar and aircraft were significantly damaged. The key point of the study is the damage estimation by analysis and modeling of this unique engineering structure. The study has included several steps: hangar structure documentation (before damage), UAV surveying of the hangar (for ongoing condition estimation), terrestrial measurements for the control, and integration of 3D models inside BIM for structural analysis. Deploying the UAV allowed us to generate detailed 3D models of the hangar by means of photogrammetry and computer vision methods. The inclusion of the field geodetic measurements into the processing made it possible to increase significantly positioning accuracy of the results to the sub-centimeter level and served as a ground truth for the models obtained based on UAV sensors data. The results proved the feasibility of BIM and UAV photogrammetry for the hangar stability model development and practical verification based on geospatial and structural engineering data.
