BINGHATTI
Embedded Files
USE CASE EXAMPLE
Binghatti is evaluating a 500-acre plot in Dubai for a new residential development.
The 3D Site Mapping Drone is deployed to survey the site, flying autonomously over the area in under an hour.
The LiDAR sensor captures detailed data, penetrating through sparse vegetation to reveal the true ground surface.
Within 24 hours, the drone’s data is processed into a 3D topographic map, showing elevation changes, natural water flow paths, and existing obstacles.
Binghatti’s team uses this data to plan the placement of buildings, roads, and drainage systems, accurately budgeting for earthwork and avoiding costly surprises during construction.
Drone Concept: 3D Site Mapping Drone
Purpose:
This drone is designed to support Binghatti’s project planning by creating highly detailed 3D topographic maps of potential development sites. Using advanced LiDAR technology, the drone will provide precise data for terrain analysis, enabling better decision-making for site preparation, infrastructure design, and resource allocation in real estate projects.
Form Factor:
- Design: A compact, fixed-wing or rotary drone (depending on site size and requirements) with a sleek, aerodynamic build to ensure stability during long flights over large areas. The drone is equipped with a robust LiDAR sensor mounted on a gimbal for optimal scanning angles.
- Size and Weight: Approximately 1.2 meters in wingspan (for fixed-wing) or 0.8 meters in diameter (for rotary), weighing around 5-7 kg, including the LiDAR payload, to balance portability and payload capacity.
- Appearance: Branded with Binghatti’s logo and color scheme (e.g., sleek black and gold accents) to align with their corporate identity, giving it a professional and modern aesthetic suitable for a leading real estate developer.
Core Features:
1. LiDAR-Based 3D Mapping:
- The drone is equipped with a high-precision LiDAR sensor that emits thousands of laser pulses per second to measure distances and create detailed 3D point clouds of the terrain. This allows it to penetrate vegetation and capture the true topography of the land, even in densely vegetated or urban areas.
- Capable of generating topographic maps with a vertical accuracy of up to 10 cm and a resolution of 1 cm, ensuring survey-grade precision for Binghatti’s planning needs.
2. Topographic Map Outputs:
- Digital Elevation Models (DEMs): Provides bare-earth elevation data by filtering out vegetation and structures, crucial for understanding the natural terrain and planning earthworks.
- Digital Surface Models (DSMs): Captures both terrain and above-ground features (e.g., trees, buildings), useful for assessing existing site conditions and planning around obstacles.
- Contour Maps: Generates lines of equal elevation to visualize slopes, peaks, and valleys, aiding in site layout and drainage planning.
- 3D Point Clouds: Offers a comprehensive 3D representation of the site, which can be imported into software like AutoCAD for detailed design work.
3. Flight and Coverage Capabilities:
- Range and Endurance: Can cover up to 600-700 acres in a single flight, with a battery life of 60-90 minutes, depending on the model (fixed-wing for larger areas, rotary for smaller, complex sites).
- Autonomous Flight: Uses flight mission planning software to autonomously follow pre-programmed routes, ensuring efficient coverage of the site. The drone can adjust its path in real-time to avoid obstacles and optimize data collection.
- Rapid Data Collection: Capable of surveying a 50-acre site in under 30 minutes, significantly faster than traditional ground-based methods, which could take days.
4. Data Processing and Integration:
- Software Compatibility: Processes data using specialized software like DJI Terra or Pix4D, which converts raw LiDAR data into usable formats (e.g., LAS or LAZ files). These files can then be integrated into Binghatti’s existing design tools, such as AutoCAD or BIM software, for seamless project planning.
- Real-Time Monitoring: Features flight monitoring software that allows Binghatti’s team to track the drone’s progress, altitude, and battery status during the survey, ensuring high-quality data collection.
5. Customization for Binghatti:
- Branding: Incorporates Binghatti’s logo on the drone and in the software interface for a cohesive corporate experience.
- Tailored Outputs: The drone can be programmed to focus on specific data points relevant to real estate development, such as slope analysis for drainage systems, volume calculations for earthworks, or identifying optimal building placement.
- Safety and Compliance: Equipped with features to ensure compliance with UAE drone regulations, including geofencing and coordination with local air traffic control for safe operations in urban areas like Dubai.
Technical Considerations:
- Power: Powered by a high-capacity rechargeable battery, with a charging station included for quick turnaround between flights.
- Connectivity: Requires a stable 4G/5G connection for real-time data streaming and flight monitoring, with offline capabilities for remote sites.
- Durability: Built to withstand Dubai’s harsh climate, including high temperatures and dust, with an IP54 rating for dust and splash resistance.
- Maintenance: Modular design allows for easy replacement of parts like the LiDAR sensor or battery, minimizing downtime.
BENEFITS FOR BINGHATTI
- Efficiency: Reduces surveying time from days to hours, allowing faster project timelines.
- Cost Savings: Minimizes the need for large surveying teams and expensive equipment, cutting costs by up to 30% compared to traditional methods.
- Precision: Provides survey-grade accuracy, reducing errors in planning and budgeting for site preparation.
- Safety: Eliminates the need for surveyors to navigate hazardous terrain, such as steep slopes or construction zones.
- Innovation: Positions Binghatti as a tech-forward developer, enhancing their reputation in the competitive Dubai real estate market.
