special moderate. Whenever you are ready, please feel free to begin.
>> Thanks. [Indiscernible]
and Tober [ Muffled audio ]
here is a schedule.
Initial project since the early
1990s --, in California for the past
years -- at this time I
will thing -- turn things over to John.
>> Jeff, thank you. I'm please to kick off
-- webinar if you case studies project
-- services also discuss applications of drones that
are in development.
Other industries and may be used in the near future for
munitions projects.
Keep it simple. Drones are becoming
more common on environmental construction industries and energy
industry relative to munitions for safety, cost
saving and -- opportunity for improved --. The concerns from
the [Indiscernible] about using drones really have limited their
use in our industry. Most of the Otey insulation -- most
DOD installations are limited and have drones
considered [Indiscernible] opportunities to
use drones on several projects.
The use of drones started with aerial photography.
Is expanded to a number of fields including environmental
monitoring and is more frequently in energy
exploration and energy transmission. [Indiscernible]
packages and that is something [Indiscernible] is a long
way out.
[Indiscernible] I will spend time and how -- for
small drone. This are the drones most clearly was from -- for munitions
projects and offer drones --
small UES symmetrical larger drones are under
section 333. The small drones include
having remote certification from FAA
which is -- facility based on an reading
material. It requires [Inaudible]
the permit restrictions with temporary
restrictions and [Indiscernible] I'm sure we
will continue to the FAA -- people
to [Indiscernible].
Another key thing
[Inaudible] project is the FAA limitation and special use airspace.
This covers most of the active DOD to make it restricted airspace and
the Otey facilities [Indiscernible] use of
drone and [Inaudible] can be granted.
Happy to have the next item
the [Indiscernible] the drone for the whole time and
it really was annoying.
One of the things the FAA has come out -- to airport
they have a partnership with the commercial entities to
allow access to [Inaudible].
Controlled airspace in the airports.
Low altitude [Indiscernible] capability program.
It's been [Inaudible] across the us
-- the opportunity for real-time
scheduling and waivers on airspace
property.
>> For the rest of the presentation present case studies of how
emissions projects.
>> I mentioned
our videos we have over -- conferences there's
a lot of [Indiscernible] and traditional
environmental projects -- video detonations and I think
most people are involved in munitions --
we have -- the
vegetation -- issues [Indiscernible] and
confirmed the
[Indiscernible] verification --
and [Indiscernible] the video shoot
different perspectives -- show different stages
of burning.
The frequency and -- making sure the fire
is not an and make sure the fire is
completely out.
-- People are wrong to want to come back through and try
to have -- printing
activities -- target
location as part of an operational arrangement. Other projects
were not affected during site
visit -- to the distant of the target, the location of the areas
we just sheer number of targets.
case -- >>
In some cases where --
ongoing -- of the range. This is out
of place.
It's a suggestion from lessons learned on the projects I mentioned.
In most cases -- on every target range
or in some cases [Indiscernible] there's no [Inaudible] target on
the range. Having a drone
video contractors certainty in our -- target condition and
really understanding what is out there.
>> Contractors have -- caused and allow
a digital [Indiscernible] to come back to and be evaluated and
and so looking at notes and pictures that were taken and try to put together
a survey that would give reproducible data that
would help with the more actual picture. The
other part -- waivers instead of contract
request and at this point I'm going to move
on to a couple projects I think these examples
show things applicable to conditions projects and opportunities
to use drones. Continue to use a drone
on the project for inspection.
The project -- routine daily and weekly inspection, the
water level.
Drones were not allowed as we continue to
provide education to the client on roles on small
drones and -- is anticipated cost savings
on inspections, they changed the policy was granted and we were allowed
to syndrome. We did a lot of the repeat inspections and they
provide great video documentation. This claim
now uses drone footage. One of the advantages
in this case that the personnel doing inspections
don't need to access [Indiscernible] in addition to
vegetative cover, having a nice video is a great way to
document condition
[Indiscernible].
>> I mentioned earlier about using drones for inspection on projects
-- personnel outside of [Inaudible] zones similar
to using drones for site inspections on projects like
the one of the additional act locations of drones like
land-use control -- five-year site review [Inaudible]
digital record -- attached to the document and give
good visual status of the project. Another project I want
to highlight was use a drone on and HTRW
project Southeast. Drilling work was done [Indiscernible]
part of vapor extraction system,
a lot of drummed waste. We use the drone to wait observing
a drilling operation.
Drones really provided safety in this
case pick we had to have fewer people inside the
exclusion zone. I have to admit that [Indiscernible] on
this project people don't really want to stand around and
watch a video on a level B -- is not nearly
as interesting -- in Georgia and Alabama
the projects used drones to the way a lot of the man-made features
present at the --
abandoned property.
Relates its a small picture but -- man-made features
stood out. But the projects we used
topographic surveys for 3-D renderings. The
project involved a waste bond.
[Indiscernible].
As a follow-on to generating topographic data, don't surveys
on multiple HTRW projects that are volume estimates
both on stock house or excavations and on [Inaudible] evaluating
what has been dug in and exploration.
To it and make those estimates. A couple of projects
we also need comparison showing a smaller
stock pile to compare we use in a drone and
then to check that against from certain that. We found
that [Indiscernible] drone survey was within
>> After we completed the topographic survey
and excavation on the survey one of our
clients -- assist to start a new project for them to do a drone survey
of multiple [Indiscernible] for these [Indiscernible] to
Terry estimate. -- Budgetary estimate.
>> Lace most munitions project don't include large
excavation -- or even with the
project involves [Indiscernible] during remedial
or [Indiscernible]. Last few slides application to drones
that need development and can be used in
munitions projects. The I'm showing a drone developed at the University
of Nebraska Lincoln.
Working for Prince for small
controlled burns.
Talk about Vern and helicopters
are larger, more versatility
and [Indiscernible] is he drones
for [Indiscernible] on smaller controlled burns
-- helicopter.
To operate them around wildfire and then the
of our larger [Indiscernible] which is really
half an hour range the time it took --
the another to know a lot of folks are looking to expand [Indiscernible]
time of the drones.
A couple other applications we use for drones for
firefighting applications. The benefits really are
limited to firefighting on
the building.
[Indiscernible] it does give a vertical [Indiscernible] fight
the fire. I read an article earlier that spoke about
using drones for imaging on solar panels. The point of
this is there's an extension that can be done on technology
of [Indiscernible] sponsor air quality,
and adding other abilities
to test for explosive residues.
We will continue to use drones in the next phase of
the project. It will include air monitoring devices
-- also I mentioned things for germ -- thermal imaging,
a great next step for drones
project.
>> Another application of drones that in the future
is on delivering materials. This is a
case that -- delivery phone -- for
Domino's pizza but also in this case delivery
medical supplies. Application and technology of delivering some has
to do with handling larger payloads --
not showing dominoes may be testing a drone but I don't
expect the Chinese restaurant near in the
near future.
Peckish delivering is a long way
off. -- Package delivering is a long way
off.
>> I mentioned at the beginning and
maybe -- on schedule I think there's time
for some questions.
