>>1483907>I know they're starting up with drones, that seems pretty interesting but no clue about where that would be used outside of Civil inspections.You'd have to have a background in BIMs for the drone type works unless you were the operator. We have a small drone department and the operator is an ex-Army helicopter pilot, I don't know whether that's an insurance requirement by NR but we got grounded for a month after the drone kicked into an auto-landing because something had gone wrong with the unit but it landed fine, where it was programmed too and never came anywhere near the infrastructure or OHLE. It got the go-ahead to fly on the Liverpool St station blockade months back.
Image is the VOG route passing Ewenny Quarry, I have a web application I use that has high-resolution drone pictures of most of the routes, great when you need to evaluate what Safe System of Works will be needed for the tasks, you can zoom right into most place and it's crystal up to about 5 metres of track level also has a LIDAR viewing function if that area has been 3d scanned but I cannot run it on my works laptop as it's not meaty enough, if I need to I boot up my Desktop.
