Integrating UAV data into civil planning
Hello all,
I’ve been collecting drone (UAV) data for topographic and volumetric surveys, but integrating it into civil planning projects isn’t always seamless.
What’s the best workflow or software for merging UAV data with CAD or GIS systems? How do you ensure that drone-based models meet engineering accuracy standards for large-scale infrastructure projects?

Hi everyone,Autonomous survey tech like total stations and AI scanners is revolutionizing the field—crews could be mostly automated in 5-7 years, handling routine tasks efficiently. However, full replacement of traditional teams seems unlikely; human oversight will always be essential for quality assurance, site-specific judgments, and ethical interpretations in dynamic environments.Construction is adopting fastest for streamlined builds, mining for rugged precision, and infrastructure mapping trails but accelerates for urban planning.
