At last - an application for drones that doesn't centre of violation of people's right to privacy!

"Pit lake water sampling is a treacherous, high-risk activity commonly performed by environmental staff at active mine sites around the world. Risks include falling from heights, rock falls, landslides, tsunami, hypothermia, and drowning. Last year, employees from the technology and water groups at Hatch, a leading engineering firm, came together to develop a more innovative process for collecting water samples from flooded pits, tailings ponds, evaporation ponds, and other water bodies, in order to keep staff safe from hazardous risks associated with this task. Pierre Filiatreault, UAV services lead at Hatch explains, "In our line of business, using UAVs can significantly reduce the potential risks associated with hazardous tasks we are faced with. In most cases, UAVs can also collect information more efficiently and at a lower cost. We knew that by incorporating new technology, we could find a better method that supports our core safety values.”" Show more
