IG Drones to survey Uttarakhand Metro’s PRT Corridor to ease congestion

IG Drones has won a contract to survey Uttarakhand Metro Rail Project to build a PRT corridor, under the Neo Metro System, the country’s first such Project. The Neo Metro Project is aimed to construct state-of-the-art rapid transit systems in Dehradun, Haridwar, and Rishikesh within the next four years to ease traffic congestion. The Personalized Rapid Transit Corridor or PRT is being developed under the Mass Rapid Transit System (MRTS) that will link three cities– Haridwar, Rishikesh, and Dehradun. An initiative by the Government of Uttarakhand, the PRT Corridor project is anticipated to be completed by 2024 and seeks to offer world-class and state-of-the-art commuting. IG Drones will help prepare a Detailed Project Report (DPR) by surveying the project through high-tech drones. The company will employ domestically developed drones to conduct regular overview of the ongoing work progress on the ground. The drones are equipped with advanced sensors capable of capturing high-resolution images, videos, and additional data from the ground. This collected data is then processed through IG One, their proprietary software, which offers in-depth technical insights and analytics. These analytics enable real-time tracking of the project’s progress. Drones are increasingly prevalent in infrastructure projects, valued for their efficiency, precision, and cost-effectiveness. They not only diminish the reliance on manual labor but also result in significant time and cost savings. Their applications extend to surveying construction progress, assessing work quality, and identifying potential issues during the construction phase.
