Hoping to get some insights regarding some surveying related questions I've received from a potential construction company client. In short, they often build near railway lines and must monitor the tracks to ensure they don't shift/move result of excavation or other construction activity.
They are currently using Total Station devices (stationary and robotic) and were looking into whether appropriately fitted drones could be used for this purpose.
Among their requirements are measurements to be accurate to within 1mm (i.e., if the tracks shift up or down, or side to side by 1mm, they must halt construction until the issue is resolved).
Would anyone happen to have any information/opinion on this subject?
