Can a drone spot a structural defect better than an inspector on a ladder? In this episode of AEC Perspectives, host Rachel Moore joins RS&H’s National Bridge Inspection and Preservation Leader, Corey Rogers, PE, and In-Service Bridge Inspector, Scott Brown, to explore how unmanned aerial systems are revolutionizing infrastructure maintenance.

We dive deep into the practical benefits of drone technology—from enhancing safety by keeping inspectors out of harm's way, to significantly reducing traffic disruptions and costs for bridge owners. Additionally, Corey and Scott break down the complex landscape of drone regulations, including the shift toward American-made technology and the rigorous safety protocols RS&H implements to stay ahead of compliance curves.

Tune in to discover how we are combining technical expertise with cutting-edge innovation to deliver safer, smarter, and more efficient inspection solutions for the future of our infrastructure.
