1. INTRODUCTION
A construction project can be defined as a
multi-organizational company, unique, temporary, and subject to the problem of
delivery to a specific site where several partners must be mobilized for a
given period Elghaish et al. (2021).
Other phenomena add to these characteristics and often contribute to the
complexity of projects: client needs that are sometimes imprecise and changing,
causing significant change costs; little overall learning because of few
repetitions; high risks due to novelty; technical, climatic and even societal
uncertainties; coordination and complex decision-making processes between the
teams involved; changing conditions of realization; etc. De Blois et al. (2016).
The construction sector is also characterized by a high fragmentation of the
entire value chain to which many stakeholders contribute. In addition to the
clients, there are teachers.
Although the data indicate a delay in the
construction sector in adopting advanced technologies Albeaino et al. (2019),
McKinsey Institute analysis indicates that Construction is one of the least
digitized sectors. Several ongoing initiatives suggest a gradual change in
practices in this industry, often considered traditional Mahajan (2021).
This change is driven by a concern to be in line with the innovations observed
at the international level and to respond to important national challenges:
workforce, competitiveness, sustainable development, etc. Digital
transformation is one of the preferred avenues to improve the sector's overall
performance over the long term Deloitte (2019).
This digital transformation is expressed in different ways. One of the
strong currents is based on the so-called concept of the fourth industrial
revolution based on drone technology utilisation.
This trend can be defined as the transition
from a realization and management centred on static sources of information
(e.g. plans and paper specifications) to completion and management based on a
source of information grouped and reusable for various purposes Poirier et al. (2018).
In the construction sector, the digital transformation, therefore, aims to
allow faster and more extensive access to information to increase the added
value at the different links in the value chain Roca et al. (2013).
Drones quickly proved their efficiencies in
the construction industry. This sector is one of the significant contributors
to the country’s economy, and the industry must adopt emerging technologies to
effectively manage construction projects and improve productivity and the value
chain Golizadeh et al. (2019).
It is suggested by the Associated General Contractors of America (ACG) that
UAVs can document the projects’ progress, providing a visual record capable of
reducing the later disputes between contractors and landowners; it can be
eventually used to carry tools and equipment from one location to another.
2. Literature Review
2.1. Deployment of Drone Technology in the Construction Industry
Digital technologies are being researched for various
applications, including procurement Ibem and Laryea (2014), participation in
major construction projects, construction safety and productivity enhancement Ibrahim (2013). Numerous
different studies concentrate on specialized technologies like sensors and the
Internet of Things (IoT) Woodhead et al. (2018),
construction
robotics unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV)
or drones Albeaino et al. (2019), fully
interactive, significantly improved, and mixed realities Martinez et al. (2020) Since the
increasing penetration of drones on the workplace only a few years ago, the
construction sector has experienced significant changes and advances.
Substantial improvements have been made to improve various procedures on a
construction project, altering how we approach project implementation. Site
monitoring, which encompasses responsibilities ranging from aerial photography
to inspections and tracking, has been one of the most notable applications of
drones in Construction Yoo (2021).
Every
year, the number of cases of using drone technology in building designs grows.
The brand-new approaches for characterizing drones during flight became the
most important significant part Devers et al. (2019). With
these technologies, building companies may handle the information collected by
their drones to demonstrate techniques and provide features for construction
management related to Estimation, Survey, Performance Monitoring, Site
Monitoring, Quality Assurance, and Safety Organizational reports. Drones
are an innovative technology with enormous opportunities to transform future
and existing construction industry demands and practices, offering amazing
cost, time, industrial perspective for managers, and construction quality
advantages over traditional approaches [16]. In
the construction industry, aerial vehicles have been practiced inspecting
expressways, flyovers, road systems, cell towers, greater mast bright lights,
wind turbines, power transmission lines, building façade and roof, survey and
geo-referencing, construction monitoring, wetland/environmental, drainage and
erosion, traffic monitoring, and emergency services etc. are a handful of examples
Motavwa and Kardakou (2018). Construction drones
offer builders an unmatched perspective of a site at a relatively lower price,
facilitating them to track problems, follow developments, and create better
plans on the spot. This mostly relates to labor,
material waste, site inspection, and total return on investment in construction
projects (ROI) Sawant et al. (2021). 3D surveying, 3D design, 3D ICT construction, and
3D inspection are the foundations of intelligent Construction, which is focused
on future building technologies in several nations.
Drones supply
helpful information, including 3D point cloud modelling, ecosystem function,
and asset inventory tracking for the building industry Poikonen and Campbell (2021). According to research
by McKinsey issued in 2020, disintegration will eventually become the new
normal. The COVID-19 crisis hastens large-scale transformation, which has
already commenced. According to McKinsey's analysis, the sector might seem a
little prominent in five to ten years. A recent
study has described how the Covid-19 pandemic affects project
performance in CI Sami
Ur Rehman et al. (2022). Researchers also
explained how to use DT to manage disasters and risks related to the pandemic
in the construction industry Zhou and
Gheisari (2018). A recent study
focused on the future directions of drone routing research, and the findings of
this research have been used in many drone applications utilizing various
models and kinds Husien et al. (2021). In a scenario with a labor scarcity, it is essential to discover strategies to
enhance construction sites' efficiency and lower the necessary labor force.
2.2. Adoption of Drone in other sectors
Furthermore, because drones are not affected by weather, these drones for irrigation are more cost-effective than satellites Yoo (2021). It has been shown that using drones to transport medical supplies is advantageous for the healthcare industry. Drugs and diagnostic kits for chronic illnesses can be distributed and picked up by drones Kim et al. (2017). Defense groups and technologically capable individuals have been using drone technology for a while. Many of the most hazardous and lucrative occupations in the business sector are ready to be replaced by drone technology as their accessibility increases Lee et al. (2020).
3. SYstematic review of the research in the field
The article explores the trends in the application of
drone technology in Construction. A systematic Literature Review has been
employed in the current study. A well-planned review is used to answer research
questions in a Systematic Literature Review. The studies' identification,
selection, and evaluation are made using a systematic and explicit methodology
in the Systematic Literature Review Paul
et al. (2021). The current study
focuses on a domain-based review using a Bibliometric review to analyse the
results Paul
et al. (2021). Systematic Procedures
and Rationales for Systematic Literature Review (SPAR 4 SLR) Model has been
used as a review protocol. There are three main stages in the SPAR 4 SLR Model. The research questions could be defined as
below: Figure 1
RQ1. What are the research trends in the application of drone technology in Construction?
RQ2: Benefits of using Drone in Construction Projects?
RQ3: Barriers in using Drones in Construction Projects?
Figure 1
Figure 1 Implementation of Systematic Literature Review according to SPAR-4-SLR Protocol |
The first stage is assembling, where relevant literature
is identified and acquired in the study domain. In the identification stage,
the articles on the theme" Drone Technology in Construction" were
searched from Scopus. The source type is set as Journal Publications. The
relevant materials have been acquired in the second substage of Assembling,
which is the acquisition stage. The search words are set at: "drone AND technology AND in AND construction"
for the title, abstract and keywords which generate around 302 documents.2015
to 2022 has been set as the publication year as the domain deals with
ever-changing technology. The sub-areas have been set as Business, Management
and Accounting and Engineering. Hence the search terms have been further
refined to TITLE-ABS-KEY (drone AND technology AND in AND Construction).
Seventy-three documents have been carried forward to the second stage of Arranging. Organization of articles is the first substage in arranging. Language, Type of document, publication stage and exact keywords were used in this stage as codes for organizing. These are done as per the guidelines proposed by Paul et al. (2021). The purification is the second sub-stage in the arranging phase, where the inclusion and exclusion criteria are mentioned. The inclusion criteria depend on the above organization codes. English is selected as the language of the selected articles considering the proficiency of the researcher." Article" is considered for document type, and the publication stage is set as "Final". The exact keywords have been further set based on the objectives of the study. TITLE-ABS-KEY ( drone AND technology AND in AND construction ) AND ( LIMIT-TO ( PUBSTAGE , "final" ) ) AND ( LIMIT-TO ( PUBYEAR , 2022 ) OR LIMIT-TO ( PUBYEAR , 2021 ) OR LIMIT-TO ( PUBYEAR , 2020 ) OR LIMIT-TO ( PUBYEAR , 2019 ) OR LIMIT-TO ( PUBYEAR , 2018 ) OR LIMIT-TO ( PUBYEAR , 2017 ) OR LIMIT-TO ( PUBYEAR , 2016 ) OR LIMIT-TO ( PUBYEAR , 2015 ) ) AND ( LIMIT-TO ( EXACTKEYWORD , "Drones" ) OR LIMIT-TO ( EXACTKEYWORD , "Antennas" ) OR LIMIT-TO ( EXACTKEYWORD , "ConstructionIndustry" ) OR LIMIT-TO ( EXACTKEYWORD , "Drone" ).
Around 50 articles were filtered based on the inclusion criteria as per the organization codes. Further purification has been done by filtering the articles based on the researchers' analysis of the abstract and title, which further screened the articles to 38. The total inclusion has been set at 31 after reading the full articles. According to Paul et al. (2021), the refined literature in the arranging stage is evaluated and reported in the assessing stage. As mentioned earlier, the analysis is done using a Bibliometric review.
4. RESEARCH TRENDS
Bibliometric analysis is used to analyse research trends
in drone technology in Construction. Performance analysis analyses the
publication trend, Top Countries, Top articles, and Top authors. Similarly,
Science Mapping analyses the authors' country collaboration and Co-occurrence
analysis. Bibliometric analysis has been done using Microsoft Excel, Biblioshiny and Vos Viewer. Table 1

The publication
trend of the articles in drones in Construction can be identified in Table 1 and Figure 2. It is noteworthy that the publication
trend has shown an amazing hike since 2018. In 2021 the number of articles
published in the domain of study had reached 11. By June 2022, the number of
articles published has reached 4. Hence it can be inferred that the researchers
are investigating various aspects of the use of drones in Construction.

Local and Global citations are used to analyse the top
articles in the domain of the study. From Table 2, it can be identified
that the article titled" Applications of
multirotor drone technologies in construction management" authored by Li
Y., Liu C. has received a global citation of 88, followed by "What are the
prospects for robots in the construction industry?" authored by Bogue with
a global citation of 66. The number of global citations indicates the topic's
wide acceptance and importance in academic research. The First article receives
five local citations. However, the number of local citations is comparatively
low, which reminds the researchers of the importance of local citation
analysis.
This table indicates the Top authors in the area of study.
Abrishami and Hosseini are the top authors with two
articles in " Drones in Construction". The remaining authors have
only a single article published related to the domain of study. The low number
of articles published by the authors specialized in the domain indicated that
there are still opportunities for researchers to explore and publish journal
articles in the domain in high-quality journals.

5. BENEFITS OF USING DRONES FOR CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS
As a remote sensing
platform, drones can potentially increase the efficiency of construction
project data acquisition by having much higher spatial and temporal resolutions
than other remote sensing techniques Zhou and
Gheisari (2018). In recent years, the use of drones has continued to increase, and
applications have continued to develop, opening up new perspectives for
environmental and wildlife management. The appearance of this technology has
several advantages in acquiring high spatial and temporal resolution imagery,
unlike conventional remote sensing platforms Yoo (2021).
The monitoring of project
progress is time-consuming concerning planning and scheduling. It is tedious
for site engineers to keep a real-time check on details on every corner. The use of drones will give real-time
evolution of the construction site and help stakeholders manage many sites by
knowing accurate dates and making good decisions in the optimal way Matus and Mesaros
(2019).
Besides, UAVs provide
high-quality images and maps for integrated and smooth communication with all
partners. It also provides invaluable help and cost savings with expansive
views of inaccessible and otherwise difficult and tough to navigate among locations
Dastgheibifard and Asnafi
(2018).
Large amounts of data can
be captured in a short time which will lead to saving the cost Sanson (2019). It allows easy integration into projects, tracking
site progress precisely, and handling lag time. The potential delays and issues
in projects can be avoided or minimized by effectively managing time and
resources Gheisari, And Esmaeili (2019).
The overhead view of the
construction sites can be seen using drone technology. Autonomous flying
machines are used by contractors to record videos that help them in planning. Matus and Mesaros
(2019), Dastgheibifard and Asnafi
(2018).
5.1. Safety
of workers in the Construction Site
Construction firms and
shareholders are naturally disturbed about on-the-job injuries and examine
methods to diminish risk. Drones perform surveys in unstable regions and
transport contractors away from high-risk zones where casualties may occur.
Drones are functioned remotely, which is useful for assessing places where
sending people would be too unsafe Yoo (2021), Zhou et al. (2018), Zhou and
Gheisari (2018).
Traditionally, the typical
technique of collecting site data was done on foot or with human aerial
vehicles. Construction experts have taken advantage of acquiring up-to-date
photos as often as they want in real-time by using drones and avoiding
dangerous workforce manipulation.
Using UAVs reduces deaths
and injury risks from Construction falls, toxic chemical exposures, electrical
hazards, or traumatic injury from vehicle and equipment collisions during
Construction. UAVs are advantageous in warning about unsafe situations in large
construction projects, from site preparation to project completion Dastgheibifard and Asnafi
(2018). The new technology can fly over the construction
site collecting real-time data from the location of personnel and equipment,
hazardous materials, moving equipment, as well as the blind spots of the
construction environment to prevent unsafe conditions before accidents happen.
Scope, Quality, Time, and
Cost are the main constraints of a project. Drone usage in the construction
sites will help the workers to enhance their performance and keep the project
on their Schedule. Moreover, this will increase the quality of the existing
work with less cost. Cost can be minimized from all aspects, such as lowering
the insurance costs and Quality Costs.
The insurance Costs can be reduced as the risks can be analyzed and mitigated
in the earlier stages. The Quality Costs, such as the cost of rework, repair,
or additional maintenance and inspection, can be reduced.
5.2. Project Risk Management
The construction sector
considers Risk management a crucial step in project planning and management.
Moreover, the construction sector is volatile and is affected by various
external factors. Usage of Drone can help the Project managers to mitigate the
risks in construction Projects to an extent.
A 360-degree view of the construction site and the entire building
structure can be provided by Drone technology. This will help the Project risk
managers to deal with any risk on the site before any safety hazards happen to
the employees. Any relevant financial risks can also be avoided as drones are
involved in the continuous monitoring and inspection of the Construction Sites.
Legal Risks can also be mitigated to an extent by using Drone Technology. The
issues related to new zones, lawsuits, and regulation changes can be
efficiently dealt with. The data recorded in the drone can be sued as evidence
to the authorities to solve legal issues, and the progress of the project can
also be tracked easily.
As many data streams are
provided by drones, such as still images, Video, LiDAR, the managers involved
in risk management can use the data of past projects to detect the risk factors
for the future projects
5.3. Project Resource Management
According to Keyvanfar et al. (2022),as the demand for drones is increasing in the
construction sector, software developers are involved in designing 3D Robots
using drone technology. According to the PwC estimate value of labor currently
being used will be replaced by drone technology by$128 billion. Hence, the use
of human resources can be replaced in the construction sector by drone
technology. However, Brusco (2022)have suggested that drones cannot replace the job of a
surveyor or an architect in construction projects. Drones can be added
resources in projects along with human resources, not a replacement for human
resources.
6. Findings and Recommendations
As a result
of this research, it is now conceivable that drones are part of the robots that
will revolutionize the industrialization of construction on site. Indeed, the
freedom of its movements gives it a substantial advantage over other robots.
Nevertheless, it is necessary to recall its limitations, which are not negligible
Branders, and Bruneau (2017). Its three main defects are its weight
limit to transport the heavy elements, its tolerance to deposit them and its
very low ability to act on an element already in place. Indeed, the drone (not
attached to a wall or other developed system) is a flying robot that has as
support only the air, which prevents it from exerting high forces on an object Delmonteil and Rancourt
(2018). This only allows it to lift limited loads
and move them without exerting force on other elements. The use of drones
forces the building elements to become small and easily interlocking again,
which goes opposite the industry.
Besides,
building with drones involves reviewing the building elements in order to meet
a major constraint: the vagueness of their positioning in space. The
construction process also needs to be reviewed as a drone is a robot and
therefore needs to be automated. Between 2017 and 2019, researchers focused on
3 main aspects: - The development of suitable building elements for transport
and placement by a drone, as well as their gripping system - The development of
the drone itself, its positioning system, and its technical aspects - The
design of an application to assemble a basic structure with simple elements and
the development of control algorithms for the construction process Custers (2017).
The use of
drones in construction sites would radically change the progress of
construction projects: it would bring to the site all their precision and speed
of execution, well exploited in factories Branders and Bruneau (2017). Combined with the intensive operation
(24/7), these strengths would shorten construction times and increase their
quality. However, the automation of construction sites is confronted with two
major problems: the mobility of robots and the uniqueness of the product to be
produced Gallet (2019). The drone is a possible solution to
this first problem but seems limited by other parameters such as the load it can
carry, its displacement tolerance and its ability to act on fixed elements Delmonteil and Rancourt
(2018).
Despite the speed of development of current technologies, it is unlikely
in the "near" future that robots will be able to build structures
without the help of workers.
The current research is a
Systematic Literature Review on the Deployment of Drone Technology in
Construction Projects. Future researchers can utilize quantitative or mixed
method approaches in the domain of study. Most of the articles in the study
domain analyse the benefits of using drone technology or evaluate the technical
aspects of using the same. Future researchers can analyse the following areas
in the domain:
·
Human resource
replacement of drones in projects can be a potential future research area.
·
Risk Management
of projects can be further studied in Construction projects.
·
Occupational
Safety and Health of Construction workers with the aid of drone technology can
be further analysed.
·
Feasibility
studies of using drone technology can be conducted in various other sectors.
7. CONCLUSION
It should be noted that the construction environment is far from being optimized: waste of materials, high labor costs, numerous inaccuracies and errors on site or the difficulty of shortening deadlines directly (and too much) dependent on human resources. That is when the idea of construction automation makes its way, as can be compared with the massive use of robots in the automotive industry. Using remotely controlled or programmed robots to perform a task autonomously can thus have many advantages and huge savings in Construction Projects. Thus, drones are a valuable technical advantage. Their usage in the construction sector will only grow in the future since they can quickly capture high-quality data and substantially reduce the danger to a project team's safety.
