(SCTP Module) Facade Inspection With Unmanned Aircraft (Classroom and Asynchronous)
About This Course
This course is recommended for existing or potential unmanned aircraft pilots, professional engineers, facilities personnel, or anyone who intend to operate an unmanned aircraft for facade inspection. The purpose of this course is to provide applicants with theoretical knowledge in accordance with Building and Construction Authority (BCA) TR78-1/2, practical knowledge and competency to plan and execute façade inspection with Unmanned Aircraft (UA), perform defects analysis and operate a basic tethered UA system.
What the course will cover:
1. Identify issues related to Facade falling hazards, responsibility, periodic facade inspection and maintenance.
2. Identify types of facades in Singapore
3. Identify Common problems with façades.
4. Understand BCA’s Periodic Façade inspection requirements TR78-1/2.
5. Perform Basic Flight Planning and Risk Assessment.
6. Perform defects analysis with Artificial Intelligence (AI).
7. Generate sample Building Façade Inspection report.
8. Operate a basic tethered UA system.
