In an Australian first, drones equipped with artificial intelligence are being used to map the maintenance needs of bridges across the state, starting with the Sydney Harbour Bridge.
"In NSW we have a network of over 6000 bridges, they've all got to be maintained, they've all got to be inspected." " 4100 elements that we need to inspect regularly, 485,000 square metres of steel and paint that needs to be inspected and maintained and that takes a lot of time and effort," Transport for NSW Director Roads Maintenance Jeremy Hards said.
The technology can render a three-dimensional map of the drone's surroundings to make it easier to check what needs to be maintained.
