Summary
The JOUAV CW-007 is a multi-function drone with highly emphasized precision in engineering applications like mapping and surveying. Equipped with a high-end GNSS system, the CW-007 supports centimeter-level accuracy, making it ideal for geospatial applications. It features a long flight endurance of up to 5 hours and a payload capacity of 8 kg, allowing it to carry a range of sensors including LiDAR, RGB cameras, and thermal sensors. The CW series provides highly extended aerial photography, LiDAR, and 3D modeling services that have massively enhanced the efficiency in project planning, monitoring, and analysis (He & Li, 2020). Using drones in civil engineering will expedite the delivery of a project, cut costs, improve safety, and reduce human errors. Drones are essential for providing detailed information about terrain, monitoring the environment, and tracking construction activities in real time. Additionally, they reduce the physical exposure of personnel to danger by accessing otherwise unreachable locations (Tang & Wang, 2019). The JOUAV CW-007's increased endurance and enhanced payload capacity make it capable of easily handling demanding tasks and improving the efficiency of large-scale infrastructure projects (He & Li, 2020). Drone integration into civil engineering workflows has proven to support better decision-making in keeping construction projects on schedule and within budget (Zhang & Zhang, 2021).
Thesis Statement:
The JOUAV CW-007 will easily integrate into the workflows of civil engineering and enhance the accuracy, efficiency, and safety of projects, reducing the overall project time while minimizing risks.
Support #1: Has a high level of technology to allow for higher accuracy of data collection
Support #2: Increases efficiency through reduction of time and effort necessary for site visits and traveling
Support #3: Minimizes risk, improving the safety of engineers
Counterargument: The high cost and maintenance of drones, and possible damages may lead to a longer project time, reducing efficiency.
