2025: GOST approval
GOST regulating the use of unmanned aircraft systems in construction for geodetic work, approved in Russia. The document establishes uniform requirements for methods of working with unmanned systems and is aimed at their unification. This became known on February 6, 2025.
According to the press service of Rosstandart, we are talking about GOST R 71886-2024 "Unmanned aircraft systems in construction, used for the manufacture of geodetic work. General requirements, "designed to unify modern methods of geodetic work in construction, including engineering and geodetic surveys, using unmanned aircraft systems. The new standard was developed as part of the national project "Unmanned Aerial Systems" to achieve the country's technical sovereignty in the field of drone creation.
Deputy Prime Minister of Russia Marat Khusnullin emphasizes the prospect of using drones to monitor construction, control safety, transport of goods and perform geodetic work with high accuracy.
The Minister of Construction and Housing and Public Utilities of Russia Irek Fayzullin notes that unmanned systems allow you to obtain more accurate data, quickly examine large areas and work in areas with complex terrain. The standard establishes the requirements for assessing the accuracy of data and the safety of work.
Director of FAA "FCS" Andrei Kopytin informs about amendments to the code of rules SP 126, which regulates geodetic work. Provisions have been added for the use of laser scanning systems, aerial photography processing and remote monitoring.
More than 30 specialized organizations participated in the development of the standard. Among the advantages of unmanned systems are the ability to shoot from low heights for detailed images and reduce the impact on the ecosystem compared to traditional ground shooting methods.
According to experts, the use of drones for engineering and geodetic surveys can reduce the time and construction costs by up to 10% in the implementation of investment and construction projects.[1]
