The use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in the construction industry is swiftly growing worldwide. UAVs are changing the way construction companies do business. Contractors are increasingly using camera-mounted UAVs to monitor the full range of activities. Rapid advances in camera, sensing, aeronautics, battery and autopilot navigation technologies have helped make UAVs affordable, reliable and easy to operate. The US Federal Aviation Administration predicts that UAVs hold tremendous promise and commercial drone sales could increase from 600,000 to 2.7 million over the next four years. On the one hand, UAVs are extremely cost-effective in conducting aerial surveys, worksite surveillance, real-time inspections, and monitoring jobsite safety. On the other hand, with UAV ownership rapidly rising, the number of reported UAV safety, risk, and liability incidents is increasing. With this new technology use in the construction industry, construction companies must be aware of all regulations, legislations, privacy liability, and risks for construction related businesses. Operating a drone or hiring a subcontractor to operate it is not something to do on the spur of the moment. Emphasis and effort should be placed on safety, risk control, training and education. The goal of this paper is to provide construction professionals with timely and pertinent information on UAV use with a focus on risk management based on current industry practice, experience and literature review.

After a large number of oil spill, the plants will be dying and the land will not be plowing because of the oil infiltration in the topsoil, and polluted river or ocean killing oxygen to aquatic animals, and to polluting the air because of evaporation by sunlight exposure.…”

Abstract. The main body of PCOC (Petrochina Changqing Oilfield Company) is in the Ordos Basin, exploration with a total area of about 37 square kilometers, and whose exploration area is highly fragmented. The situation of the pipeline rupture emerge in endlessly as the result of natural conditions and human factors each year. The first sub-factory of PCOC is located in the Yishan Slope of the Ordos Basin in Yan'an, all of the region is hilly gully region, most of the oil pipeline is laying along the topography, which is difficult for labor patrol, UAV patrol is still in stage of testing. The STX-100 four rotor industrial-grade UAV has good performance, suitable for complex area of oil pipeline patrol work, can effectively relieve the staff.
