Construction & Mining Drone Fleet Operations

Lydos Air provides structured drone deployment for construction sites, open-pit mines, container ports, and industrial facilities. Site progress surveys, stockpile volumetric monitoring, and multi-zone surveillance missions operate through a 20-phase lifecycle with ISO 45001-aligned safety-zone geofence enforcement. Every flight in an active site environment is subject to dynamic exclusion-zone validation and KSL-signed launch authorisation — preventing unauthorized overflights of active machinery or worker areas.

Mission Scenarios

MB-CON-01Mission Brief
REV A

Site Progress Inspection

Periodic aerial surveys documenting construction progress across large-scale sites — commercial developments, infrastructure projects, road corridors. Each mission captures a consistent photo and video record from fixed vantage points. Successive surveys feed change-detection comparison workflows that surface progress deviations against project schedule milestones.

Stockpile Volumetric Monitoring

Routine aerial surveys of aggregate, ore, and overburden stockpiles in open-pit mines, quarries, and container ports. Photogrammetry pipelines process the captured imagery into centimetre-grade digital terrain models, from which stockpile volume is calculated and compared against inventory records. Mission frequency is configurable per stockpile category.

Multi-Zone Site Surveillance

Simultaneous aerial surveillance of multiple work zones within a large construction or industrial site — active excavation areas, structural erection zones, material laydown yards, and perimeter security sectors. Multiple UAVs operate under a shared oversight view; zone completion and anomaly counts are correlated in real time.

Safety Zone Preflight Validation

Before every flight in an active construction or mining environment, the platform executes 13 automated preflight checks including dynamic geofence verification against current exclusion zones, airspace conflict assessment, and worker-proximity safety buffer enforcement. Safety zone boundaries are updatable between missions without modifying the base mission plan.

Regulatory Alignment

COMP-CON-01

ISO 45001 Occupational Safety Zoning

Mission templates for construction and mining sites include configurable safety buffer zones aligned with ISO 45001 occupational health and safety requirements. Geofence enforcement prevents drone flight over active worker areas unless a qualified operator explicitly overrides with a KSL-signed authorisation.

FAA Part 107 / EASA SORA Specific

Construction site drone missions operate under FAA Part 107 commercial rules in US airspace and EASA SORA Specific category in European airspace. The platform's preflight validation, Remote ID metadata capture, and multi-operator approval workflow align with both frameworks.

ACTIVE
COMP-CON-03

NIST FIPS 204 ML-DSA Command Signing

Every mission launch and safety-override command is signed with the operator's device-bound ML-DSA key. This prevents unauthorized mission execution in safety-sensitive environments where an unsigned command could place a drone over active heavy machinery.

Data Sovereignty / On-Premise Residency

Volumetric survey imagery, digital terrain model data, and progress comparison records are stored within the operator's on-premise deployment. Proprietary site geometry and stockpile inventory data do not transit third-party cloud infrastructure.
