IG Drones to conduct survey of PRT Corridor for Uttarakhand Metro Rail Project

Dehradun, India (Urban Transport News): In a groundbreaking development, IG Drones, India's leading drone tech and analytics company, has been awarded a contract to survey the Uttarakhand Metro Rail Project. This initiative falls under the Neo Metro System, the country's first project of its kind. The Neo-Metro Project aims to implement state-of-the-art rapid transit systems in Dehradun, Haridwar, and Rishikesh within the next four years, addressing the escalating issue of traffic congestion.

Personalized Rapid Transit Corridor (PRT) under MRTS

As a part of the Mass Rapid Transit System (MRTS), the Personalized Rapid Transit Corridor (PRT) is a key component. This corridor will connect three cities – Haridwar, Rishikesh, and Dehradun, and is a flagship initiative by the Government of Uttarakhand. The PRT Corridor project is slated for completion by 2024, with a vision to provide world-class and state-of-the-art commuting solutions to residents.

IG Drones' Role in the Project

IG Drones will play a crucial role in the project by preparing a Detailed Project Report (DPR) through the utilization of high-tech drones. The company plans to deploy domestically developed drones equipped with advanced sensors, capable of capturing high-resolution images, videos, and additional data from the ground. The collected data will then be processed through IG One, their proprietary software, providing detailed technical insights and analytics.

Efficiency and Precision of Drone Technology

Drones have become increasingly indispensable in infrastructure projects due to their efficiency, precision, and cost-effectiveness. By reducing reliance on manual labor, they contribute to significant time and cost savings. IG Drones' technology allows for the real-time tracking of project progress, ensuring transparency and enhancing safety measures during construction.

Bodhisattwa Sanghapriya, the Founder and CEO of IG Drones, expressed delight in securing this prestigious contract, acknowledging the challenges of surveying a metro rail project in challenging terrains. Sanghapriya emphasized the company's commitment to leveraging the latest drone technology and software to provide comprehensive technical insights and analytics to government officials and regulatory bodies.

Technological Innovation

Notably, IG Drones has established itself as a leader in the industry, launching India's first 5G Drone earlier this year. The drone, named Skyhawk, is equipped with advanced sensors and artificial intelligence functionalities, making it suitable for various applications, including border surveillance, medical, and defense sectors.

With a track record that includes securing the Mumbai-Ahmedabad Bullet Train Project Surveying contract, IG Drones is positioned to play a pivotal role in advancing India's infrastructure development through cutting-edge drone technology.
