Sisk has appointed DroneDeploy to supply reality capture services on its 20-plus projects in the UK and the Republic of Ireland.
Sisk’s geospatial engineering programme with DroneDeploy has scaled rapidly, from initial pilot projects to a multi-year enterprise agreement covering capture with aerial drones and 360-degree cameras, according to DroneDeploy.
Its platform is now used across flagship developments, including Dublin’s Glass Bottle project and the Kex Gill road realignment scheme in Yorkshire, enabling Sisk’s teams to capture, analyse and share high-resolution site data for progress tracking, design verification and stakeholder communication.
DroneDeploy said Sisk’s use of its technology has improved project safety and coordination while reducing costs associated with manual surveys and site visits.
Cillian Kelly, head of digital project delivery at Sisk, said: “We see digital project delivery as a cornerstone of modern construction. DroneDeploy allows us to capture and interpret site data with a level of speed and accuracy that simply wasn’t possible before.
“This isn’t just about flying drones, it’s about transforming how we plan, collaborate and deliver projects. By embedding aerial reality capture into our daily operations, for traffic management, lifting operations, logistics and groundwork analysis, we’re not only improving efficiency and safety, but also reshaping how complex infrastructure and building projects are delivered across Ireland, the UK and Europe.”
Kieran Crowley, project director at Sisk, added: “The impact has been transformational. DroneDeploy gives us a real-time visual record of work in place – across phases, teams and sites. Whether it’s a road project in the UK or a life sciences campus in Ireland, we now have one platform to validate progress and collaborate effectively.”
DroneDeploy claims its technology is used on more than 3 million sites worldwide.
Last week, Sisk received clearance from the Irish competition authority to acquire Farrans Construction.
