Atkins has been appointed to undertake monthly drone flights across Hinkley Point C, to provide survey data on the progress of construction at the nuclear power stations. Once a month, Atkins is using a multi-platform approach to survey the 180-hectare site, deploying its fixed-wing Wingtra drone to survey the entire site and multi-rotor drones to conduct localised surveys. With Extended Visual Line of Sight (EVLOS) permission granted by the Civil Aviation Authority, Atkins can conduct the survey from up to 650 ft above ground level, within a range of 1.5 km from the drone pilot. The increased altitude afforded by the EVLOS certification is particularly useful at Hinkley Point C, home to the world's biggest crane at 568 ft, which exceeds the standard drone surveying altitude permissions.
