S&T Project 1886 Final Report: Unmanned Aerial System (UAS) for Reclamation Bridge, Canal, and Infrastructure Inspections

Published by Bureau of Reclamation | Department of the Interior | Metadata Last Checked: January 06, 2026 | Last Modified: 2021-08-23T20:46:07Z
The Bureau of Reclamation’s (Reclamation) facilities are often in remote and hard-to-access locations with inaccessible components. Photos of our infrastructure, videos of our operations, and data for our infrastructure and the impacted environment are crucial to identifying potential issues, developing more effective operations, and providing a data framework for designs and other analyses. Using personnel inspections may entail safety and other risks. This investigation was to identify unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) that would be most useful to Reclamation for infrastructure inspection, surveying, and photogrammetric mapping projects, and to provide information on the process needed to procure identified UAS.
