Realization of the doubling of the railway line - Florence-Viareggio line, Pistoia-Montecatini Terme section.
Overall a work site over 4000 meters long, with the active railway line (with the exception of periodic and necessary scheduled temporary interruptions), which once completed will entail in addition to the doubling of the railway line, evident and profound modifications to the road network and to the surrounding urban net.
The company's need was to document the construction site progress with images and videos after about a year and a half from the beginning of works, to have an overall and dynamic view of the construction site and of the executed works. Out of these needs, the choice of using drones for documentation, which is better than any other tool, allowed from above to fix with particular attention not only the building progress but also containment and environmental protection works; the proximity of the construction site to urban areas, accessory other interventions, the urban aspect of the affected areas or which will be affected by significant changes in road network and the respect for nature's location.
