Platform enhances progress tracking, design verification, and stakeholder communication
Sisk, one of Ireland’s largest construction and engineering companies, is using DroneDeploy’s reality capture platform to enable faster inspections, higher data accuracy and real-time visibility across 20+ projects in Ireland and the UK.
Sisk’s geospatial engineering program has scaled from initial pilot projects to a multi-year enterprise agreement covering capture with aerial drones and 360 cameras.
The DroneDeploy platform is now used across flagship developments including Dublin’s Glass Bottle project and the Kex Gill road realignment scheme in Yorkshire, helping teams capture, analyse and share high-resolution site data for progress tracking, design verification and stakeholder communication.
From automated earthworks analysis to aerial progress tracker and logistics planning, Sisk’s use of DroneDeploy has reportedly improved project safety and coordination while reducing costs associated with manual surveys and site visits. According to DroneDeploy, unified visual data enables Sisk to align subcontractors, design teams and owners around a single source of truth.
“DroneDeploy allows us to capture and interpret site data with a level of speed and accuracy that simply wasn’t possible before,” said Cillian Kelly, head of digital project delivery at Sisk.
“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.”
“The impact has been transformational,” said Kieran Crowley, project director at Sisk. “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.”
