Competitive Advantage
Propeller allows users to visualize survey data, create highly accurate measurements, and track the progress and productivity of earthwork operations. To ensure the most accurate results, Propeller processes survey data using a combination of cloud technology and trained GIS specialists.
Impact on Construction
Because Propeller is a cloud-based platform, my office team and I can access multiple worksites' surveys and progress data without having to go onsite. This allows us to monitor our earthwork operations and make better decisions based on highly accurate survey data.
Good for Project Managers
I use Propeller because it helps me identify where to work and what equipment is needed for that work. Plus, it tracks the progress of our earthwork operations.

The Final Word
by Blue Collar Labs
The Propeller Platform leverages drone technology with innovative visual analytics to capture, measure and identify earthwork progress on project sites. By using data-points from field surveys, Propeller helps construction companies visualize and process the work completed, and the work still left to perform. Not only used as a visual production tracking tool, Propeller converts images into 3D site models, enabling users to perform detailed calculations and measurements via their computers, thus providing a means for holding subcontractors accountable to quality control standards and timelines. We think this tool is a fantastic resource for both seeing the big pictures and understanding the details of any project's earthwork and mining operations.
