On the BR-386 highway widening project in Brazil, OEC (Odebrecht Engenharia & Construção) used drone surveys and the Maply platform to support construction monitoring. The case connects surveying, volume analysis and communication between project teams within an active construction setting.
In an article published by Odebrecht on 11 August 2025, Felipe Ferreira and Rozivan Bezerra describe the experience. The authors report operational and communication benefits associated with using drones and Maply on the project. The original account is available in Portuguese.
A reference for reviewing your own process
Comparing surveys from different dates can help communicate visible construction progress. Applying a measurement to another project requires an understanding of its capture date, reference surface, verified quality and intended use. OEC's reported experience does not establish a guaranteed outcome for every operation.
Read the full account for the authors' context and assessment before deciding which aspects are relevant to your team. Keep the role of progress information distinct from the technical approval of completed work.
