Transforming Footbridge Development to Enhance Community Access and Resilience Using Drone Technology

In response to the challenges posed by the rainy season in Kafulufulu, Wells for Zoë embarked on constructing a footbridge to facilitate access to essential services, including the local school. Leveraging innovative drone technology, the organization conducted aerial inspections of potential construction sites and utilized Pix4D software to generate detailed 3D maps. These maps aided in site selection, material measurement, and foundation planning, ensuring the bridge's stability, especially during adverse weather conditions. Despite logistical challenges, such as transportation limitations, the team completed the construction within 10 days, significantly improving community access and resilience.
