Case Study: Collins Earthworks improves site data sharing and faster decisions with Propeller Aero

Collins Earthworks streamlines site data sharing for 100+ users with Propeller

Collins Earthworks, a major UK earthworks specialist, faced a significant challenge in sharing and processing drone-captured survey data. Their data was siloed, with processing and distribution acting as a bottleneck that slowed down decision-making across commercial, estimating, and site operations teams. This led to delays as teams waited on engineers for progress updates and volumetric calculations.

By implementing Propeller's drone data platform, Collins Earthworks democratized access to site information. Over 100 users across the company now use Propeller's self-service tools for measurements, design overlays, and progress tracking. The solution from Propeller eliminated bottlenecks, saved engineers substantial time, sped up commercial workflows, and provided a verifiable visual record used to resolve disputes on major projects like the Northampton Gateway rail interchange.
