Faculty of Civil Engineering University of Zagreb is oriented into 3 base roles: education, research and collaboration with education institution, industry and SMEs. The educational role is to make innovative place of learning and development for the next generation of undergraduate and graduate students who have interests in the disciplines of civil engineering. It works in partnership with industry, SMEs, scientific community and governmental institutions to earn as much as 50% of our revenues and to contribute directly to the benefit of economy and society. This is the main educational centre for the permanent education and training of all subjects included in civil engineering sector.
Structural Department has a wide range of activities among which is the Photogrammetry with camera copters (terms): „RPAS“ – Remotely Piloted Aircraft System, „UAV“ – Unmanned Aerial Vehicle, „MAV“ – Micro Aerial Vehicle. What Faculty provides is: quadro- & octocopter, full technology package with software suite for airborne Photogrammetry, comprehensive range of services, simple control: Position Hold, Coming Home, GPS; automatic camera stabilizer and active camera compensationtransferring live images to ground station, maximum flight stability – high-quality aerial images, acoustic and visual flight control and warning signs, computer-aided control of the copter condition. Applications of this is int he field of : inspection / monitoring, renovation, restoration high buildings, towers of churches, steel cables, cell towers, chimneys, wind power stations, landscape, cultural heritage, archaeology and int he field of 3D survey / 3D modelling doing recording of the spatial dana, construction progress monitoring. Another fields are: airborne media production and photography & film production, combining infrared inspection energy status can be obtained etc. UNIZAG has equipment for assessment and diagnosing of the residual mechanical
properties of historic materials and structures using visual inspection and NDT techniques. Company is active on the field of design projects as well as in training in field of structures and legal aspects of building and planing, contracts in construction sector, legal and technical aspects of cultural heritage reconstructions and reassignements. UNIZAG has organized also many professional meetings and it is main Croatian center for permanent education in field of Civil Engineering.
