SiA Pietrucha Sp. z.o.o. is a Polish company within the plastic processing industry (civil and water engineering) established in 1960 as a family business. The company is currently a major player, both in Poland and abroad, in the production of geotechnical profiles, georids, and flood protection systems. The development of the company is based on the implementation of innovative technologies and new, or considerably improved, products. At the moment, the company is finishing R&D work co-funded by the National Centre for Research and Development. It is related to a system under construction dedicated to the management and inspection of construction sites. The system consists of several key components. These include the already designed and built crewless aircraft capable of swarming. Furthermore, the system also comprises mobile wireless charging stations adjusted to autonomous docking. An important complement to the system is an array of sensors to monitor elements of the infrastructure and moving objects, for example, construction workers. The integration of all components responsible for mission planning and measurement data processing is the task of a special user software.
