The integration of new technologies, such as drones, is revolutionizing work methodologies, offering new possibilities for the execution and management of infrastructure and minimizing human intervention in these jobs, with the increase in occupational safety and cost reduction that this entails. This study presents a comprehensive review of the literature on UAV applications for the monitoring and management of civil infrastructure. The applicability of UAVs and their connection with the main existing sensors and technologies are analyzed, such as visible cameras (RGB), multispectral cameras, and hyperspectral cameras, in the most relevant areas of civil engineering, such as building inspection, bridge inspection, dams, power line inspection, photovoltaic plants, inspection, hydrological studies road inspection, slope supervision, and the maintenance and monitoring of landfill operation. The impact and scope of these technologies are addressed, as well as the benefits in terms of process automation, efficiency, safety, and cost reduction. The incorporation of drones promises to significantly transform the practice of civil engineering, improving the sustainability and resilience of infrastructures.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/infrastructures10050106","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,24]],"date-time":"2025-04-24T08:08:41Z","timestamp":1745482121000},"page":"106","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":22,"title":["UAV Applications for Monitoring and Management of Civil Infrastructures"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"10","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0720-0844","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Alberto","family":"Villarino","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Construction and Agronomy, Construction Engineering Area, High Polytechnic School of \u00c1vila, University of Salamanca, 05003 \u00c1vila, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3762-1196","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hugo","family":"Valenzuela","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Escuela de Ingenier\u00eda Mec\u00e1nica, Pontificia Universidad Cat\u00f3lica de Valpara\u00edso, Quilpu\u00e9 2430167, Chile"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5713-1429","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Natividad","family":"Ant\u00f3n","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Construction and Agronomy, Materials Science and Metallurgical Engineering Area, High Polytechnic School of Zamora, University of Salamanca, 49002 Zamora, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2036-2685","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Manuel","family":"Dom\u00ednguez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mechanical Engineering, High Polytechnic School of Zamora, University of Salamanca, 49002 Zamora, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ximena Celia","family":"M\u00e9ndez Cubillos","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Opencadd Advanced Technology, Av.
