Civil Engineering Drone Surveys in SE18

UAS London provides civil engineering drone surveys across the SE18 postcode district, under CAA operational authorisation and £10M public liability cover.

SE18 is well within our operating radius, so mobilising a crew there is straightforward. Work here covers marketing, records, planning support and condition monitoring. Budgets and deadlines are easier to design around when we know them early.

The point of civil engineering drone surveys is usually a decision someone else needs to make. Knowing where you can legally launch in SE18 saves a wasted mobilisation. SE18 shares its airspace picture with the rest of South East London, which we already know well.

We confirm what permissions the SE18 site needs before anything is booked in. Kit is chosen per brief, from sub-250g aircraft for tight spaces to RTK platforms for centimetre accuracy. Residents and neighbouring occupiers in SE18 are given notice where the operation warrants it.

Site inductions and permit systems are no obstacle; we work to them routinely. Raw files come back the same day, with edited output typically inside 24 to 48 hours. You get one point of contact from enquiry through to delivery.

A good deal of SE18 looks onto the tideway, which is where most of our flying hours have been logged. We plan around the tide, keep a radio watch on river traffic, and notify the PLA before the crew arrives.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are you insured, and can we see the certificate?

Yes. We carry £10M public liability insurance and can send the certificate, our CAA operational authorisation and a job-specific risk assessment before the booking is confirmed.

What do we actually receive at the end?

That depends on the brief: graded video, high-resolution stills, orthomosaic maps, 3D models or an inspection report. Raw capture is handed over on the day and finished output follows by secure cloud transfer.

Can you fly indoors or in enclosed spaces?

Yes, with sub-250g aircraft and appropriate planning. Enclosed and confined spaces need their own risk assessment and often a different platform, so tell us about the environment early and we will confirm what is workable.
