Stockpile & Volumetric Surveys in DA18
Our stockpile & volumetric surveys crews work DA18 and the districts around it throughout the year.
If your site falls in DA18, our stockpile & volumetric surveys team can plan and fly it under existing CAA permissions. We are as comfortable on a single house as on a multi-acre site. Where you need stills and video, they come from one visit rather than two.
We shoot stockpile & volumetric surveys to be used, not to fill a gallery. Knowing where you can legally launch in DA18 saves a wasted mobilisation. Clients in DA18 often have sites elsewhere in Dartford, and we can cover both on one mobilisation.
Any DA18 flight close to controlled airspace gets NATS or ATC coordination arranged in advance. We carry enough kit to change approach on site if conditions demand it. Nothing is flown until the paperwork and the brief agree with each other.
All flights are logged, and we keep the records available for your compliance file. Repeat visits to DA18 are delivered to a consistent spec so the set matches. If anything changes between quote and flight, you hear it from us first.
Because DA18 runs down to the river, work here often means flying over water. We hold marine insurance and coordinate with the PLA and London VTS on any riverside operation.
What's Included
Thames Riverside Expertise
Because DA18 is adjacent to the River Thames, operations here may require specialist maritime knowledge. We coordinate with the Port of London Authority (PLA) and provide highly experienced river skippers when required.

Frequently Asked Questions
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.
How much notice do you need for a booking in DA18?
A few days is comfortable for most DA18 sites, and we can often cover urgent work at shorter notice. Jobs needing NATS or ATC coordination, or access to a restricted site, need longer, and we will flag that as soon as we see the brief.
Can you work around a live site in DA18?
Yes. We plan around access routes, working hours and pedestrian movement, and can schedule flights for quieter windows to keep ground risk down. Cordons and marshalling are agreed in advance rather than arranged on the day.
