Thames Aerial Imagery at Barn Elms Reach

Barn Elms Reach is a stretch of the tidal Thames our crews know well. We supply broadcast media, survey data and structural inspection imagery from the same operating base. We quote per project, because a river job depends far more on access and tide than on the service name.

Where the Barn Elms Reach flight passes near bridges or moorings, we plan clearances and abort routes first. Where the shot demands it, we launch and recover from an MCA-coded support vessel. We keep the ground and deck footprint small so the operation stays clear of working crews.

We notify the PLA and maintain contact with London VTS throughout operations at Barn Elms Reach. Risk assessments for river work are site-specific and account for tide, traffic and public access. Privacy on the bank is considered in the flight plan, not left to the edit.

Survey data from Barn Elms Reach is processed and returned within two working days. Talk to our skippers before you commit. They will tell you quickly whether the shot is achievable. Tell us the deadline first, because on the river it decides almost everything else.
