Thames Drone Surveys at Barn Elms Reach
Specialist over-water thames drone surveys at Barn Elms Reach for marine engineering, logistics, and creative media.
Recent Work
Selected work from across London and the Thames.
Our thames drone surveys team is authorised and equipped for operations at Barn Elms Reach. The work ranges from single vessel shoots to multi-day coverage of marine civil projects. 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. Capture is in RAW throughout, leaving headroom for grading or photogrammetric processing. 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. All river flights are logged and the records remain available for your own compliance file. Abort criteria are briefed to the crew and the skipper before the first launch.
Survey data from Barn Elms Reach is processed and returned within two working days. We can assess the Barn Elms Reach site before you book if the feasibility is not obvious. We can point you at Thames projects where we have done something similar.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much notice do you need for river work at Barn Elms Reach?
More than for a land-based shoot, because PLA notification and the tide table both constrain the date. A week or two is comfortable; tell us the deadline and we will tell you honestly whether it is achievable.
How does the tide affect a shoot at Barn Elms Reach?
Tide decides what is visible, what is navigable and where we can launch and recover. We plan Barn Elms Reach operations around the tide table first and build the shot list around the window that gives you the best water.
What does river work at Barn Elms Reach cost?
It depends on tide windows, whether vessel support is needed and what you want delivered, so we quote per project. Send the brief and the deadline and we will come back with a fixed price and the viable tides.
