Thames Drone Surveys in Battersea

We work in Battersea regularly, and river operations are the core of what we do. Our pilots hold marine radio and work directly alongside skippers during the flight. We are used to working alongside vessel crews, ground units and marshals already on site.

Magnetic interference near steel structures in Battersea is factored into the flight plan. We fly marine-configured aircraft rated for the wind speeds the river corridor regularly produces. Where the site is a live wharf or works, we operate to the principal contractor's permit system.

Coordination with the Port of London Authority is standard on every flight in Battersea. Emergency landing points are identified on the bank or on a vessel before take-off, never improvised. If the airspace or the PLA position makes the job impossible, you hear it at the enquiry stage.

If weather or tide closes the window, we rebook the next viable slot at no extra cost. Contact our marine desk with the Battersea brief and we will confirm the tide windows that work. We can point you at Thames projects where we have done something similar.
