Thames Bridge Drone Surveys in Chelsea
Specialist over-water thames bridge drone surveys at Chelsea for marine engineering, logistics, and creative media.
Thames Bridge Drone Surveys in Chelsea is routine work for our Thames crews. We supply broadcast media, survey data and structural inspection imagery from the same operating base. Small jobs are welcome; a single vessel pass is as valid a brief as a week of coverage.
Where the Chelsea flight passes near bridges or moorings, we plan clearances and abort routes first. RTK platforms are available where the deliverable is a measurement rather than an image. We keep the ground and deck footprint small so the operation stays clear of working crews.
Coordination with the Port of London Authority is standard on every flight in Chelsea. Crews are water-safety trained as well as CAA-licensed. If wind or river conditions turn on the day, the pilot's call is final.
Where the tide window is tight, we plan the shot list so nothing depends on a second visit. Contact our marine desk with the Chelsea brief and we will confirm the tide windows that work. Tell us the deadline first, because on the river it decides almost everything else.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does river work in Chelsea 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.
How much notice do you need for river work in Chelsea?
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.
Are you insured for flying over water?
Yes. We carry £10M public liability insurance written to cover over-water operations, and can provide the certificate along with our CAA authorisation and a job-specific risk assessment before booking.
