Thames Marine Civil Filming at Chiswick Reach
Specialist over-water thames marine civil filming at Chiswick Reach for marine engineering, logistics, and creative media.
Recent Work
Selected work from across London and the Thames.
Thames Marine Civil Filming at Chiswick Reach is routine work for our Thames crews. We work for towage operators, passenger vessel companies, civil contractors and production teams. Repeat work at Chiswick Reach keeps the same crew wherever scheduling allows.
Where the Chiswick Reach 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.
Riparian landowners and pier operators at Chiswick Reach are contacted ahead of the date. Documentation is available up front: permissions, marine insurance and the risk assessment. If wind or river conditions turn on the day, the pilot's call is final.
Edited video, stills, orthomosaics and inspection reports follow the flight within 48 hours. Share the brief and we will confirm crew availability against the tide table the same day. Most enquiries get a same-day response.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you film moving vessels at Chiswick Reach?
Yes. Vessel tracking is a large part of our river work, from towage and workboat operations to passenger craft. Dual-operator crews let the pilot manage proximity and line of sight while the camera operator holds the shot.
Do you work with the vessel operator directly?
Yes, and it makes a noticeable difference to the result. Given the skipper's contact we coordinate the passage and the shot list directly, so the vessel is where the camera needs it rather than the other way round.
Do you need Port of London Authority approval to fly at Chiswick Reach?
Any professional drone operation on the tidal Thames, including Chiswick Reach, requires notification to and coordination with the PLA and London VTS. UAS London manages those clearances as part of the service.
