Thames Bridge Drone Surveys at Gallions Reach

Specialist over-water thames bridge drone surveys at Gallions Reach for marine engineering, logistics, and creative media.

Operations at Gallions Reach draw on both our aviation and our marine experience. We work for towage operators, passenger vessel companies, civil contractors and production teams. If the shot is not achievable in the window you have, we will say so at the enquiry stage.

River work at Gallions Reach is planned against live traffic information, not a generic river chart. 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.

Notices to mariners are checked before any Gallions Reach flight, and radio watch is kept during it. Risk assessments for river work are site-specific and account for tide, traffic and public access. Nothing goes up until the paperwork, the tide plan and the brief agree with each other.

Rushes can go out the same evening where a broadcast deadline requires it. Get in touch to discuss thames bridge drone surveys at Gallions Reach and we will quote without obligation. Ask for examples of comparable river work and we will send them over.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does river work at Gallions 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.

How does the tide affect a shoot at Gallions Reach?

Tide decides what is visible, what is navigable and where we can launch and recover. We plan Gallions Reach operations around the tide table first and build the shot list around the window that gives you the best water.

Do you carry out structural inspections on Thames bridges and piers?

Yes. We fly high-zoom and thermal payloads for close-range condition surveys of bridges, piers, river walls and marine civil works, and can deliver the output as an annotated report or georeferenced imagery.
