Thames Bridge Drone Surveys at Gravesend Reach

UAS London covers Gravesend Reach as part of our tidal Thames operating area. Our crews pair CAA-licensed drone pilots with working river skippers who read tide, traffic and weather off the water rather than off a map. We can attend a pre-start or toolbox meeting where the project requires one.

We check tide state, river traffic and bridge clearances before fixing a date at Gravesend Reach. Platforms are chosen for wind resilience and over-water redundancy rather than convenience. 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 at Gravesend Reach. Our pilots hold advanced CAA permissions covering congested river corridors and historic crossings. Our river risk assessments are written to be read, not to satisfy a filing requirement.

Where the tide window is tight, we plan the shot list so nothing depends on a second visit. Ask us about vessel support for Gravesend Reach, since we can arrange MCA-coded platforms through Cinecraft. We can hold a provisional tide window while you confirm internally.
