Thames Brand Activation Filming at Greenwich Reach

Specialist over-water thames brand activation filming at Greenwich Reach for marine engineering, logistics, and creative media.

We run drone operations at Greenwich Reach throughout the year, in all tide states. That combination of aviation and marine crew is what makes over-water work practical rather than theoretical. 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 Greenwich Reach. We carry redundant airframes so a marginal weather window is not a wasted mobilisation. Battery and crew changes are planned around the window so nothing is lost mid-sequence.

Where the Greenwich Reach flight affects navigation, we coordinate directly with vessel operators. Emergency landing points are identified on the bank or on a vessel before take-off, never improvised. We hold the separation the regulations require from anyone not under our control.

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. We can hold a provisional tide window while you confirm internally.

Frequently Asked Questions

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.

Can you film moving vessels at Greenwich 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 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.
