Thames Bridge Drone Surveys at Greenwich Reach
Specialist over-water thames bridge drone surveys at Greenwich Reach for marine engineering, logistics, and creative media.
We work at Greenwich Reach regularly, and river operations are the core of what we do. Clients here include TV productions, marine contractors, port operators and engineering teams. If the shot is not achievable in the window you have, we will say so at the enquiry stage.
We identify launch and recovery points at Greenwich Reach that work at the state of tide on the day. RTK platforms are available where the deliverable is a measurement rather than an image. We can work outside normal hours where river traffic or light demands it.
Our crews hold marine VHF and stay in contact with river traffic while the aircraft is airborne. We can supply method statements for the principal contractor's file where the site requires it. We do not fly outside our permissions, whatever the production schedule says.
Turnaround is same-day for raw and 24 to 48 hours for finished output. Talk to our skippers before you commit. They will tell you quickly whether the shot is achievable. The quickest route is a short email with the location, the subject and the deadline.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do you manage wind and weather on the river?
The Thames corridor funnels wind and can be considerably rougher than the surrounding streets. We work to maritime forecasts and fly platforms rated to around 25 knots, so a marginal day does not automatically cost you the shoot.
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.
What deliverables can you provide from Greenwich Reach?
Broadcast-ready video, high-resolution stills, georeferenced orthomosaics of the bank and foreshore, 3D models, or written inspection reports. Raw capture is handed over on the day and processed output follows within 24 to 48 hours.
