Thames Marine Civil Filming at Halfway Reach
Specialist over-water thames marine civil filming at Halfway Reach for marine engineering, logistics, and creative media.
Recent Work
Selected work from across London and the Thames.
Operations at Halfway Reach draw on both our aviation and our marine experience. Typical briefs cover vessel tracking, riverside development, bridge condition and event coverage. Small jobs are welcome; a single vessel pass is as valid a brief as a week of coverage.
Operations at Halfway Reach are timed to the tide and to gaps in commercial river traffic. Cinema, inspection and mapping payloads can all be flown on the same tide window. Flights are kept tight, because on the river loiter time costs you the tide rather than buying better footage.
We keep the river authorities informed from planning through to the end of the flight. Documentation is available up front: permissions, marine insurance and the risk assessment. Anything we cannot legally do on the river, we say before you book rather than after.
Survey data from Halfway Reach is processed and returned within two working days. Contact the operations desk to check dates at Halfway Reach and get a written quote. Tell us the deadline first, because on the river it decides almost everything else.

Frequently Asked Questions
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.
Do you need Port of London Authority approval to fly at Halfway Reach?
Any professional drone operation on the tidal Thames, including Halfway Reach, requires notification to and coordination with the PLA and London VTS. UAS London manages those clearances as part of the service.
How much notice do you need for river work at Halfway Reach?
More than for a land-based shoot, because PLA notification and the tide table both constrain the date. A week or two is comfortable; tell us the deadline and we will tell you honestly whether it is achievable.
