Thames Bridge Drone Surveys in Kew
Specialist over-water thames bridge drone surveys at Kew for marine engineering, logistics, and creative media.
Flying in Kew means working over moving water, tidal range and live vessel traffic. Clients here include TV productions, marine contractors, port operators and engineering teams. Repeat work in Kew keeps the same crew wherever scheduling allows.
We identify launch and recovery points in Kew that work at the state of tide on the day. We fly marine-configured aircraft rated for the wind speeds the river corridor regularly produces. Light on the water changes fast, so we will suggest the state of tide and time of day that suits the subject.
Riparian landowners and pier operators in Kew are contacted ahead of the date. We carry £10M public liability insurance written to cover over-water operations. If the airspace or the PLA position makes the job impossible, you hear it at the enquiry stage.
We retain the raw river capture in case you need to return to it later. We are trusted on the river by operators including CPBS Marine Services, MMS Marine and the Dutch Master. If the tides do not work for your deadline, we will tell you rather than string it out.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you launch drones directly from boats in Kew?
Yes. Through our partnership with Cinecraft we have access to MCA-coded workboats and support vessels, and our pilots are experienced in launching and recovering from a moving deck.
How much notice do you need for river work in Kew?
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.
What deliverables can you provide from Kew?
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.
