Thames Marine Civil Filming at King's Reach

Specialist over-water thames marine civil filming at King's Reach for marine engineering, logistics, and creative media.

Recent Work

Selected work from across London and the Thames.

UAS London delivers thames marine civil filming at King's Reach on the tidal River Thames. We supply broadcast media, survey data and structural inspection imagery from the same operating base. We can attend a pre-start or toolbox meeting where the project requires one.

Magnetic interference near steel structures at King's Reach is factored into the flight plan. Output can be broadcast-ready ProRes, high-bitrate RAW, or georeferenced survey data. Flights are kept tight, because on the river loiter time costs you the tide rather than buying better footage.

Riparian landowners and pier operators at King's Reach are contacted ahead of the date. Crews are water-safety trained as well as CAA-licensed. Anything we cannot legally do on the river, we say before you book rather than after.

Where the tide window is tight, we plan the shot list so nothing depends on a second visit. Contact our marine desk with the King's Reach brief and we will confirm the tide windows that work. There is no obligation attached to an enquiry.

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.

Are you insured for flying over water?

Yes. We carry £10M public liability insurance written to cover over-water operations, and can provide the certificate along with our CAA authorisation and a job-specific risk assessment before booking.

What does river work at King's Reach cost?

It depends on tide windows, whether vessel support is needed and what you want delivered, so we quote per project. Send the brief and the deadline and we will come back with a fixed price and the viable tides.
