Thames Bridge Drone Surveys at Long Reach

We work at Long Reach regularly, and river operations are the core of what we do. That combination of aviation and marine crew is what makes over-water work practical rather than theoretical. Small jobs are welcome; a single vessel pass is as valid a brief as a week of coverage.

Magnetic interference near steel structures at Long Reach is factored into the flight plan. Dual-operator setups let the pilot hold visual line of sight while the camera tracks independently. Battery and crew changes are planned around the window so nothing is lost mid-sequence.

Our crews hold marine VHF and stay in contact with river traffic while the aircraft is airborne. Documentation is available up front: permissions, marine insurance and the risk assessment. If wind or river conditions turn on the day, the pilot's call is final.

Deliverables come in the format your editorial or engineering team already works in. Talk to our skippers before you commit. They will tell you quickly whether the shot is achievable. We can hold a provisional tide window while you confirm internally.
