Thames Towage Filming at Nine Elms Reach
Specialist over-water thames towage filming at Nine Elms Reach for marine engineering, logistics, and creative media.
Recent Work
Selected work from across London and the Thames.
Nine Elms Reach is a stretch of the tidal Thames our crews know well. Projects run from a two-hour tide window to a scheduled programme across a construction phase. Stills and video come from the same tide window rather than two separate mobilisations.
Flight planning at Nine Elms Reach accounts for wind funnelling along the river and around structures. Cinema, inspection and mapping payloads can all be flown on the same tide window. Battery and crew changes are planned around the window so nothing is lost mid-sequence.
Coordination with the Port of London Authority is standard on every flight at Nine Elms Reach. We can supply method statements for the principal contractor's file where the site requires it. If the airspace or the PLA position makes the job impossible, you hear it at the enquiry stage.
Edited video, stills, orthomosaics and inspection reports follow the flight within 48 hours. Ask us about vessel support for Nine Elms Reach, since we can arrange MCA-coded platforms through Cinecraft. There is no obligation attached to an enquiry.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does river work at Nine Elms 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.
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.
What deliverables can you provide from Nine Elms 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.
