Thames Bridge Drone Surveys at Pool of London (Upper and Lower)

Specialist over-water thames bridge drone surveys at Pool of London (Upper and Lower) for marine engineering, logistics, and creative media.

Thames Bridge Drone Surveys at Pool of London (Upper and Lower) is routine work for our Thames crews. We work for towage operators, passenger vessel companies, civil contractors and production teams. If the shot is not achievable in the window you have, we will say so at the enquiry stage.

Magnetic interference near steel structures at Pool of London (Upper and Lower) is factored into the flight plan. Capture is in RAW throughout, leaving headroom for grading or photogrammetric processing. A contingency window is built in wherever the shot depends on conditions.

PLA notification, harbour master liaison and VTS contact for Pool of London (Upper and Lower) are handled in-house. We can supply method statements for the principal contractor's file where the site requires it. Where the public has access to the foreshore, the plan accounts for them explicitly.

We retain the raw river capture in case you need to return to it later. Talk to our skippers before you commit. They will tell you quickly whether the shot is achievable. There is no obligation attached to an enquiry.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you work with the vessel operator directly?

Yes, and it makes a noticeable difference to the result. Given the skipper's contact we coordinate the passage and the shot list directly, so the vessel is where the camera needs it rather than the other way round.

Can you launch drones directly from boats at Pool of London (Upper and Lower)?

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.

What deliverables can you provide from Pool of London (Upper and Lower)?

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.
