Thames Drone Surveys in Putney
Specialist over-water thames drone surveys at Putney for marine engineering, logistics, and creative media.
Recent Work
Selected work from across London and the Thames.
Putney is a stretch of the tidal Thames our crews know well. The work ranges from single vessel shoots to multi-day coverage of marine civil projects. Where the river is busy, patience beats improvisation, and we plan for it.
We identify launch and recovery points in Putney that work at the state of tide on the day. Where the shot demands it, we launch and recover from an MCA-coded support vessel. We can work outside normal hours where river traffic or light demands it.
We keep the river authorities informed from planning through to the end of the flight. Failsafe return-to-home points account for drift, tide and a moving launch platform. We hold the separation the regulations require from anyone not under our control.
Delivery is by secure cloud transfer with the raw capture archived as backup. Tell us what you need on the water and we will come back with options, tides and a price. We can point you at Thames projects where we have done something similar.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who owns the footage from the Putney shoot?
Licensing is agreed before the flight and written into the quote. Tell us whether the material is for broadcast, marketing, an operational record or a planning submission and we scope the licence accordingly.
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.
Can you fly at night or in low light on the river?
Yes. Night and blue-hour work over the Thames is something we do regularly, with the lighting conditions and additional risk factored into the plan. Twilight often gives the strongest results on the tideway.
