Thames Aerial Imagery in Silvertown

Specialist over-water thames aerial imagery at Silvertown for marine engineering, logistics, and creative media.

Recent Work

Selected work from across London and the Thames.

We work in Silvertown regularly, and river operations are the core of what we do. We supply broadcast media, survey data and structural inspection imagery from the same operating base. We are used to working alongside vessel crews, ground units and marshals already on site.

We identify launch and recovery points in Silvertown that work at the state of tide on the day. High-zoom and thermal payloads cover structural inspection of piers, bridges and river walls. A contingency window is built in wherever the shot depends on conditions.

Riparian landowners and pier operators in Silvertown are contacted ahead of the date. We carry £10M public liability insurance written to cover over-water operations. If wind or river conditions turn on the day, the pilot's call is final.

Delivery is by secure cloud transfer with the raw capture archived as backup. Get in touch to discuss thames aerial imagery in Silvertown and we will quote without obligation. The quickest route is a short email with the location, the subject and the deadline.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does river work in Silvertown 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.

Can you film moving vessels in Silvertown?

Yes. Vessel tracking is a large part of our river work, from towage and workboat operations to passenger craft. Dual-operator crews let the pilot manage proximity and line of sight while the camera operator holds the shot.

How much notice do you need for river work in Silvertown?

More than for a land-based shoot, because PLA notification and the tide table both constrain the date. A week or two is comfortable; tell us the deadline and we will tell you honestly whether it is achievable.
