Thames Towage Filming at Syon Reach

Specialist over-water thames towage filming at Syon Reach for marine engineering, logistics, and creative media.

Recent Work

Selected work from across London and the Thames.

Thames Towage Filming at Syon Reach is routine work for our Thames crews. Projects run from a two-hour tide window to a scheduled programme across a construction phase. Small jobs are welcome; a single vessel pass is as valid a brief as a week of coverage.

River work at Syon Reach is planned against live traffic information, not a generic river chart. Where the shot demands it, we launch and recover from an MCA-coded support vessel. Time on site is agreed in advance so vessel and shore teams can plan around it.

We keep the river authorities informed from planning through to the end of the flight. We can supply method statements for the principal contractor's file where the site requires it. Nothing goes up until the paperwork, the tide plan and the brief agree with each other.

Survey data from Syon Reach is processed and returned within two working days. Ask us about vessel support for Syon Reach, since we can arrange MCA-coded platforms through Cinecraft. If the tides do not work for your deadline, we will tell you rather than string it out.

Frequently Asked Questions

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.

Are you insured for flying over water?

Yes. We carry £10M public liability insurance written to cover over-water operations, and can provide the certificate along with our CAA authorisation and a job-specific risk assessment before booking.

Do you need Port of London Authority approval to fly at Syon Reach?

Any professional drone operation on the tidal Thames, including Syon Reach, requires notification to and coordination with the PLA and London VTS. UAS London manages those clearances as part of the service.
