Thames Bridge Drone Surveys in Teddington

Specialist over-water thames bridge drone surveys at Teddington for marine engineering, logistics, and creative media.

UAS London delivers thames bridge drone surveys in Teddington on the tidal River Thames. Our pilots hold marine radio and work directly alongside skippers during the flight. Tell us the deadline early, because the tide table, not the diary, usually sets the date.

We identify launch and recovery points in Teddington that work at the state of tide on the day. We fly marine-configured aircraft rated for the wind speeds the river corridor regularly produces. Where bank access is restricted, we scout the approach before the crew and kit arrive.

We work to PLA requirements as a matter of course rather than as an afterthought. We can supply method statements for the principal contractor's file where the site requires it. Privacy on the bank is considered in the flight plan, not left to the edit.

We retain the raw river capture in case you need to return to it later. Ask us about vessel support for Teddington, since we can arrange MCA-coded platforms through Cinecraft. Quotes are fixed, not estimates that drift once the job starts.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who owns the footage from the Teddington 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.

What deliverables can you provide from Teddington?

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.

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.
