Thermal Imaging has many applications and the construction industry is beginning to harness its potential by using it during both construction and renovation processes to find faults and to establish compatibility with environmental standards. Roof inspections are a key component of this and the attachment of the thermal imaging camera to a drone or UAV makes these possible with minimal setup, safety risk, or danger of property damage.  The drone can bear the camera over the [...]

Drone flights over solid waste landfill sites are fast becoming accepted as an efficient way to conduct surveys over terrain that is often difficult and/or dangerous to navigate on foot. Couple this with the fact that you can put a drone in the sky for a lot less of a financial outlay than an airplane and making the most of this relatively new technology just makes good commercial sense. A drone can be the ideal eye in the sky [...]

Drones offer the potential to be of great assistance in the UK when it comes to fighting the increasingly expensive war on water waste through pipe leakage.  Anglian Water alone estimates the cost of water lost through leakage in their area to be in the region of £60 million so there is a strong financial as well as environmental incentive to cut the losses as fast as possible. A number of the water boards have already been using drones in [...]

Drones can prove to be a valuable tool in flood management, an increasing concern in the UK after the spate of flooding across the country in recent years, assisting both with standard and thermal imaging. UAVs can provide real-time imagery for fast and accurate reactions to a flood situation.  Also, each drone flight is tailored to the exact customer requirements so you can be sure that you will receive exactly the information you need rather than a general picture. [...]

The construction industry has been quick to adopt drones into their projects both as a planning tool, and a way of creating marketing materials that offer a bird's eye view of projects in a very visual way to potential clients. Landscape gardeners are now also beginning to take an interest in the photography and video opportunities that a UAV has to offer.  It's therefore only a matter of time before the swimming pool industry begins to leverage the powerful [...]

Drone Media Imaging - initial flight footage of a demolition project - MGM House in Worthing, West Sussex Demolition projects tend by nature to be large in area and difficult to photograph from ground level. Without a bird's eye view, potential clients may not get the full picture of the scale of your project and capabilities.  The cost of hiring a helicopter is prohibitive and ladders and basket cranes are limited in terms [...]

Whilst time lapse photography is a relatively well known thing, hyper lapse might be a little less familiar.  Essentially time lapse photography is taken from a single static point whereas hyper lapse involves movement to create a dynamic result. Both time lapse and hyper lapse sequences are possibly and indeed impressive, when created using UAV.  In fact, Drone Media Imaging can capture images using a mix of drone elevated mast and ground based photography to capture your project [...]
