BBC One Show filming of the Marble Racing at Merthyr Mawr, Sand Dunes, Bridgend, Wales, with One Show science presenter Marty Jopson
It was a baking hot day so ideal for spending on the beach along with all the other folk that were involved in the production of this fun piece regarding the construction of a sand marble rally course. Plenty of our drone footage was included and we feel it was perfect for sharing the scale of this project with the viewer – an aerial perspective shows off the size of the course brilliantly in a way that a ground perspective wouldn’t have been able to do.
Always lovely to see your work on the television, especially when it is part of one of the BBC’s flagship shows – the One Show. This was such a fun project to be a part of and I really enjoy the variety that working alongside the team provides in terms of cinematography.
How Often Should Commercial Solar Panels Actually Be Inspected?
How often should a commercial solar array be inspected? The published guidance gives more than one answer. IEC TS 62446-3 recommends four years and defers to the owner, MIS 3002 points to a full maintenance visit every two years, and RC62, the UK insurers' own code of practice, recommends thermographic examination as part of the maintenance regime. This post sets out what each says, then what should decide the interval for a particular roof: age, history, fire load and change.
Dew Point in Building Thermography: Why Condensation Decides the Survey Window
The dew point is the temperature at which air saturates and water condenses onto a surface. The cold, clear, still nights that suit building thermography are the same nights that drive roofs below it, and a roof carrying dew shows the camera a film of water rather than its own temperature pattern. This article explains what the dew point is, what condensation does to a thermal image, and how an aerial survey is timed so the building is read while it is dry.
What a Solar PV Thermal Survey Needs From You Before the Spring Booking
A spring solar survey is booked around the weather, but much of what decides its value is settled by the client before anyone checks a forecast. This piece sets out what Drone Media Imaging asks for ahead of a solar PV thermal survey, from the string layout and plant records to access, operating status and a contact on the day, why each item changes how firmly the findings can be written, and how a weather-held booking works across the season.
