We were delighted to be invited to come and film alongside the team from the BBC’s The One Show down at the Swanage Railway.
We were part of an article that they were creating regarding the rejoining of the Swanage train station to the main railway line, something that’s been achieved through a huge amount of work by a team of volunteers in a large part. We were to provide aerial footage of the beautiful steam engine puffing its way along the route – the chocolate box Dorset countryside and you really couldn’t ask for a more picturesque backdrop.
A very friendly farmer allowed us to use his field as a takeoff and landing site as it was adjacent to the rail track, giving us the opportunity to get beautiful views of the train as it headed over from Corfe Castle towards Swanage. Then we moved off to Norden station where we were able to interact even more closely with the train as it left the current final station on the line, filming almost trackside to create rising views of the drone disappearing into the steam plumes as the engine chugged beneath.
Despite relatively high winds on the day, our Matrice and Inspire fleet of craft were more than equal to the task of creating stable and stylish footage to capture both the engine and the environment with plenty pieces of the footage being used in the finished piece on BBC 1.
What the ‘Dew Point’ means in building thermography
The dew point, a pivotal metric in weather prediction, marks the temperature at which air saturates upon cooling, impacting fog, dew, and precipitation likelihoods. Influenced by air temperature, humidity, and atmospheric pressure, it reveals condensation thresholds, vital for understanding weather patterns and climate shifts.
Why Now is the Perfect Time for Gutter Inspections
Drones have revolutionized various industries, and now it's time for gutter inspections to benefit from their power. With their ability to reach inaccessible areas, drones provide a cost-effective and efficient solution. By capturing high-resolution images and videos, they enable professionals to identify gutter issues promptly, preventing potential damage. Embrace this technology now for seamless gutter maintenance.
Thermal Bridging in Commercial Buildings
Thermal bridging in commercial buildings allows heat to escape or enter, increasing energy consumption and utility bills. It also leads to higher operational costs, maintenance expenses, and carbon emissions. Thermal imaging helps identify hidden thermal bridges, enabling targeted strategies to enhance energy efficiency and reduce costs.
