We were honoured to be asked to work with the BBC’s One Show team to assist in putting together an exclusive piece to accompany their interview with Gemma Dowler. Gemma has just written a book, My Sister Milly, speaking about her life and the trauma that her, and her family, went through when her sister was abducted and since.
We were to film in Yateley Heath Woods alongside the documentary crew, which is where Milly’s body was finally discovered six months after her disappearance. It was an undeniably beautiful woodlands although it has now of course been laced with sadness. We took time to capture the environment sensitively both through some of the woodlands and from an aerial perspective to contribute to that part of the her story.
It was a very a very difficult day for all of us…..
RIP …Milly Dowler
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.
