Drone Media Imaging is a specialist UAV drone service provider, operating from the South East of the UK, but ready and able to deploy across the UK and Ireland.

We are licensed and certified with a CAA Operational Authorisation (OA) for sub 25kg category DAY and NIGHT flights.

With a background and reputation built over many decades in professional commercial photography, we re-trained and re-invested in our business back in 2015 so that we can now provide competitive aerial drone services across many industry sectors. We are also qualified and certified to provide thermal imaging data, not just in the air but also on the ground to cover solar panel inspections, flat roof, and structural water ingress/damage, and building insulation and thermal bridging analysis.

Drone Media Imaging’s pilots are CPL-uS qualified and liability insured. We adhere strictly to guidelines, procedures, planning practices, and risk assessment necessary to ensure the safety of staff, properties, and the general public, as well as to comply with the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) legislation, rules and regulations.

Aerial drone photography, video and thermal imaging are not as expensive as you might think and we won’t be beaten on price for comparable service and experience!

Drone Environmental Thermal Imaging for Solid Waste Landfill Sites

By |Tags: , , , , , , , , , |

The use of drones equipped with thermal imaging cameras has revolutionized fire safety measures in solid waste landfill sites. These drones can detect temperature variations and hotspots, allowing operators to identify areas at risk of combustion and take proactive measures to prevent fires. Additionally, thermal imaging technology can detect thermal emissions and chemical and physical parameters, providing valuable data for monitoring and managing landfill sites. This technology has already shown promising results, reducing the number of fire incidents in landfill sites and minimizing environmental impact and health risks. As the technology continues to advance, drone environmental thermal imaging is expected to become an indispensable tool in solid waste landfill site management.

Enhanced Operating Permissions Granted by the CAA

Drone Media Imaging has been granted enhanced drone operating permissions from the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) known as an ‘Operating Safty Case‘ or OSC, which puts us in an exclusive and advanced group of drone operators.

Less than 5% of drone operators currently have such permissions in the UK. Our enhanced permissions allow us to take-off, land, and fly closer to People, Properties, Vehicles and Vessels not under our control, as well as fly above 400ft to 800ft. Standard permissions now called, Operational Authorisation PDRA-01 (previously known as Permission for Commercial Operations PfCO) that the CAA grant normal drone operators are much more restrictive.

Drone Operators with CAA OSC Permissions

Operating under an UAS-OSC for your project is just as straight forward as for any other drone flight mission. The key difference is in the onsite procedures we deploy, safety planning implemented and research completed beforehand. The cost can vary considerably when there is a need to operate under an OSC and is very dependent upon the work required. So the first thing to do is to start a conversation with us about the project, survey/inspection, filming or photography you need to be completed and we can advise you if an OSC is needed in the first place, or whether the work can be completed under standard permissions.
