Levitate-on-Thames
As part of our ongoing relationship with specialist civil and environmental engineers Land & Water, Levitate recently filmed their team in action constructing a new inter-tidal foreshore on the River Thames in Greenwich on behalf of Barratt London. The location provided the opportunity for some great background shots of Canary Wharf and the Millennium Dome. #aerialvideo #constructiondrones

Aerial filming at Harwich International Port
Levitate was commissioned to film dredging works at Harwich International Port for the new Galloper Offshore Wind Farm Operations and Maintenance base. It was fascinating to see the work in action with a smooth day's filming - apart from some unwanted attention from the local seagulls who weren't too impressed with the drone operating in their territory! #aerialvideo #constructiondrones #aerialphotography

New perspectives from aerial filming
Our video of the new Campbell Wharf Marina in Milton Keynes is the latest example of our aerial filming and editing work. The project has been a great example of the benefits drones can bring to construction, both from a marketing & PR perspective and creating detailed maps and models of a construction sites at various stages of progress. #propertyvideo #aerialvideo #constructiondrones

Top 5 construction applications for drones
Although a fairly new technology, drones are already having a significant impact in the construction industry, improving efficiency, safety and productivity - here are the top 5 applications... 1. Track progress Drones can quickly generate aerial images, highly detailed orthomosaic maps and 3D models of construction sites to create visual progress reports and timelines. The same flight can be repeated on a regular basis to track groundworks and build progress, reducing the ne
