Levitate was commissioned by Westridge Construction and the Raven Housing Trust to produce a short film about their new development, Ranmore Close, in Redhill. The completed video is now live on the Westridge website. The 34 new homes were completed in June this year, and are designed for those of pensionable age looking to downsize. #propertyphotography #propertyvideo #constructiondrones

A beautiful (if chilly) day filming the Land & Water team in action on behalf of the Environment Agency last week, removing a gauging weir on the River Lambourn in Newbury. #aerialvideo #constructiondrones #aerialphotograpjy

Levitate recently started working with a new client, TAG Construction, filming their involvement in the construction of the new Junction 10a at Ashford on the M20. The completed video shows TAG's works on the two new interchange bridges, slip roads, footbridges and culvert slabs, parapets and wingwalls on behalf of VINCI / Taylor Woodrow JV. #aerialvideo #constructiondrones

...not before last Christmas, but Levitate did fly within the Flight Restriction Zone (FRZ) at Gatwick Airport a couple of weeks ago while filming at a data centre construction site in Crawley. Drone flights with an airport's FRZ are banned without permission from the relevant Air Traffic Control (ATC). However by liaising well in advance with Gatwick ATC we received the appropriate permission to operate (only available to drone operators with Permission for Commercial Operat

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

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

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

It's been fantastic to record the progress made by Land & Water at the Campbell Wharf Marina in Milton Keynes over the last few months - and amazing transformation, with the marina opening to boats this month. #aerialsurveys #constructiondrones #aerialphotograpjy

Levitate was recently commissioned to film the installation of a new bridge over the Grand Union Canal in Milton Keynes as part of a major new housing and marina development, the Campbell Wharf Marina. Our client, Land & Water, is part way through the construction of the 111 berth marina, which includes 110,000m3 earthworks to form the marina profile, 500m of steel sheet piled retaining structures and 85m of reinforced concrete retaining wall. The impressive 60 tonne bridge w

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. Bid: use drone surveys and data collation to inspect sites, assess design feasibility, brief clients & model projects 2. Design: ensure designs are informed by actual site conditions & constraints, identifying potential problems through detailed, repeatable surveys 3. Construct: track

Our drone roof measurement service received some great media coverage recently, with articles in both Roofing Today and Tomorrow’s FM. The pieces highlight how the service automatically identifies and measures different roof and edge types, including surface areas, valleys, flashing, ridges, parapets and eaves, quickly and safely delivering the data essential to roofing repairs, condition assessments, insurance claims and photo-voltaic installations. The potential of the serv

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
