Latest progress photos of M56 project
Latest progress photos of M56 upgrade project taken by professional aerial photographer 360photosurvey.com. This short video shows an extract from our latest photoshoot, with high resolution photos taken at regular 25-50m intervals along both sides of the project in under 5 minutes (800 individual photos), providing the project team with an invaluable progress record of the project each month.
We`ve been undertaking regular monthly aerial progress photos of this project for Galliford Try and National Highways from our full size fixed wing real aircraft (not a drone) with 2-man crew on board (pro pilot + photographer with high powered cameras). During each flight, we fly in two legs, first Westbound (North of the M56) from junction 6 (Manchester Airport) to junction 7 (Lymm/Altrincham), and then return Eastbound (South of the M56). Providing the project team with very high resolution images along the full length of their project.
Being right next to Manchester Airport runway, we have the necessary permit to operate our aircraft in such close proximity, and are in constant direct communications with Air Traffic Control throughout the operation whom know we`re professional and efficient and safe ensuring no disruption to airport commercial operations. On completion back at junction 6, we`re cleared to cross the airport and onto our next site – the Poynton Bypass project for Graham Construction and Cheshire East Council.
Why do we use full size real aircraft rather than drones? Under CAA drone regs it`s illegal to operate a drone over a live motorway, and as the route also passes over a live railway too (CAA drone regs + Network Rail regulations), that`s illegal too. With the length of the project, would mean that under the CAA drone regs, a drone can not be flown more than 500m from the ground based pilot, which means the pilot has to repeatedly relocate position, with all the costs and time associated. Whilst drones are a great asset, drone operators would be pushed to photograph more than 1-2 sites in a day – prior to getting to the M56 project, we`d already photographed a dozen projects for clients, and then onto more projects, including further highway and railway projects in addition to lots of construction projects and commercial sites for our estate customers.

Sustainable aerial photography for construction and infrastructure projects
Sustainable aerial photography for construction and infrastructure projects:-
.
During each 7 hour monthly aerial photoshoot flight operation we photograph multiple projects (see map). It`s probably unfeasible for a drone operator to do more than two projects in a day travelling by car, with all the expense & polution caused by road traffic, hold ups, breakdowns, accidents etc whereas we travel directly to each site `as the crow flys` and not having to follow curvy roads.
Time on site? with a drone there`s induction time, you`ll be on site for say 1-3 hours perhaps, with a maximum flying time of between 15-60 mins. We typically do 2 circuits of each project & typically on scene at each for 2-3 mins photographing the project fully from all angles with incredibly powerful cameras to provide our clients with 30+ very high resolution photos.
As we don`t enter sites, there`s no disruption to site operations nor safety issues either.
There are many locations where it`s illegal for drones to operate such as airports, prisons, nuclear installations, within 50 metres of railways, over live motorways etc, and all the issues associated with flying in city centres too, which don`t apply to us – what`s not to like?
Why not give us a try, I`m sure you`ll be really impressed not only with the service, but also the incredible high quality and resolution of our photos.

What value does a photo condition survey undertaken prior to construction/demolition work commencing bring to a project?
What value does a photo condition survey undertaken prior to construction/demolition work commencing bring to a project?
It provides a definitive photographic record of the conditions including existing visible damage/defects, not only of the building/site, but also and of equal importance, of the adjacent external public realm not only of the immediate area adjacent to the works, but also at site vehicular entrances and routes to/from the site (including pavements, highway, street furniture and neighbouring premises).
A detailed photo condition survey can avoid costly and extremely time consuming disputes over what was, or was not damaged prior to work commencing.
360 degree photographic surveys provide an even more effective solution, enabling project teams to virtually walk around the whole of surveyed area and look around in true 360 degrees on their computers remote from site – quicker and easier than having to scroll through a long condition survey video where you may have hours of recording to find what you`re looking for, or still photos where what you`re looking for is….just out of shot!

Aerial Photography legend Harold Nuttall of Aerviews Photography

One of the most famous and indeed, a true character of Aerial Photography, Harold Nuttall of Airviews Photography was both widely known in the construction industry for his oustanding aerial photography of construction projects and for being a true gentleman.
With his increasing poor health, and sadly eventually having to retire completely from aerial photography, Chris Billington of 360photosurvey.com, an established aerial photographer in his own right gradually took over the reigns. Airviews Photography is now fully incorporated into 360photosurvey.com providing high quality aerial photography for construction and property professionals and is looking forward to the next 30 years.

Aerial photographer MANCHESTER AIRPORT review
Aerial photographer MANCHESTER
Former Boddington`s Brewery site now being developed. From 2000 feet up.
Taken during our 22nd June aerial photoshoot flight operation using our full size high-wing aircraft and pro Nikon cameras with very high powered lenses. Why use a drone when you can only fly upto a maximum of 400 feet?

Leeds Station Mural aerial photo from 1500 feet whilst getting into position for our aerial photoshoot of a nearby site for a client during our 22nd June aerial photoshoot flight op`.
Taken from our full sized fixed wing aircraft and pro Nikon cameras with high powered lenses.
You couldn`t do that with a drone as Network Rail take a dim view of drones flying over their railway (or closer than 50m) + CAA restrict drones to a maximum height of 400 feet + very heavy restrictions whilst flying within built up areas.

These are why we fly at 2000 feet over the amazing city of Manchester
Taken during our 22nd June aerial photoshoot flight op, whilst getting in position to photograph Kier Construction Birley Fields project from our full size high-wing aircraft and pro Nikon cameras + high powered lenses to obtain incrredibly detailed high quality images for our clients.
A shot that couldn`t be obtained using a drone (they`re limited by the CAA to maximum 400 feet and serious restrictions within Cities/Towns and other built up areas.
AND, drones can only do one site at a time (as the Pilot needs to be in visual line of site of it at all times), whereas we photograph many clients sites within the city quickly, efficiently and safely before moving onto the next location.

Drone v Full Size Aircraft for photography?
DRONE v FULL SIZE AIRCRAFT what do you think?
This image hasn`t been enlarged or manipulated – it was taken from 1500 feet above HS2 Curzon Street Station project from our FULL SIZE AIRCRAFT
Drones are a great tool, but as with every tool in the photographers arsenal they have their limitations:
1. HEIGHT:
DRONE – MAX 400 feet
FULL SIZE AIRCRAFT – Typically 1000-2000+feet subject to Air Traffic Control/CAA requirements, enabling wider panoramic images of complete/large sites
2. EXTENT OF OPERATION ON SITE
DRONES – MUST NOT BE flown over land/property without owners consent + major restrictions within built up areas (towns/cities) + pilot must maintain visual sight of drone at all times
FIXED WING AIRCRAFT – NO LIMIT – we can fly directly over + with high powered lenses obtain incredibly detailed images + at ANY distance from the site to get required images/angles that can not be obtained by drone.
3. EXTENT OF OPERATION OUTSIDE SITE AREA
DRONES – CAA regs – drones must remain within the confines of the site within built up areas
FIXED WING AIRCRAFT – NO LIMITATION – we can obtain distant shots of the site taking in wider location such as a city background to show the site in context to its surroundings + we cover MULTIPLE CITIES/LOCATIONS during a SINGLE FLIGHT operation

Photo dilapidation survey prior to construction of new school
DID YOU BREAK THIS?
The answer for our client Spatial Initiative is NO, it was already broke! As they had appointed 360photosurvey.com to undertake a detailed photo dilapidation survey of their site and adjacent roads before they commenced work on their new school project in Preston and as a result they can prove beyond a shadow of doubt it was already in this condition.
They now have an extremely detailed photographic record of the conditions of items such as this damaged street furniture, in addition to picking up the condition of kerbs, road/pavements, boundary/neighbouring walls, trees etc, etc. The survey is supplied with a key plan identifying the location of each photograph, and doesn`t just concentrate on damage, but items without defect too.
The cost of the survey at this stage before the project will save a great deal of time, effort and cost trying to resolve potential claims for damage at a later date and will prove an invaluable resource.

The cost of the survey at this stage before the project will save a great deal of time, effort and cost trying to resolve potential claims for damage at a later date and will prove an invaluable resource particularly for example if a Local Authority Highways Department were claiming your vehicles caused it.

Air to Air Military Aircraft Photographer
So you`ve just arrived on scene & about to undertake the required turn to get the right position for your site project aerial photoshoot when two Military training helicopters drive straight across your planned route?
So what do you do? Answer –
Don`t turn but keep straight on and let them fly past whilst shooting them (photographically of course!) – very photogenic.
These distinctive black and yellow helicopters and their crews are always interesting to see and even better for air to air photography, and having worked with a number of RAF Helicopter pilots I have the highest respect for these dedicated and professional pilots.
Nb, 360photosurvey.com uses full size aircraft with crew of two (our senior pro pilot + photographer) flying at 1500 feet – If we`d been using a drone we`d have been in trouble with the CAA not only for being above the permitted flying height (400ft) of drones but also in close proximity to an aircraft…you can`t do that with a drone!

London photo dilapidation survey – what a transformation
What a transformation! – London Southbank Centre
It`s not often 360photosurvey.com go`s back to a completed project that we had undertaken a detailed and huge 360 photo dilapidation survey some time ago before #BamConstruction commenced major construction works on the buildings.
Recently, having finished early around the corner, 360photosurvey.com bobbed in to the London Southbank Centre and what a fabulous transformation as these quick snaps illustrate to the dilapidation photos taken during our survey.
From recollection, we took circa 50,000+ images of the two buildings (Hayward Gallery & Queen Elizabeth Hall + Purcell Room) providing a difinitive record of the building conditions before major works on these Grade 2 listed buildings.

A little thought that could save main contractors a small fortune & less headaches.
Unfortunately many contractors don`t give it a thought at the start of their project. Indeed photography is probably well off their radar with so much to consider at the start of a project.
However by undertaking a detailed 360 photo dilapidation/condition survey BEFORE you commence works, INCLUDING the adjacent highways/pavements will identify existing defects/damages which you can use to prove you didn`t cause them, & therefore avoid spurious, time consuming/expensive claims against you when you have better and more important things to do with your time.
The principle is therefore if the defect is on our photos – it wasn`t caused by you or your sub contractors…..Its that simple! 360photosurvey.com specializes in producing extremely detailed photo dilapidation surveys for contractors quickly, efficiently & cost effectively. We provide you with a USB hard drive containing a complete record of the site/highway areas enabling you & your team to `virtually` walk around the site and quickly view and identify issues.
Please do have a look at our website photo dilapidations page (see link in photo) where we`ve provided some video cast studies of some of our projects.
360photosurvey.com expands to provide monthly aerial photoshoots of London construction projects
As one of the UK`s leading construction project aerial photographers, 360photosurvey.com has built an enviable record for high quality aerial photography of construction and infrastructure projects and is expanding its regular monthly aerial photoshoot flights to now include London.
With the success of our regional aerial photoshoot flights, and already working on the ground in London with our 360 photo dilapidation surveys in the Capital it seemed the logical thing to do.
Our London specific monthly flights will commence from mid January 2020. We`ll be flying our twin engine Squirrel helicopter over construction projects in London, using our pro Nikon cameras and high powered lenses to record unique images for our clients, many of whom already use our services elsewhere in the UK.
London which has some spectacular construction projects, also has, quite understandably a moritorium on drone operations with the city. Flying at typically 2000 feet (which drones can`t legally fly at) 360photosurvey.com is able to obtain phenominally detailed and high quality images from a unique perspective.
Unlike some aerial photographers, we only use aircraft/helicopters and professional pilots certified for commercial photography by the CAA/NATS.
If you have a construction project within London, and would like aerial photos of it, call Chris on FREEphone 0800 716 703 or email your site address to info@360photosurvey.com
What do you get? Circa 30 high resolution stunning images of your projects, supplied on a USB memory stick.
Examples of our work: http://www.360photosurvey.com/aerial-photography/
One big hole from the air
#AggregateIndustries #BardonHillQuarry is one of three huge “big hole” quarries near Leicester. From the ground you wouldn`t necessarily know they were there, nor how deep they are, whereas from the air a whole new perspective with an almost surreal landscape.
Aerial photos by construction project aerial photographer 360photosurvey.com during our flight through the region 16th May 2019 using high wing aircraft (fabulous uninterupted views) and very high powered cameras. You can get an idea of the amount of detail we pick up with the view of the vehicles which are tiny specs in the bottom left photo.

Former Barnes Hospital gets new lease of life
The former Barnes Hospital in Cheadle, Stockport has lanquished for many years in dereliction.
Now, brought back to life as part of the Barnes Village development by Henley Homes, the grade II listed building has been transformed in the conversion to residential in conjunction with new build housing.
Aerial photos by specialist construction project aerial photographer 360photosurvey.com using our high wing aircraft and powerful DSLR lenses.
Due to the proximity of this site on the Manchester Airport final approach flight path required very close communications with Air Traffic Control at all times, enabling us to undertake the photoshoot very quickly without disruption to the airport operations, something that would have been impossible (and illegal using a drone).
Thanks again to Manchester ATC….great dealing with the pro`s.
