Case study — Energy from Waste

A decade inside the UK’s
energy-from-waste build-out

Ten ERF construction programmes. Multi-year cameras, live portals, drone progress films and milestone edits — from first groundworks to first waste, and now into the UK’s first carbon-capture programme.

The portfolio

Every major ERF era, on camera

SkyGlide has filmed the construction of the UK’s new generation of energy-from-waste facilities — long-duration timelapse, aerial progress filming and delivery films across the country’s most significant plants.

Protos Carbon CaptureUK first — with Encyclis & Kanadevia Inova

And the next era has already started. The Protos carbon-capture programme — delivered by Encyclis with Kanadevia Inova — is the first of its kind in the UK, and SkyGlide’s cameras and crews are on it from day one. When the sector writes its history, the footage will be ours.

What we deliver

Built for programmes measured in years

01

Towers & live portal

Self-powered Rapid Tower systems capturing continuously for the full programme — with live feeds and the complete archive in a private portal the whole project team can use, on any device.

02

Aerial progress filming

CAA-authorised drone crews flying regular progress sorties over live sites — CSCS-carded, RAMS for every visit, insured to £10m, cleared for the tightest site protocols.

03

Films, stills & milestones

Edited delivery films, milestone edits and stills for boards, intranets and public communications — shot in 6K/8K and turned around in days, not months.

Thank you very much for the excellent work and collaboration over the past two-plus years.

Dimitrios — Project Coordinator, Metlen Energy & Metals

The drone photos look great, and the angle of coverage for the relocated timelapse camera is excellent — we can see the whole site.
