The plant, powered by six massive Rolls Royce engines, was designed as an automated facility to fill in the gaps in Wolverhampton’s energy needs when demand outstrips supply
Ely Aviation’s managing director Ian Titchener said ‘This was a job that required a fair amount of planning. Because of the unusual configuration of the plant we had to undertake certain parts of the project with a much smaller UAV.
‘Our client had requested some fly-through video of a particular part of the plant that featured a lot in intricate pipework. We were able to use one of our smaller machines to fly without GPS switched on; this requires a high degree of concentration and a very steady hand!’
The company's growing portfolio of clients includes celebrities, music artists, local authorities and many more.
