Case study — Energy from Waste
A decade inside the UK’s
energy-from-waste build-out
Eleven major energy 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
The UK’s energy build-out, on camera
SkyGlide has filmed the construction of the UK’s new generation of energy-from-waste facilities and fast-response power stations — long-duration timelapse, aerial progress filming and delivery films across the country’s most significant plants.
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
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.
Aerial & ground 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.
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.
CSCS-carded, every visit
Rigging alongside the main contractor’s own site team — cleared, briefed and trusted on live construction sites.
Thank you very much for the excellent work and collaboration over the past two-plus years.
The drone photos look great, and the angle of coverage for the relocated timelapse camera is excellent — we can see the whole site.
Inside the process — with Metlen Energy & Metals
Access most cameras never get — the working heart of the plant, not just the site hoarding.
