2:50 Good honest comments from the guy in the blue van who explained that government water treatment legislation is inadequate. We need to inform our politicians about this to protect our rivers and environment. Your style is exposing inexcusable government policy DJ.
I had a quick look at CNI sites and it seems that as long as its not "hostile", drones are allowed over CNI sites. I understand that there are special bylaws about nuclear plants. But drones can be flown over CNI sites despite it being a "big NO NO". The things the guy in the blue van said were so interesting
Quite educational. The first guy did a great job explaining how good the water quality is supplied by his company. Its what the boss should have done, but all in all they were ok.
Such a shame that they went a bit Speshul after Blue Van Man was so helpful and educational. That was properly interesting to begin with. Still, they remained polite, and to be fair, it _is_ a more critical site than most of the corporate ones, so their belief (while wrong) is more reasonable than usual.
It only becomes critical when you can't get water because it's been contaminated blown up or a cyber attack breaks the system. When that happens, and it will, it will be interesting to see how many opinions change!
If a CNI was not to be flown over then there would be a no fly zone in place in the same way mlitary bases or MoD sites are. What's really scary is that the people in charge of these sites don't know the laws governing them.
Nothing scary about average people not knowing the laws around drone flying. Why would they? What's more scary is people like this audit man turning up and trying to get a reaction out of people which could potentially land them in trouble.
@@CowboyfeetFeet And here we have the comment of a real bootlicker. Are you one of these NPCs wearing a mask because they told you so or one of these brainless drones agitating a Ukrainian flag because that the fashion of the time?
@@CowboyfeetFeet They aren't average people, they are workers on a CNI site claiming that they do know the laws. So if they're gonna make the claim, they should actually know the laws.
The chap clearly said he didnt no the laws around drone fying and was simply asking him not to do it. Fair enough in my view as it's slightly intrusive.
I think there are 11 water companies in England and earlier this year they all signed an open letter to the government basically apologising for deliberately letting untreated sewage straight into our rivers thousands of times from over flow drains which are only supposed to be used in emergencies . This should have been an open and shut case of gross negligence with CEO ‘s imprisoned and company’s heavily fined but nothing’s happened ? , and if my memory serves me well Thames water were the worst offenders.
Deffo should have at minimum been fined, ideally, at least the same amount that it would have cost to treat the water - raw sewage dumps are basically cost cutting measures for higher profits/stakeholder payouts.
Egham water treatment works belongs to Affinity water which is a clean, potable drinking water company only. They do not deal with sewage and are nothing to do with Thames water. CNI means this site produces water for hundreds of thousands of customers including hospitals and airports etc. So many keyboard warriors on here that think they know, stirring up hate when they really do not have a clue.
DJ, I worked at a sewage treatment plant. They take most of the impurities out of the waste water and their discharge is cleaner than the river water. The sludge is collected and moved to a site for disposal.
The area west of Heathrow is a WATER TREATMENT site with huge reservoirs for storage after going through primary treatment. There's another one near Alexandia Palace or was as a friend worked there back in the 60s. Sewage treatment is done at Beckton in East London near Royal Docks Rd.
Normally Im only interested in the interactions but this one I was genuinely fascinated by the plant and what they do Nice vid I learned something new 😄
Another good video DJ. Let’s hope sites like these don’t become Geofenced if/when the new rules come into play in a couple of years. By the way, my mini 3 pro had the shakes like that once. Calibrating the gimbal didn’t help.. but changing the props did 👍
Your wobbly gimbal is caused by the invisible electro-magnetic dome emitted from the site's battlefield radar system when it detects aerial threats ... or maybe it's windy up there.
We need to make the government take responsibility for allowing the disgusting water companies who have taken all the profits for years but have not dealt with leaks and have been pumping raw sewage in to our water courses, rivers, and lakes. Take them back in to public ownership and give no compensation to the thieves.
To fix all the issues would cost £168 Bn. If the government had to pay that it would be an extra 80 pence in the pound on income tax if done in a single year.
The tailgating sign is not in reference to accidents. It is to maintain one vehicle thru the gate at a time. A second one is not to piggy back the first one.
I tried that but the gimbal shake was still occuring once the drone had landed at some points. Very intermittent and no time to be without a drone so a few days later I purchased the DJI MINI 4 Pro (which you will have seen in the Film Set video). I am always keen to get the latest model but always wait for a reason. 👍💚💚💚
Here in the states, my state has a whole list of places you can’t fly a drone. They’re largely critical infrastructure locations. And then there’s a big fat exception list after that list of locations that says if you have a commercial license (required for anything but recreational flying), you’re good to go. I’m sure I’ll have a similar interaction at some point.
You’ve got some crap in the gimbal somewhere. Gave mine a blow out with compressed air. Sorted. Van driver was great. Other bids ok. Can tell you’ve done this a lot. Nice one DJ.
I've just designated my garden shed a CNI site. I hope no helicopters with cameras fly over it. However, I'm not going to shit in the ditch at the bottom of my garden, so if a helicpted does come to film my CNI, they're not going to see anything dodgy being done.
The gimbal shake I had a Mini 3 Pro do the same thing the little rubber shock absorbers on either side of the gimbal needs to be replaced they do wear out over time specially if you transport the Drone loose in a bag where it can be bounced around.
Far as I'm concerned, I give you my full consent to film my jobbies as/if they flow into the Thames. I had no idea, my jobbies might be targeted by terrorists. They usually target popular events, lots of unsuspecting people around for maximum impact.
The three tanks you thought were to do with sewage are actually filtration tanks the arms move around spraying water on the top of the filtration medium
As mentioned before I keep a bucket in my room as it saves me having to go down stairs in the night. I used to use an old saucepan, however unfortunately one night a few years back it rusted through and leaked all over the carpet. The saucepan was handy as it doubled up as an instrument to hit somone over the head with if I ever got burgled in the night. Lucy

Great video!👍⭐⭐⭐ The South West Suburban Water Co first appears on the 1897 OS map and next door at the Tesla Collection car park was the gas works storage dating to mid 1800s to late 1900s.

The Flow 1 Building in a previous video is on the site of the Egham & Staines Electricity Co works constructed before 1912 and simply noted as Works on later maps. Early 1900s is when housing expanded east from the village of Egham on the south side of the Thames. Along Causeway/A308 to the east is the large roundabout connecting to Staines Bridge. Construction f the new roundabout is visible in an April 1948 aerial photo. The gas works and electricity works were later replaced by 3 storey office buildings and later demolished.

Interesting comparison point: Sewage companies discharging 'up to legal limits' (and often getting fined for breaching them!), and Drone flier operating up to legal limits auditing companies. Which is more harmful to the public, I wonder?
I love these types of video, and the education it gives some security (SIA) workers and the police for that matter, however the concern over drones in certain area's is understandable as security services "world wide" view the damage caused by low tech low size drones, has surprised many, (Ukraine war) and yes in some cases its over the top concern but it is something that has surprised and worries people who work in defence agencies

Yeah but they apologised for being naughty. If only all criminals knew that that, is all they had to do.
But in this instance affinity water is a clean water only provider so not involved in the discharge of foul/waste water
CNI= Clearly No Idea.
It's also a big No no.
Affinity Water man Audits the people near water ... I think he is a stand up guy doing great work for water as you do for the photon collectors
Excellent work, well handled. Very entertaining work from DJ AUDITS - bravo !
The real workers always have a better understanding of things. 👍

@noelward8047 take a nap, you sound sleepy
Only they are allowed to do unauthorised discharge… into our rivers! 🤬🤬🤬🤬
Egham water treatment works is a clean drinking water site (not sewage). No waste is discharged back into the river. Get your facts right.
I had a gimble shake just like this, I replaced the props and it cured it, I think the slightest damage to a prop can put it out of balance.
I tried that but the gimbal shake was still occuring once the drone had landed at some points. Very intermittent and no time to be without a drone so a few days later I purchased the DJI MINI 4 Pro (which you will have seen in the Film Set video).

Spitfies had that trouble
I delivered those green pipes to Egham and many more water treatment sites many years ago from their manufacture & coating point in the west midlands.
Flocculant tanks where chemicals are added to the water to make the solids (particles and mocroscopics) fall out of it.
