GRS takes to the skies over Bacup

GRS Contractors has taken to the skies at its latest project in Bacup, with aerial photography and video capturing the scale of the civil engineering work underway for McDermott Homes.
Working alongside GRS, ICM Marketing Consultancy used drone technology to capture a series of aerial images and footage of the development, providing a perspective that simply isn’t possible from ground level.
The Bacup project forms part of GRS’s ongoing work for McDermott Homes, with the civil engineering specialist delivering infrastructure works as part of the development at Woodland Grange.
For projects of this scale, aerial footage provides more than just striking imagery. It gives GRS a clear visual record of the site, demonstrates progress and provides valuable content that can be used across its marketing, communications and social media activity.
The footage also captures the wider context of the project — showing how the development sits within the surrounding landscape and giving clients, stakeholders and prospective customers a much clearer understanding of the work taking place.
Adam Ormesher, Operations Manager, said: “Drone photography gives us a completely different perspective on our projects. It allows us to show the scale of what our teams are delivering and capture progress in a way that ground-level photography can’t always achieve. It’s also great content for telling the story of our work and the people behind it.”
