Professional Drone Photography & Filming for Civil Engineering Projects in Wales
MJ Films provides aerial photography and filming for civil engineering projects across Wales and the UK. We’ve worked with organisations including the South Wales Trunk Road Agent (SWTRA) and the Welsh Government Highways Department, delivering accurate, high-quality visuals for infrastructure schemes such as road construction and resurfacing.
Example: M4 Resurfacing
Our work on the M4 involved documenting overnight surfacing works, capturing echelon paving (multiple machines laying asphalt side-by-side) to show progress and technique. This footage supported both project reporting and stakeholder communication.

We documented echelon paving on the M4, where multiple machines worked side-by-side to lay asphalt seamlessly across lanes. This technique prevents seams from forming, resulting in a smoother, more durable road surface ideal for heavy-traffic motorways like the M4.
