Floating Pontoon Hire modular pontoon platform providing safe access for bridge inspection and structural works beneath a historic stone arch bridge

Any size, any configuration

You may only need a simple 3m x 3m platform to carry a small scaffold tower allowing one or two people to undertake survey or inspection work. You may need the entire underside of a bridge decked with a full scaffold rig giving access to the whole structure. Our floating access platforms work for both.

Access to site

Should the bridge, building or wall be some distance from easy access to the water, then we can fit the pontoons with brackets and manoeuvre them to the location with one of our small Suzuki outboard engines. This may be much cheaper than clearing access adjacent to the structure. We also have a range of small work boats for crew transfer if needed.

Environmentally sensitive sites

If the area surrounding the site is environmentally sensitive and sediment disturbance is a concern, then we can float the pontoons into location as described above but with electric outboard motors or paddles. Our pontoon is extensively cleaned after every installation to ensure contamination of rivers and streams is avoided.

Safety first

Our floating platforms are fitted with steel stanchion uprights and a range of handrail systems. For the ultimate in safety and to prevent any accidental tool loss, use our flush fitting narrow mesh steel Combisafe panels.

Anchor points

When scaffolding is required, we also fit anchor points allowing your scaffold tower to be securely fixed down to the pontoon deck ensuring that your workforce are safe and secure at all times whilst working at height. The platform will suffer from minimal movement when anchored, even on moving water.
