Submersible Pump Platform Pontoon Hire
FPS Pontoon Hire provides modular floating platforms that can support suitable pumping operations on reservoirs, lakes, rivers, lagoons and other water bodies.
A dedicated floating platform can position pumps, hoses and associated equipment closer to the required working area while providing a defined space for installation, inspection and maintenance.

Floating platforms for pumping works
Platform dimensions and layout are planned around the proposed equipment, personnel, hose routes, access and site conditions. The suitability of the pontoon is assessed against the anticipated loads and operating requirements before installation.
Typical applications
- Submersible pump support
- Temporary dewatering operations
- Reservoir and lagoon pumping
- Water transfer projects
- Pump inspection and maintenance access
- Hose and pipe support over water
- Temporary contractor work platforms
Project-specific planning
We consider pump and equipment weights, working loads, water depth and conditions, hose routing, access, mooring or positioning and the need for edge protection, gangways, work boats or safety boats. Where required, the pontoon arrangement can also be supported by temporary works design and stability calculations.
