Environmental & Ecological Survey Pontoon Hire
FPS Pontoon Hire provides modular floating platforms for environmental, ecological and water-quality surveys on rivers, lakes, reservoirs, canals and other water bodies across the UK.
A floating work platform can provide survey teams with a defined working area for sampling, monitoring and inspection where shoreline access is limited or the survey location sits away from the bank.


Floating access for survey teams
The pontoon can be configured around the personnel, sampling equipment, instruments and access requirements of the project. Platform size and layout are agreed with consideration for working loads, water conditions and positioning requirements.
Typical applications
- Water-quality sampling
- Ecological and habitat surveys
- Reed-bed and marginal vegetation surveys
- Sediment sampling
- Environmental monitoring equipment installation
- Photographic and condition surveys
- Specialist contractor access over water
Configured for the survey
We consider the site access, required working area, personnel and equipment, water depth and conditions, mooring or positioning requirements and any need for gangways, work boats, safety boats or edge protection. Where appropriate, project-specific temporary works and stability requirements can also be reviewed.
