About FPS Pontoon Hire
What Makes FPS Different?
Exceptional Pontoons. Exceptional People.
FPS Pontoon Hire is a UK specialist in modular floating pontoon hire and over-water access. We support construction, civil engineering, bridge, rail, geotechnical, maintenance, utilities and event projects across the UK.
Our service goes beyond supplying pontoon modules. From early project discussions and load requirements through to configuration, delivery, installation, dismantling, boats, edge protection and associated access equipment, our experienced team helps clients put together a practical solution for the site and programme.
We work with contractors, consultants, infrastructure organisations and specialist subcontractors who need dependable access on or around water, including restricted-access and complex working environments.

Delivery & Collection
Our own fleet of vehicles allows us to deliver and collect pontoon systems, boats and associated equipment throughout the UK. We can accommodate planned works, restricted access requirements and out-of-hours installations where required.
Assembly & Dismantling
Our experienced operatives install and dismantle floating pontoon systems, work platforms, access solutions and scaffold towers safely and efficiently, including on complex and restricted-access sites.
Extra Equipment
We can also supply safety boats, outboard motors, scaffold towers, life jackets, lifebuoys, throw lines, debris booms and other specialist equipment required for works on or around water.
Safe Access Over Water
FPS provides safe, stable and practical access solutions for projects on or around water. We configure modular floating pontoon systems and work platforms around the specific requirements of each site, supporting construction, civil engineering, bridge maintenance, rail, utilities, geotechnical investigations and specialist access works throughout the UK.
Competence and safety are built into the service. Depending on the project, this can include project-specific RAMS, temporary works input and stability calculations, trained installation teams, edge protection, life jackets, safety boats, rescue arrangements and agreed inspection or operating controls.
Our wider competence is supported by recognised construction and safety accreditations, experienced site teams and an established approach to planning work over water. You can read more on our Health & Safety and Safer by Design / temporary works pages.

Modular pontoon systems can be configured in a wide range of shapes and sizes to suit the working area, access constraints and intended use of the project. We can plan arrangements around bridges, columns, pools, reservoirs, canals, rivers and other site-specific restrictions, with loading and access requirements considered as part of the proposed solution.
Safe working on and around water is central to how FPS plans and delivers each installation. Depending on the project, controls can include project-specific RAMS, trained operatives, life jackets, edge protection, rescue arrangements, safety boats and safe systems for installation and dismantling.
We focus on providing a practical pontoon arrangement that suits the work, site conditions and programme without adding unnecessary complexity. By coordinating delivery, installation, hire support, dismantling and collection, we help clients maintain safe access and keep their project moving.

RAMS, access, loading and site requirements are considered before mobilisation. See our Temporary Works & Stability Calculations information.
