Dredging & Piling Support Pontoon Hire
FPS Pontoon Hire provides modular floating work platforms to support selected dredging, piling and marine-construction activities on inland and sheltered-water projects across the UK.
The pontoon arrangement is developed around the proposed work method, personnel, tools, equipment and working loads. Suitability is assessed project by project, particularly where plant, concentrated loads or operational forces are involved.
Floating support for marine construction
Modular pontoons can provide working space, access and equipment staging alongside river, canal, reservoir and waterside structures. FPS supplies the pontoon and agreed access equipment while specialist dredging or piling operations remain under the control of the appointed competent contractor.
Typical applications
- Light dredging support
- Piling and sheet-pile access support
- Equipment and material staging
- Marine construction access
- Survey and setting-out support
- Temporary working platforms alongside structures
Loads and temporary works
Plant weight alone is not sufficient to determine suitability. We consider equipment weight, personnel, point loads, operating forces, platform geometry, water conditions, positioning and access. Where required, temporary works design and stability calculations are incorporated before the platform is used.
For related maintenance operations, see our Watercourse Maintenance Pontoon Hire service. Edge protection, work boats and safety boats can also be incorporated where appropriate to the agreed scope.
