Pipeline & Cable Installation Pontoon Hire

FPS Pontoon Hire provides modular floating work platforms to support pipeline, duct and cable installation, inspection and maintenance across rivers, canals, lakes, reservoirs and other suitable water bodies.
A configurable floating platform can provide working space for specialist contractors, tools, equipment and materials where the route crosses or follows water.


Floating support for utility and infrastructure works
Each arrangement is planned around the installation method, required working area, personnel, equipment and loads, access and water conditions. FPS supplies the pontoon and agreed access equipment while specialist utility installation remains under the control of the appointed competent contractor.
Typical applications
- Pipeline installation support
- Cable and duct installation
- Pipe and cable inspection
- Temporary equipment staging
- Hose and service routing over water
- Survey and pre-installation works
- Maintenance access to waterside services
Project planning
We consider platform dimensions, anticipated loads, water depth and conditions, access, positioning or mooring, route constraints and any need for gangways, work boats, safety boats or edge protection. More complex arrangements can be supported by temporary works design and stability calculations.
