Riverbank & Canal Bank Repair Pontoon Hire

FPS Pontoon Hire provides modular floating work platforms for riverbank, canal bank and waterside retaining-structure maintenance and repair projects across the UK.
Floating access can allow contractors to work from the water side of the bank where land access is restricted, environmentally sensitive or impractical for conventional plant and scaffold.


Access for bank and retaining-wall works
The platform can be configured around the length of work, personnel, tools and equipment and can be repositioned as the project progresses where the agreed method and site conditions permit.
Typical applications
- Canal bank repairs
- Riverbank stabilisation support
- Retaining-wall inspection and repair
- Sheet-pile and erosion-protection access
- Masonry and concrete works
- Vegetation and maintenance access
- Survey and condition inspection
Configured around the site
We consider bank access, working loads, water depth and flow, platform dimensions, mooring or positioning and the need for edge protection, gangways, scaffold towers, work boats or safety boats. More complex arrangements can be supported by temporary works design and stability calculations.
