Riverbank & Canal Bank Repair Pontoon Hire

Modular pontoon access platform supporting canal construction works at Wigan Pier

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.

Modular floating access can provide a practical working area along restricted banks and retaining structures.

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

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.
