Annan Harbour, Scotland ⚓

Challenge → provide adaptable access while accounting for harbour water levels, boarding points and restraint requirements.

FPS solution → configure a modular floating platform around the task and site conditions.

Safety controls → water conditions, access and egress, restraint, edge protection and working position assessed before installation.

Result → a stable marine-access platform suited to the harbour environment.

Inside Preston Brook Tunnel

Challenge → support a structural inspection with restricted headroom, tight tunnel geometry and limited launch access.

FPS solution → configure a modular floating platform for the canal tunnel and the inspection workface.

Safety controls → access points, controlled movement, restraint, safe boarding and emergency arrangements.

Result → engineers gained a stable, adaptable route to difficult-to-reach areas.

Linton Bridge, West Yorkshire

Challenge → restricted river access, heavy temporary steelwork and very little room for conventional plant beneath a flood-damaged bridge.

FPS solution → position a modular floating platform directly below the structure for controlled removal work.

Safety controls → loading, restraint, safe boarding, edge protection and rescue planning built into the arrangement.

Result → the team gained a stable work area at the exact point it was needed.

Heatwaves are causing reservoir levels to fall across the UK.

As water levels continue to drop, accessing pump intakes, inspection points and critical infrastructure becomes increasingly challenging.

Last year, Floating Pontoon Solutions supported reservoir operations by installing temporary floating work platforms, allowing pumps to continue operating safely even as water levels receded.

Our modular pontoon systems can provide safe access for:

* Temporary pumping operations
* Reservoir inspections
* Maintenance and repair works
* Environmental monitoring
* Emergency access solutions

With water levels expected to remain low over the coming weeks, now is the time to plan ahead.

If you’re a water company, civil engineering contractor or environmental consultant needing safe access on reservoirs, lakes or other inland waters, we’d be happy to discuss a solution.

🏗️ Project Complete | Preston Brook Tunnel 🚤

We recently supplied and installed a bespoke floating work platform inside the historic Preston Brook Tunnel to support Arcadis during a Principal Inspection of this impressive canal tunnel.

Working in a confined over-water environment required a stable, safe and manoeuvrable platform. Our modular pontoon system, complete with full edge protection, enabled engineers to carry out detailed inspections efficiently while maintaining the highest safety standards.

Whether it’s bridges, canals, reservoirs, rivers or marine infrastructure, we provide temporary floating access solutions across the UK.

If your next project requires safe access over water, we’d be happy to help.

🏗️ Project Complete – Preston Brook Tunnel 🚤

We’re proud to have recently supported Arcadis by providing a bespoke floating work platform for the Principal Inspection of the historic Preston Brook Tunnel on the Trent & Mersey Canal.

Working inside a confined canal tunnel presented unique challenges, including restricted headroom, limited access and the need for a stable, manoeuvrable platform over water.

Our modular pontoon system provided a safe and secure working platform, complete with edge protection, allowing the inspection team to move efficiently through the tunnel while carrying out detailed structural assessments.

At Floating Pontoon Solutions, we specialise in temporary floating access solutions for:

✅ Bridge inspections
✅ Canal & tunnel inspections
✅ Reservoirs & dams
✅ River engineering projects
✅ Marine construction
✅ Environmental surveys

No matter how challenging the location, we can design and install a floating platform to suit your project.
