Marine construction works using temporary floating pontoons and access walkways during dockside operations in the UK

Brief or semi-permanent installation

Our pontoons can be installed very quickly, a 20m by 3m pontoon complete with cleats, fenders and handrails can be installed, tested and certified within a few hours. The pontoon system can be decommissioned and removed from site just as quickly. Equally, the pontoons can be safely left in place for months on end, with our expert staff making periodic inspections to ensure the installation remains completely safe.

Temporary mooring facilities

Floating Pontoon Hire (a division of Commercial Rib Charter) will design, assemble and install a temporary mooring facility suitable for inland waterways or coastal areas wherever it is needed, giving the right mooring and docking system for the boats that will be operating from it. The pontoons can be customised with access ramps, walkways, handrails, mooring cleats and fenders.

Temporary harbours

The modular system may be used to create platforms and pontoons that are small or large in scale. We have built temporary harbours for major events such as the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow in 2014 and for the PSP Southampton Boat Show, all suitable for accommodating dozens of boats.

Suitable for commercial marine operations

Very often the floating pontoon system is used in conjunction with work boats on inland waterways and reservoirs to access water intake stacks and other pumping facilities. With a long enough walkway, the system may reduce the requirement for work boats to just a standby boat suitable for safety cover (which we can also provide).
