Rail Bridge Maintenance Solutions

Modular Pontoon System

Rail bridges are rarely built on perfect right angles, but that’s not a problem when using our modular pontoons. With individual blocks measuring just 0.5 x 0.5 metres in size we can build a bridge repair platform to fit any size and shape of bridge, taking into account abutments and pillars ensuring your workforce can get as near to the work area as possible.

 

Access and walkways
Should access at the bridge site be poor, we are able to build pontoon walkways allowing access all the way to the work platform, saving time and money on land clearance. Outboard motors can also be attached to the pontoons, utilising custom brackets to manoeuvre them into position from hundreds of metres away if required.
Safety On Water
As standard, all of our pontoon installations are fitted with J Safe fence panels providing a safe, secure edge protection system with kick guards keeping all tools and equipment safely on the pontoon deck. We can also fit the pontoon with solar lights, lifebuoys and even provide safety boats if they’re required.
