Bridge Repair Access and Under-Bridge Scaffolding

One of the most popular uses for ScaffFloat is to provide access to bridges built over the water.

 

We can provide a safe, stable platform under the bridge with a suitable access platform if needed, to provide access for:

  • Survey and Inspection
  • Scaffolding
  • Maintenance
  • Cutting & Welding
  • Blasting & Painting

As well as providing access from a floating platform, we can also hoist the ScaffFloat up out the water and suspend it under the bridge. Click here for more information.
