Lakes & Reservoirs Access

Being so easy to mobilise, ScafFloat is a great option for floating access, lifting and works taking place on lakes, ponds, lochs and reservoirs.

 

From a basic pontoon to a self-propelled workboat with a knuckle boom cane, we can provide a range of useful solutions for work on assets like:

  • Penstocks
  • Quays
  • Pontoons
  • Mooring
  • Intakes
  • Eel screens

Lakes & Reservoirs Case Studies

Dive survey – Bewl Water, Kent

GPS MACS, our long-standing marine civils partner, contracted by CMDP JV for a Southern Water dive survey at Bewl Water, Kent, needed a pontoon to support their operations.

Equipment Transport – Cornwall

As part of a planned redevelopment of the southern shore of the lake (which is only accessible by water) the CST needed to transport approx. 50 tonnes of plant, machinery, and building materials across the lake.

Geophysical Surveying – Scotland

Fugro needed to carry out a geophysical survey on a remote reservoir in North West Scotland with no vehicle access. They asked us for a self-propelled ScaffFloat that would be highly manoeuvrable and hold station accurately.

Tree removal

A large oak tree had fallen into the river next to a busy ferry landing and was blocking navigation. The tree surgeon worked from an 8m x 4m ScaffFloat pontoon.

Eel Screen Lifting – River Severn

The contracting water authority needed to fit a new eel screen solution at their water treatment plant on the upper River Severn.

Aquaculture pontoon

We provided an 8m x 4m ScaffFloat platform to fit and store shellfish cages that would be easily retreivable, for an aquaculture company.
