Bridge Repair Access and Under-Bridge Scaffolding

Asset type

Access under and around bridges for inspection, scaffolding, repairs and lifting.

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.
