Self-propelled, modular floating work platforms made from scaffolding or fixed for fitting into a standard container.
About us
ScaffFloat is a modular pontoon system made from custom floats and standard scaffolding, providing flexible platforms for civil engineering works. WorkFloat is a self-propelled, floating work platform that ‘folds’ up for easy and economical transportation. WorkFloat has been designed to bridge an identified gap in the market between small workboats (RIBs, dorys, small landing craft etc) that have limited lifting and carrying abilities; and larger, more expensive workboats and steel multicats that, whilst very capable, have limited and costly re-location options and require deep water, and a large crane or hoist, for launching and recovery. CONSTRUCTION: A metal space frame provides WorkFloat with its strength, and then utilises tough plastic floats for boyancy. Two counter facing outboards provide propulsion, a Hiab and A-Frame give impressive lifting capabilities and our safety box provides all the necessary safety equipment for licensing under the Workboat Code. OPERATING AREA: With such fast and easy mobilisation, this ‘mini multicat’ can reach the parts other workboats can’t. Designed to work on lakes, reservoirs, ponds, rivers, canals, flooded land, and large puddles; as well as tidal estuaries, hard to reach coastal sites, conflict & disaster zones and the developing world coastline. TRANSPORT: Simply tow or ship it to where you need it in the world – then use local plant to self launch it on any suitable slipway or beach in under an hour. You then have a large, stable, self propelled work platform with lifting capabilities and all necessary paperwork to go about your commercial activity and get the job done. VERSATILE: This little vessel is all about versatility – it can be used for commercial diving, civils, bridge repairs, aquaculture, light dredging, oil response, disaster & flood relief, SAR, ferry (cars and passengers), survey work, sampling, drilling, superyacht support, military, and film work.

LEVENS VIADUCT We have been working for Network Rail - Story Contracting Limited - GPS Marine and Civil Services Ltd on Levens Rail Viaduct in the Lake District at the top of Morecambe Bay. We have been providing a range of ScaffFloat pontoons for the works there. > Materials Transfer The pontoons were dried out on the foreshore below the site compound. A telehandler loaded materials at low water. We then floated them off at high tide and transferred the sand, cement, water and other consumables to the barge and landing craft moored at the viaduct. Over the last few months, we have moved hundreds of tons of materials. > Concrete Collar Installation We designed and built two self-propelled bespoke ScaffFloat pontoons with a recess and lifting beams. These pontoons carried the 10t pre-cast concrete collars to the viaduct and docked around the pier. The collars were then lowered into position. More photos and videos will follow. Well done and thank you to a great team up there working in very challenging conditions. A 10m tidal range and very strong tidal currents, combined with constantly shifting sands and rainfall flowing off the lakes, have made this a tricky spot to operate. Last year our big project was Barmouth, a tricky, tidal rail viaduct. This year it is Levens. Looking forward to seeing what next year brings.

FLOATING MEWP Introducing our new Niftylift Ltd 90 that we have just refitted; overhauling the rams, new hoses, strip down, service, and paint. It has been further customized for marine use, and a custom LOLER test was performed to mimic the marine environment. This small trailer-based MEWP can provide access up to 9m and is pictured here supporting a recent project at A&P Group Limited Falmouth, part of the APCL Group, where we provided access to replace the rear ramps on the Irish Ferries Isle of Innisfree. After the job was complete we took the opportunity to use the side of the ship to show the MEWP at full extension on an 8m x 6.4m ScaffFloat pushing on to hold station. The MEWP joins our hire fleet and provides a tidy package on a self-propelled ScaffFloat, with optional four-point anchor spread and winches, for floating access alongside and under ships, bridges, jetties, piers, and other structures over or next to the water. #pontoon #workboat #scaffold #marine #port #ship #dockyard #access #scaffold #scaffolding #mewp

AUTUMN EQUINOX Stunning evening last night. Enjoyed a row out on one of the biggest spring tides of the year and official start of Autumn. Tomorrow we have low tide here in Falmouth bellow chart datum which is rare, and I suspect this lovely high pressure we have will push it down further. Tides play such a massive part of the work we do, with so much of our work now taking place in tricky to reach tidal locations where the whole project timetable is set around the rythem of the tides. #marine #pontoon #scaffold #tides #equinox #commercialmarine

GROWTH OPPORTUNITY The last three years have been crazy. ScaffFloat has come from small start up with a proprietary product, to an established trading business, proven product and what I hope is a respected brand in the markets we serve which include marine civils, diving, military, access, events, demolition, rail, bridges, commercial marine and geotechnical. We have grown our team, stock levels, market knowledge, systems, processes, and design. We have achieved certification, compliance, and accreditations from multiple associations and authorities. Looking forward we have a healthy pipeline of work with two-thirds of our upcoming jobs coming from repeat customers. We are also launching our new overseas franchise offer this week at Seawork. This offers a really exciting opportunity to individuals, businesses and larger organisations abroad to offer ScaffFloat hire and contracting service in their region. To take the successful business model we have here and replicate it, supported from the UK with design, certification, systems, marketing, process and advice. In support of our future growth plans we will be soon be implementing a restructure of the company to better prepare for the next chapter as we seek to secure new opportunities, both in the UK and overseas. This will provide an exciting opportunity for new partners to invest in ScaffFloat; partners who can add value in support of the business as it seeks to move into new markets and realise its global potential. Anyone interested please contact me 07815 11 87 56. #scafffloat #investment #buisness #franchise #pontoon #marine #commercialmarine #scaffold #access

SHORTLIST - BRIDGE AWARDS Good to be shortlisted for ‘Bridge Maintenance Contractor’ at the New Civil Engineer Awards. Working under bridges makes up over half the work we do with #ScaffFloat and our submission included a number of case studies for rail, road and pedestrian #bridges. We also included a case study for the work we did at Barmouth Viaduct last year helping Pennys Group, Alun Griffiths (Contractors) Ltd and Network Rail replacing the historic swing bridge over the estuary. ScaffFloat has now been used to lift in and remove bridges over water, in pieces and whole. It can be used underneath for floating access or hoisted up underneath. A few pictures attached of us providing under bridge access for: STRESS UK // Goldhawk Bridge Restoration Ltd // Balfour Beatty plc // AmcoGiffen // Network Rail // Alun Griffiths (Contractors) Ltd // Environment Agency // Mott MacDonald // Story Contracting Limited // Centregreat // J.F.E.
