Establish the requirement
Define crew numbers, project duration, access, servicing, storage and the facilities needed at the workface.
Discuss a project ↗Floating welfare & site support
Keep the workface
supplied and supported.
Floating welfare barges, secure storage and adaptable project bases for construction and maintenance works where land-side space is limited—or where facilities need to move with the workface.
Facilities where they are needed
Make the water
part of the site compound.
On constrained canalside sites, welfare, storage and temporary facilities can consume valuable working space—or there may be no practical land-side location for them at all.
WHH can configure welfare craft, work pontoons and secure storage as a floating extension of the site compound. The arrangement can remain at a fixed location or move with a linear project, keeping people, tools and materials close to the workface.
We plan access, servicing, navigation, loading and interfaces with the wider construction programme so the floating facilities work as an integrated part of the site.
A practical site-support package
Facilities, access and
marine logistics.
The right arrangement depends on the workforce, duration, site interfaces and available water space.
Configure the platform
Select and arrange welfare craft, pontoons, work flats and storage around the available water space and operating method.
Plan access and servicing
Coordinate safe boarding, deliveries, waste, utilities and vessel movements with the wider site logistics plan.
Support the programme
Keep welfare, tools and materials close to a moving or isolated workface as the project develops.
A flexible project base
Welfare and storage
configured around the job.
Welfare and storage can be combined with work platforms, access pontoons and supporting craft to create a compact fixed project base or facilities that move with a linear worksite.
The arrangement is planned around how the project will operate in practice: how personnel board, how supplies and waste are handled, and how the floating facilities interact with navigation and other contractors.
Typical applications

Plan the support space early
Protect working room on a constrained site.
Tell us the workforce, programme, facilities, storage requirement and available waterside access. We can help establish a practical floating arrangement.
