Survey platforms
Stable vessels and pontoons configured around instruments, working tolerances and the survey team's operating sequence.

A stable base
in difficult places.
WHH provides safety boats, stable survey platforms, barge-mounted access equipment and specialist marine support—giving specialists a safe and practical place to work where land-based access is not enough.
The platform is part of the method
Access designed
around the task.
Survey and inspection work often depends on stability, positioning and repeatable access.
We work backwards from the instrument, structure or workface to define the vessel, deck arrangement, restraint, access plant, safety provision and supporting craft. This can be a single barge-mounted MEWP or a complete package for an unusual environment.
Islington Tunnel survey
A working platform
inside the tunnel.
A compact marine platform gave the specialist survey team a stable base for people, instruments and equipment inside one of London's most restricted canal environments.
The configuration brought the workface, safety arrangements and project support together on the water, where conventional land access was not available.

A complete support package
The right base,
equipment and people.
Every configuration is developed around reach, stability, water depth, headroom, navigation and the needs of the specialist team.
Access at height
Barge-mounted MEWPs, scissor lifts and lifting equipment for soffits, outfalls, bridge structures and waterside assets.
Safety support
Suitable safety craft and competent crews supporting works beside, over or within a live waterway.
Welfare & logistics
Welfare boats, equipment transport and project-specific support where shore facilities or access are limited.
Access at height
Put the workface
within safe reach.
Access equipment can be carried and positioned on the water to reach bridge soffits, steelwork and other waterside structures.
Rapid mobilisation
A compact platform for
small and awkward sites.
Modular and trailerable equipment creates options where the launch point, waterway dimensions or programme do not suit a conventional vessel. Deck arrangement and edge protection can be configured around the work before mobilisation.
Safe, practical access
Support around
the whole operation.
The platform is only one part of the method. Suitable people, safety provision and workable access to the asset matter just as much.
Safety support
People and provision matched to the site
Water safety arrangements and competent crews can be incorporated into the marine package for work beside, over or within the waterway.
Inspection access
Get close enough to understand the asset
Practical positioning and site-specific access help inspection teams reach waterside assets and gather the information needed for maintenance planning.
