Marine Scaffolding

We provide purpose-built solutions for the marine industry.

 

Here at Solent Scaffolding, we have a range of scaffold systems bespoke for marine use, with all the inherent demands that come with this sector. From repairs in shipyards to working on infrastructure by the coast, our scaffolding solutions are designed with safety, durability, and efficiency in mind. Having worked in the marine environment for years, we understand that many demands are unique to bad weather and the corrosion of space in small-sized workplaces. Thus, we can always ensure dependable, secure scaffold systems.

All-inclusive Marine Scaffolding Services

 

Marine scaffolding is more complex compared to other conventional scaffolding systems. Working in an environment greatly exposed to saltwater, strong winds, and variable tides demands scaffolding that is specialised to bear up under these hostile conditions and allow safe and efficient access for personnel.
At Solent Scaffolding, we have an array of marine scaffolding services based around your particular requirements for both marine and coastal locations.

Essential Services We Offer:

​

• Scaffolding for Shipyards: Provide scaffolding solutions for ship repairs, hull inspection, and maintenance in dry docks and within shipyards. Coastal Infrastructure Scaffolding will support the construction and maintenance of coastal structures, such as bridges, ports, harbours, and seawalls.

• Anti-Corrosion Materials: Use high-grade and permanent materials that resist saltwater corrosion to provide more life and structural stability.

• Tidal and Weather-Resilient Systems: Scaffolding designs that adequately address the variation of water levels and critical weather conditions linked to marine surroundings.

​

Relevance of Advanced Marine Scaffolding

 

Proper design of marine scaffolding requires a good deal of understanding of the particular problems facing one in a marine environment. If scaffolding is located in shipyards, harbours, or coastline areas, it is continuously exposed to saltwater, wind, and other environmental elements, which would alter its stability and durability.

Key Challenges in Marine Scaffolding

​

• Saltwater Corrosion: The big challenge on marine sites is that the saltwater around could be extremely aggressive, which degrades scaffolding made of traditional material in a brief time. We use galvanised, non-corrosive material-based scaffolds for long-lasting use and safety.

• Changes in Water Level: Tidal shifts may lead to instability if the scaffolding is not judiciously designed for such changes. Our solutions are flexible, meaning stability is maintained even when water levels rise and fall.

• Severe Weather: In most cases, marine/coastal working sites are exposed to strong winds and even storms, which may pose danger. Our scaffolding systems guarantee working stability against such conditions and safety for the workers.

​

Customised Marine Scaffold Solutions for Any Application

 

At Solent Scaffolding, we understand that each marine project can be different. This is why we tailor our scaffolding services to meet the specific needs of each project. Even in the constantly changing and challenging environment of marine operations, our customised scaffold systems ensure safe and effective operations.

Our customised approach encompasses:

​

• Surveys and site assessments: A site survey is carried out at the start of each project to clearly understand any issues that may arise, including environmental and space problems. Such information is important to ensure the right scaffolding solution for your project.

• Custom Designed Scaffolding: In line with the findings of the preliminary survey, our engineers can custom design a scaffolding solution to fit your project requirements in terms of tidal movements, protection against corrosion, and access requirements.

• Installation and Dismantling Services: Our team ensures that the installation is a quick, efficient procedure with safety precautions without any interruptions in your project timeline. We handle dismantling efficiently and safely once your project is complete.

Safety in scaffolding maritime

​

Safety is the approach of Solent Scaffolding towards all activities undertaken by the company. Marine environments tend to be more hazardous due to slippery surfaces, high winds, and confined areas; thus, they demand appropriate safety guidelines for all marine scaffolding projects. All our scaffolding systems are designed with safety in mind, which is the most critical factor for ensuring that all necessary safety standards and regulations are met.

Our Safety Procedures:

Marine Environment Specific Training: Since the team members undergo special training for marine hazardous environments, each and every aspect of scaffolding and its usage is harbour safety-related.
Constant Safety Inspection: Scaffold structures are constantly and continuously subjected to routine safety audits and inspections with a view to ensuring quality and the highest levels of safety.

WEATHER MONITORING The offshore environment is always subject to sudden and dramatic changes in the weather. We are constantly monitoring the weather so our scaffolding system remains stable and safe at all times.

​

Industries We Serve
We offer a full marine scaffolding service in most general industrial applications. The solutions we design and provide are indeed safe and effective, even in very demanding marine settings. Thanks to our experiences in those industries, we make sure to design and deliver efficient scaffolding solutions that are also in compliance with industry regulations.

​

Vessels Built and Repairs: Scaffolding at the site for the repair, overhaul, and maintenance of vessels in shipyards and dry docks.
Coastal infrastructure: scaffolding in the construction and repair of the coast's bridges, harbours, piers, and other works.
Marine Engineering: Involves supporting projects that entail repairs or new constructions in aquatic environments.

​

Marine Scaffolding and Sustainability

At Solent Scaffolding, we believe in a solution that is going to be not just safe and efficient but also responsive to the environment, and we work to minimise the impact of our scaffolding services on sensitive marine sites.

 

Sustainable Solutions

• Recyclable Materials: We use scaffolding material that can be reused or recycled after work, lessening the ecological footprint of each project undertaken.

• Non-Toxic Coatings: We treat all our scaffolding with environmentally friendly, non-toxic coatings that prevent corrosion without harming marine ecosystems.

• Waste Minimisation: We minimise waste generation through modular scaffolding systems, which are reusable and versatile on many projects.
