TPA supports you from initial concept, through design to construction, installation, project management and de-install as and when required; all delivered by our highly trained, accredited and experienced staff. The double full fl oat has been designed to increase the stiffness and strength of the pontoon while reducing the time it takes to assemble a pontoon or dock. Its unique service channel allows you to run water and/or power through your pontoon and can also be used as a security device linking all the floats together in a secure way.
Load Bearing Specification: • 1m2 of single layered – floats has 320kg of buoyancy • 1m2 of dual layered – floats using long connector pins, giving 640kg of buoyancy

••Easy to use and maintenance free floating platforms. ••No open areas to trip or fall through. ••Modular technology to meet your bespoke size & configuration requirements. ••For added safety and security you can add TPA edge railings Load Bearing Capacity around your installation. TPA’s NATO Modular Steel Pontoons can be connected to each other on the short or long sides. To do this, the pontoons must are lowered into the water by means of a lifting device first (e.g. crane or forklift). This can be done by means of four suitable hoisting slings or chains which can be fixed at the four available lifting lugs. On the water the pontoons are pushed together and then coupled by means of the connecting elements. (connection forks and connection rings) For assembly only 2-3 people are required. In this way floating work platforms with different dimensions can be built very easy. It’s also possible to equip your floating work platform with various accessories, if you wish (e.g. railing, motor support, mooring winch, etc.). 6

TPA’s customer required a robust & stable platform to enable them to position a large heavy drilling rig onto the water. Using TPA’s NATO Steel modular pontoon floats, a square platform with an access hole in the centre provided the perfect manouverable solution. TPA’s NATO floating units can be connected together in a variety of configurations to make marine work platforms, ferries, barges, causeways, floating bridges, access ramps and landing stages.

Whatever your requirement we can provide a solution, floating walkways, towpath diversions, work platforms of all shapes and sizes for a wide variety of projects and locations.
Scaffold towers can be attached for aerial access, or the pontoons can be used as a work platform to assemble and manoeuvre equipment or substructures into position. Our solutions will also enable full pedestrian access and transport light vehicles.
With a floating platform you can work safely from the water. We have various types of edge-safe, hand railing and barriers available and the modular pontoons can facilitate a site specific design, increasing efficiency and enabling you to work in complete safety.
We can provide a low profile system for working closer to the water or accommodate much larger projects with TPA’s range of NATO steel pontoons.

TPA provide hire & installation of the pontoon for bridge inspection and maintenance and we can assist further in the supply of the full access solution, including floating pontoon, delivery, installation, and tower scaffold. We’ll also work with you to make manoeuvring the pontoon simple. Using ropes or outboard engines for larger projects, we’ll ensure your floating platform gives you inspection and maintenance access wherever you need it.

Under Bridge environments can bring their own access difficulties, however the low weight, modular construction of TPA’s floating pontoon systems means we can assemble pontoons away from the water’s edge and carry them to a suitable entry point (sometimes hundreds of metres from the bridge location). From there, man handling, ropes and outboard motors can swiftly and easily position the pontoon exactly where you need it.
