Safety Boats
In many instances Health & Safety
require a safety boat to be present at all times when personnel are
working over the canal or river. These situations typically apply to
bridge work, scaffolding, vegetation clearance and demolition work. |
| |
|
 |
We are able to supply a range of safety boats
for different situations such as inland and tidal rivers.
Our small canal motor workboats are ideal as safety boats
due to their small size, manoeuvrability and stability. They
have large open hold spaces for recovering personnel from
the water and a cabin aft with heating, washing facilities
and dry clothes to get anyone who has fallen in the water
out of their wet clothes into dry kit and kept warm until
medical help arrives. |
|
We also operate a number of tidal river and
coastal safety boats including rigid dinghies and
inflatables for shallow tidal river and estuary conditions.
Our river motor workboats provide excellent safety boat
facilities with good all round visibility, clear working
deck spaces and cabins with heating and washing facilities
together with dry clothes. All river vessels are equipped
with VHF radios and GPS location devises. |
 |
|
 |
We can also provide a number of dinghies
such as rigid fibreglass dinghies and inflatable dinghies
for use on the canal in areas of restricted headroom and
also on tidal rivers for working in shallow water at low
tide. These small dinghies are also useful for stretches of
inland waterway such as lakes and ponds etc where all
equipment and personnel have to access the site by road. |
