We were delighted to support Smart Managed Solutions on a recent project at St Katharine Docks in central London. The task involved installing temporary floating walkways to enable safe and stable access for a team carrying out cabling and wiring upgrades along the waterside.
Bespoke Floating Pontoon Installation
Working closely with the client, our team installed a tailored floating pontoon system that provided direct access to the building façades and quay walls. The installation was delivered quickly and efficiently, despite the logistical challenges posed by the busy central location and surrounding architecture.
Supporting Electrical and Data Installations
Smart Managed Solutions required a dependable access solution to facilitate the installation of vital infrastructure cabling. Our modular pontoons offered the ideal solution – allowing their engineers to work confidently at the water’s edge, without the need for more disruptive or invasive methods.
The pontoons, fitted with safety barriers to create a defined working zone, providing peace of mind for the crews working along the edge of the dock. The stability and adaptability of our system meant it could follow the contours of the dockside, even around tight corners and awkward angles.
Rapid Deployment with Minimal Disruption
Delivery and installation were carried out with precision planning to minimise any impact on the marina’s normal operations. Pontoon segments were delivered to site and craned into the water directly, before being assembled on-site by our experienced operatives.
Thanks to the flexible design of our modular system, we were able to build the accessways to suit the unique layout of the dock – ensuring full coverage where needed while maintaining a clear channel for marina users and vessels.
A Recognisable Landmark, A Trusted Solution
With The Shard visible on the skyline and the Dickens Inn just across the water, this was a project that demanded a professional, well-managed approach. We’re proud to have provided a floating platform that met all safety, operational, and environmental considerations in this historic and high-profile location.
