Specialist, practical solutions
Ecology and survey work near water often means working out of hours, monitoring, testing and sampling in difficult-to-reach places — riverbanks, canals, reservoirs, or tidal zones. BM Safety delivers practical solutions so your teams can get the job done safely and efficiently:
How Ecology Teams Have Used Us
Ecology and survey work near water often means early mornings, late nights, and quiet sites where minimal disturbance matters. We make access simple, safe, and discreet:
- Our electric-powered boats provide quiet, low-impact transport ideal for wildlife and sensitive environments.
- Experienced in-water operatives navigate difficult waterways and remote access points to get teams safely where they need to be.
- Floating platforms can be configured as stable workstations or discreet hides for observation and sampling.
- We can mobilise quickly, supporting multi-site monitoring projects or one-off survey visits,
- Safety boats and trained crews on hand for compliance and peace of mind.
- We also assist with launch logistics and equipment transport, reducing setup time and risk.
