A Tailored Solution,
Every Time
Whether it’s a road bridge, footbridge, or rail bridge, we provide access to give surveyors and engineers peace of mind where safety over water is critical.
How Bridge Teams Use Us
We are proud to have worked with Network Rail and other rail contractors on major infrastructure projects. From structural inspections to repainting and repairs, rail jobs demand fast mobilisation and full compliance.
We make it straightforward: The benefits are clear:
- Pontoons can be anchored beneath bridges, providing stable platforms to work from without loading the structure
- Scaffold towers can be built directly onto pontoons for working at height
- Safety boats are on standby to keep teams protected
- Our experienced team of in-water operatives makes our solutions quicker to deploy and safer to operate

Case Study: Bridge Repair Access
Griffiths Contractors Ltd
Griffiths were tasked with carrying out concrete repair works to the underside of one of Bristol’s busiest bridges. When the Bristol Harbour Master required that river access remain open at all times to mitigate potential adverse weather and safety concerns, BM Safety was brought in to design a solution that solved the fast-flowing tidal water, weir and restricted access challenges.
