What is a Suspended Working Platform?

A Suspended Working Platform is used to help facilitate access to a structure, so that essential work can be conducted. This is crucial across infrastructure operations such as Structural Investigations, Infrastructure Monitoring, Maintenance and remedial work situated in challenging environments, which may require marine access and mobile platforms for working at height.  

Suspending Working Platforms can be applied to: 

  • Marine and Offshore: Piers, jetties, oil rigs.  
  • Highways: Bridges, viaducts, towers. 
  • Railways: Tunnel, shaft system, bridges. 
  • Industrial: Conveyor systems, storage tanks, warehouses. 
  • Commercial: Stadiums, shopping centres, heritage sites. 
  • Energy: Power stations and windfarms. 
  • High-rise Construction

As infrastructure experts, we’re also proud to provide various methods of Specialist Access Support to support with Suspended Working Platforms and Marine Access Systems, such as Drone Inspections, Confined Space Access and Rope Access.

Suspended Working Platforms at BES Group

Every Suspended Working Platform we install provides a stable and secure work environment for each Infrastructure Investigation. Our suspended access systems are designed to be lightweight, modular, and portable, which not only simplifies transport and storage but also minimises environmental impact. 

Deck Access Platforms

Provides a robust and stable platform that consists of modular blocks secured to a wire rope system, using a unique hook and clasp design. This system can be quickly installed, significantly reducing overall access costs and project timelines. 

Tensioned Access Platforms

A versatile access solution which features a stable net, which is tensioned. It includes an integrated knot system to provide additional footholds, making it suitable for lightweight, adaptable access. 

Containment Platform

This offers a secure, enclosed workspace, essential for protecting personnel from falling objects in environments where work is being carried out at height above them. This system ensures safety, reduces project risks, and complies with stringent safety regulations. 

Cradle Access Systems

Suspended cradles are lightweight, highly portable, and designed to enhance productivity while reducing access costs. Cradle access is particularly beneficial for tasks that require extensive tool use and unrestricted movement.
