Boat Hire, Trained Operatives and Safety Boat Sales

OPERATED WATER-SAFETY SUPPORT

Murlac provides operated safety boats for construction projects, outdoor events and activities taking place on or beside the water.

We supply the boat, suitable operatives, rescue equipment and communications required for the task. We also sell a range of safety boats for clients requiring their own dedicated craft.

Safety Cover Built Around the Activity

An effective safety-boat arrangement requires the right craft, crew and recovery equipment.

Murlac reviews the waterbody, working area, access, number of people exposed and rescue requirements before recommending the most suitable arrangement.

Our service is commonly used for bridge works, pontoon installations, dredging, temporary dams, reservoirs, music festivals, country shows, demonstrations and other events held around water.

HDPE Boats

Robust commercial craft suited to demanding construction, industrial and event applications where durability and repeated use are important.

Bridge Repair and Inspection

Operated safety-boat cover for bridge inspections, structural surveys and repair works around piers, abutments and water-level structures. Our crews support operatives working above, beside or directly over rivers, canals and other waterways.

Pontoon Installation

Safety-boat support during the assembly, positioning, anchoring and removal of temporary or permanent floating pontoons. The boat and crew can work alongside installation teams to provide rescue cover throughout the operation.

Temporary Dam Works

Water-rescue cover for teams installing, monitoring, adjusting and removing temporary dams or cofferdam systems. This can include support during watercourse isolation, controlled dewatering and changes in flow conditions.

Dredging and Desilting

Operated safety boats for dredging, desilting and sediment-removal projects on rivers, canals, lakes, reservoirs and lagoons. Rescue cover can support personnel working from dredgers, floating platforms, pontoons or bankside equipment.

Reservoir and Lagoon Maintenance

Safety-boat provision for inspection, cleaning, vegetation clearance and maintenance works across reservoirs, settlement lagoons and treatment ponds. Our crews help protect operatives working in open water and difficult-to-access areas.

Culvert and Outfall Works

Rescue-boat cover for construction, inspection and maintenance around culverts, headwalls, outfalls and drainage structures. This is particularly valuable where access is restricted or where operatives are exposed to changing flows and water levels.

Scaffolding and Platforms Over Water

Safety support for operatives working from scaffolding, temporary access platforms and structures positioned above or alongside water. The boat can be integrated into the site rescue plan and positioned to provide rapid access if required.

Pipeline and Pumping Projects

Safety-boat support during the installation, inspection and removal of floating pipelines, hoses, pumps and water-transfer systems. Our crews can assist where equipment crosses water or where personnel need access to floating infrastructure.

River and Canal Works

Operated safety boats for construction, maintenance and inspection projects within live rivers, canals and navigable waterways. This can include bank repairs, vegetation clearance, asset inspections, water-control works and general in-channel operations.
