aqualift bucket boat under bridge inspectionsOur patented Aqualift bucket service for under bridge inspection provides safe, controlled access to the underside of bridge structures in over-water environments. Using a boom-style access platform mounted on a stable floating base, this service supports inspection, maintenance, and repair activities where ground-based access or traditional scaffolding is impractical.

The Aqualift bucket system is designed to position personnel and equipment precisely beneath bridge decks, girders, bearings, and other structural elements, while maintaining stability and compliance with applicable safety standards.

Projects We Support

  • Routine and in-depth bridge inspections
  • Visual and hands-on assessment of structural components
  • Concrete condition assessments and minor repair work
  • Steel inspection and surface evaluation
  • Bearing, joint, and drainage component inspection
  • Installation or inspection of utilities, lighting, or monitoring equipment

This service is particularly effective for bridges over water where access from below is required and conventional access methods are not feasible.

Safety & Compliance Considerations

Safety is a critical component of the Aqualift bucket service for under bridge inspection. The system is designed to support compliance with applicable OSHA, DOT, and marine safety requirements.

Key safety considerations include:

  • Guardrails and fall-protection accommodations within the work bucket
  • Load-rated platforms and clearly defined operating limits
  • Redundant controls and emergency stop capabilities
  • Stable positioning to reduce sway and movement during work

Operational planning and coordination help ensure that access activities are conducted in a controlled and predictable manner over water.
