Marine | Browne's Scaffolding

Ship Shape Scaffolding

With years of experience supporting shipyards, restoration specialists and marine engineers across the UK and Europe we understand the unique demands of working in and around water. Whether it’s a superyacht refit, vessel repaint, or harbour-side repair every structure we design is tailored to the vessel, the workspace, and the conditions on site.

Our scaffolding systems are built to accommodate the complex curves and contours of marine craft, providing secure, efficient access without compromise. All personnel are fully trained and certified, operating to the latest industry and safety standards and ensuring every project is delivered to the highest quality on time and on budget.

Superyacht Redecoration

Dry Dock Access and Encapsulation

Following months of detailed planning and design collaboration, Browne’s constructed a fully encapsulated scaffold structure to enable safe repair and redecoration works on a superyacht within a dry dock environment. The scaffold encased all elevations of the vessel and included a temporary weatherproof cover to protect against the elements. The result was a sealed, controlled environment that ensured precision workmanship while maintaining the highest standards of safety and finish.

Superyacht, Portsmouth

Full Vessel Access

Browne’s Scaffolding was engaged to design and deliver a comprehensive access solution for a high-value superyacht undergoing refurbishment in Portsmouth. The project required months of planning and coordination with the client’s engineering and coating teams. Our structure provided complete, stable access to all sections of the vessel, combining strength, adaptability, and careful attention to the yacht’s contours to safeguard the integrity of the hull and surrounding equipment.

Tender Vessel Refurbishment

Encapsulated Workbay

For this project, Browne’s constructed a scaffold enclosure and encapsulated workbay adjacent to a superyacht to house its tender vessel during a full refurbishment programme. The temporary structure created a secure, weatherproof workspace where the tender could be stripped, repaired, and refinished under controlled conditions before being reinstalled. This bespoke solution demonstrated Browne’s ability to provide innovative, space-efficient designs that support precision marine engineering work.
