10.17m Aluminium Civil Work Boat – Low Deck Construction Platform | Survey 2D/3D | Heavy Lift Ready

Purpose-Built Civil Construction Work Platform for Close-to-Water Access

This 10.17m aluminium work boat is engineered for civil construction and marine infrastructure operations that demand direct, low-level access to the waterline. Its low deck working height gives crews a major operational advantage, allowing safe, efficient performance in environments where traditional higher-deck vessels struggle.

Originally purchased and modified for a government project, the vessel completed one year of continuous operation in sheltered lake waters under strict maintenance and compliance standards. It proved itself as a reliable, adaptable work platform capable of handling demanding civil tasks.

Flexible Work Configuration for Real-World Jobs

The vessel was customised for specialised civil works and retains multiple operational configurations, giving the next owner a highly adaptable platform:

• Fully enclosed aluminium cabin reinstalled for all-weather operation
• Telescopic enclosed canopy system included (previously used for bridge clearance operations)
• Removable side access work frames allowing personnel to safely work alongside the vessel in shallow water using scaffold plank systems
• Cabin side sections included for optional reinstallation or modification flexibility

These features make the vessel highly suited to shoreline, bridge, culvert, and marine civil works where access and adaptability matter.

Heavy Duty Deck Strength – Built for Real Equipment

This vessel was actively used with a 2-ton excavator onboard, operating as a lifting and placement platform for concrete infrastructure works. A reinforced hard plate and structural deck frame were engineered to support up to a 5-ton Hiab crane installation, giving serious lifting capability for future operations.

The low-to-water deck design improves load handling stability and makes equipment transfer significantly safer and more efficient in shallow or constrained environments.

Reliable Power & Hydraulic Capability

A proven Volvo 110kW diesel inboard engine provides dependable propulsion with no reported issues. Supporting this is an upgraded heavy-duty hydraulic pump system with flow control valves, enabling onboard hydraulic operations for tools and plant equipment.
