Can anyone provide any ideas to access lights above a huge pool. I am providing pricing to change lights out and just curious how i should go about pricing either scaffolding or a lift. i would like to use a lift but worried about the weight cracking pool. I was thinking scaffolding but that's going to take forever to build and not sure how that would play out on the slope area.

I forgot to mention they will be draining the whole pool.
 
A couple of sheets of plywood to move around to roll a scaffold around on.

Adapt for the sloped areas and use a come-along to keep from rolling downhill.
 
After the pool is empty what will be the height from the bottom of the pool to the lights? Two sections of Baker scaffolding will get you to about 12'.
 
I seem to recall that the picture of the scissor lift on the floats was actually a case of 'damn that looks sketchy as all get out, but was actually engineered and was safe'.

Looking at these instructions: https://www.jlg.com/en/technology-i...6/guidance-for-operating-jlg-mewps-on-a-barge
IMHO they left out a requiring a proper evaluation of barge stability; when I look at the picture I just imagine it starting to tip, the CG moving sideways, and the whole thing going over. But if there is enough ballast at the bottom of the floats it should work just fine....
 
I have a good idea. I did a YMCA in Oklahoma where the fixtures were high above the pool and all the ballasts were at a lower level and remotely located. All the windows and doors were already installed as the fixtures were back ordered badly. Just had to make sure OSHA wasn't around!
