Marinas
The company design, manufacture and install Pontoons and Fingers for use on Coastal and Inland Waterways. See bottom of the page for examples of our work.

Pontoons & Fingers
The pontoons are either 6, 8 or 10 metres long by 2, 2.5 and 3 metres wide (UDL 2.0 - 4 Kn/sm). The fingers are 1m wide by 6, 8, 10 or 12 metres long with a 2m Lead in (UDL 1.2Kn/sm). All fingers have raduised ends and are fendered with PVC or Docksafe.

The main frame is fully welded steel fabrication with 180 x 75 RSC main members and includes a SHS central torsional member all acid pickled and hot dip galvanised finish.

The deck can be:

Celcure Treated Swedish Redwood
Hardwood
Earthwood
GRP Panels (in any BS colour)
Fibre Reinforced Concrete

The floats are rotationally moulded UV stabilised medium density Polyethylene. This process produces a one-piece shell approximately 5mm thick which is virtually indestructible and resistant to oil and chemicals. The floats are filled with polystyrene beads which are injected with steam to form a solid mass. They are secured in position with stainless steel angle brackets fixed to stringers with stainless self tap screws.

Access Bridges
Access Bridges are fabricated in either mild steel (galvanised after manufacture) or Aluminium and come in a range of sizes to suit application (see picture below).

Moorings
The pontoons can be moored by fixed piles into the sea bed or Universal Beams fixed to quay walls. Chain and Seaflex moorings are also widely used and fixed to the sea bed with either anchors, concrete blocks or screw anchors.

Recently installed 50 metres of Pontoons with Earthwood decking at Warrenpoint Breakwater Pier in Northern Ireland and also 100 metres of Pontoons and Access bridge for Wick Harbour Authority in Caithness
