The pontoons represent versatile marine infrastructure that can be implemented in a broad range of applications including:
Breakwaters – The pontoons:
Provide very substantial wave attenuation
- Are especially well suited for deep water breakwater locations
- Rise and fall with the tide
- Create flushing bays
Piers – The pontoons:
- Can provide berthing for vessels of up to 400 feet in length
- Can accommodate pedestrians and vehicles
Floating Platforms – The pontoons:
Can carry significant loads such as
- Heavy equipment and
- Building
The pontoons may be:
- Resurfaced to a high level of finish such as stamped concrete
- Ballasted to achieve the desired freeboard and draft
- Structurally enhanced, as required, to carry additional deck loads
- Secured by anchors and/or piles
