SYSTEM 2000 A MODERN ALUMINIUM-STRUCTURED PONTOON SYSTEM Port Solent, Portsmouth, UK DURABILITY Considerable care has been taken through extensive long term testing to ensure the aluminium alloy used is suitable for use in marine environments. A series of tests were conducted on System 2000 prototype units to establish their structural adequacy. SERVICES Services have often been an afterthought in marina construction but easy access to cables and connections during installation and subsequently for maintenance saves money. System 2000 walkways may be fitted with continuous ducts along both sides of walkways which give direct access to services and connections without the need to remove decking.
