Product catalog summary
Introduction
The document discusses the innovative design and environmental benefits of the MAADI Group's Composite Floating Breakwater, a solution for shoreline and watercraft protection.

Specifications
The Floating Breakwater (FB) integrates extruded aluminum modules with a steel submerged frame and vinyl panels. Aluminum's properties such as low modulus of elasticity, energy absorption, resilience, and corrosion resistance make it ideal for preventing shoreline erosion and protecting marine vessels.

Design and Performance
The FB design features custom hollow aluminum extrusions with internal links for increased torsional rigidity. Built-in tracks allow for the attachment of dockside accessories. The FBs are effective against winds up to 74 mph and three-foot wave heights, with flexible joints allowing stress release between modules. In shallow waters, pilings prevent swaying and allow free-heave motion.

Environmental Benefits
Unlike traditional breakwaters, the Composite Floating Breakwater minimizes environmental impact by avoiding large sub-surface soil foundations and promoting water circulation and fish migration. It eliminates issues associated with rubber tire breakwaters, such as fouling growth and instability.

Applications
The FBs are suitable for new constructions or renovations, offering durability and corrosion resistance. They protect coastlines and vessels, contributing to a sustainable marina landscape.

Conclusion
MAADI Group's Floating Breakwaters provide a safe harbor for vessels and shorelines, combining functionality with environmental responsibility. For more information, contact [email protected].
