Marine Dock Systems Aluminium Framed & Hardwood Decked Pontoon System The following information is provided to enable the appraisal of Marine Dock Systems (MDS) aluminium framed and hardwood decked pontoon system The key elements of the Marine Dock Systems alloy frame and hardwood decked pontoon system are as follows: Flotation Modules • Flotation modules are one piece, rotationally moulded, U.V. Stabilized, high stress-crack and impact resistant polyethylene. They provide long life, low maintenance flotation which is not attacked by osmosis nor other chemicals found in the marine environment. Marine Dock Systems has pontoons and marinas in use now for over 25 years, with the flotation modules requiring No Maintenance. The advantage of rotationally moulded polyethylene is as follows: a) The flotation modules are one (1) piece. A Marine Dock Systems (MDS) rotationally moulded float is seamless and does not rely on glue or plastic welding for sealing the skin against the ingress of water or structural integrity. b) The minimum wall thickness of the MDS polyethylene float is 10mm. The moulding process also allows the build up of the wall thickness in the corners of the module. This maximises the structural integrity, impact, and abrasion resistance where it is required most. Marine Dock Systems is confident that the impact resistance of its rotationally moulded polyethylene floats is far greater than many other pontoon systems on the market. A sledge hammer demonstration can be preformed at the MDS c) In the event of a module being damaged, it can easily be replaced by unbolting and fitting a new module. d) Flotation modules are stocked by Marine Dock Systems and are Marine Dock Systems, Aluminium framed, hardwood decked pontoon system Page 1 of 2

Decking is Australian Kiln Dried F27 hardwood, dressed and preservative treated, for long life, structural and aesthetically pleasing finish. All deck boards are dressed and finished with a pencil round edge to Decking is evenly gapped to ensure water is drained quickly from the The decking is fixed with stainless steel bugle head screws that are recess below the decking surface. (Alternative decking such as aluminium plate, expanded mesh, composite plastic planking etc. also are possible.) • Structural framework is fully welded, marine grade aluminium, which provides high corrosion...
