Product catalog summary
Introduction
The Waliflote pontoon unit was initially developed for the Brighton marina to handle heavy service loads. It has since evolved to include options such as a concrete deck with hardwood fenders or a traditional pontoon finish with a galvanized steel frame clad in hardwood timber boards and fenders.
Product Overview
The Waliflote is a heavy-duty continuous buoyancy flotation unit that offers wave attenuating characteristics, making it suitable for areas with marginal wave heights for safe marina development. It is used in locations such as Annalong Harbour in Northern Ireland and Shamrock Quay in Southampton.
Specifications
  • Structure: Steel reinforced concrete walls, glassfibre concrete deck, expanded polystyrene integral buoyancy, and elastomer base protection.
  • Decking: Can be used with System 21 deck superstructures or alone with a concrete deck that can be treated with epoxy screeds, paints, and other decorative treatments.
  • Dimensions and Weight: Available in three sizes: Waliflote (11.0 x 2.46 x 0.61m, 7.5t), Super Waliflote (11.46 x 2.46 x 0.95m, 10.0t), and Jumbo Waliflote (11.46 x 2.9 x 0.95m, 12.0t).
  • Freeboard: Varies with and without deck, ranging from 350mm to 700mm.
  • Live Load: Ranges from 3kN/m² to 5.5kN/m².
Design and Flexibility
The Waliflote units are cast in one section and can be used alone or with System 21 walkways for stability and low maintenance. They feature flexible connections with compressed rubber blocks, through bolts, castle nuts, and split pins to ensure security and allow for vertical angular movements without generating noise.
Customization
Other variations of the Waliflote are possible, subject to design requirements.

WALIFLOTE-1

HEAVY DUTY CONTINUOUS BUOYANCY FLOTATION UNIT The original Waliflote pontoon unit was developed for the heavy services loading that was required with the Brighton marina pontoon facility. The pontoon, now evolved, comes complete with either a concrete deck finish with hardwood fenders or a traditional pontoon finish with a galvanised steel frame clad in hardwood timber boards and fender. Waliflotes offer continuous buoyancy and therefore exhibit wave attenuating characteristics which can be used to good effect in areas where wave heights are marginal for safe marina
