Working Harbours

Product catalog summary
Overview: The document discusses heavy-duty pontoons designed for commercial applications, particularly in working harbours. These pontoons range from upgraded standard pontoons with additional buoyancy to all-concrete floating structures that offer wave attenuation.
Heavy Duty Pontoons: These are designed to handle higher live loadings and greater berthing forces compared to standard marina equipment. They are suitable for commercial applications such as water taxis and harbour authority compounds.
Jumbo Pontoon Specification:
  • Structure: Made of mild steel, fully welded and galvanised to EN ISO 1461 standards.
  • Decking: Hardwood boards from 150 x 33 sections.
  • Floats: Extra deep Walcon fibre concrete protected expanded polystyrene floats in a catamaran layout (6 floats per unit).
  • Weight: 7.0 tonnes.
  • Freeboard: 750mm unladen.
  • Live Load: 2.5kN/m².
Tubaflote Specification:
  • Structure: Tubular steel floats in a catamaran layout, filled with expanded polystyrene for buoyancy, shot blasted and coated with coal tar epoxy paint.
  • Decking: Can be fitted with standard or heavy-duty System 21 decks.
  • Weight: 7.0 tonnes.
  • Freeboard: 500mm unladen.
  • Live Load: 1.0kN/m².
Fixings: Utilizes flexible connections with compressed rubber blocks, through bolts, castle nuts, and split pins to ensure security and allow vertical angular movements without noise.
Heavy Duty System 21 Specification:
  • Structure: Mild steel welded frame, galvanised to EN ISO 1461.
  • Decking: Hardwood boards from 150 x 32 sections, with optional removable aluminium ducts.
  • Floats: Walcon standard fibre concrete protected polystyrene floats (3 or 5 floats per unit).
  • Freeboard: 500 - 600mm unladen.
  • Live Load: 1.0kN/m² – 2.0kN/m².
Additional Information: The document notes that specifications are subject to change due to continuous product development.

WORKING HARBOURS HEAVY DUTY PONTOONS FOR COMMERCIAL APPLICATIONS Heavy duty units can range from upgraded standard pontoons which benefit from additional buoyancy, together with more substantial timber or concrete decking through to continuous buoyancy all concrete floating structures offering wave attenuation characteristics. Cardiff Harbour Authority Environment Compound Commercial pontoons will exhibit higher live loadings and will be designed to resist greater berthing forces than standard marina equipment.

Working Harbours-2

FIXINGS Flexible connections – The proven flexible couplings comprise compressed rubber blocks, through bolts, castle nuts and split pins. This ensures security and prevents vertical and lateral misalignment but allows vertical angular movements of the adjacent units. No noise is generated by the connection.
