Floating breakwater SFBW500

The SF500 Series is a 5-meter wide super strong breakwater, often found as the outer pier protection for various port facilities. The SF500 series was initially developed for the USA’s East Coast where our installations are regularly exposed to the brutal hurricanes that plague the coast during the autumn season. That our SF500 series survives this depends on our unique coupling system that absorbs and distributes loads when the loads are increasing tremendously during severe storms. Simply put, one can say that when a SF500 breakwater is under duress, the rubber cylinders in the connectors are what handles the stress, and not the wires, so the concrete around the connectors is subjected mainly to compressive forces, and not tension. This makes our breakwater unique and our SF500 series is the foremost floating breakwater made today. We can now manufacture them at any angles whatsoever, and we can equip the pontoons with virtually any components because we basically use the same standardized technical solutions that are thoroughly tested.
