The Walcon Marine “System 21” pontoon design has been in use in marinas and yacht harbours around the world for well over 40 years and continues to be a market-leader to this day.
This ever-popular pontoon design has been refined and improved over many years of manufacture, implementation and testing and uses a galvanised steel frame supported on fibre-reinforced concrete floats.
“System 21” is a modular pontoon system with floating walkways, platforms and finger pontoons available to fit the majority of marinas and harbours. It offers the following design features:
A hot-dip galvanised welded steel structure, to BS EN ISO 1461
Polystyrene floats encased in fibre-reinforced concrete
Finger pontoons adjustable in position at 500mm centres
Hardwood or GRP mesh decking and hardwood fenders
Full provision for all the service requirements of modern marinas
Reinforced versions providing higher freeboards, greater live load specification and bespoke solutions also available
Durable steel structure
The combination of welded frame units using BS EN 10025 grade steel and flexible connections gives a robust and durable design. Additional or alternative paint treatments can also be specified.
Easy access to services
“System 21” floating pontoons are designed and built to allow easy access to cables, connections and service supply infrastructure. Pontoon walkways can be fitted with continuous ducts along either or both sides to allow direct access without the need to remove the decking, or fully decked should the client prefer.
