The miles of rugged coastline of British Columbia, Washington State, Alaska allow for countless possibilities for commerce and industry as well as play and enjoyment. One of the biggest challenges of the area’s unique landscape is accessing the waterfront and utilizing marine infrastructure while protecting environmentally sensitive ecosystems. Floating Pontoons have been succesfully deployed on the B.C. Coast in Port Alberni, in Sitka, Alaska and most recently, the Tiwi Islands off the coast of Australia.

Versatile Marine Infrastructure
The pontoons represent versatile marine infrastructure that can be implemented in a broad range of applications including:
Piers – The pontoons:
- Can provide berthing for vessels of up to 400 feet in length
- Can accommodate pedestrians and vehicles
Breakwaters – The pontoons:
- Provide very substantial wave attenuation
- Are especially well suited for deep water breakwater locations
- Rise and fall with the tide (as opposed to rip rap breakwaters which are
unsightly and inhibit views at low tide) - Create flushing bays (as opposed to rip rap breakwaters which create
stagnant bays)
Floating Platforms – The pontoons can:
- carry significant loads such as heavy equipment and buildings
- be resurfaced to a high level of finish such as stamped concrete
- be ballasted to achieve the desired freeboard and draft
- be structurally enhanced, as required, to carry additional deck loads
- be secured by anchors and/or piles
