![]() Recent experience has shown that floating pontoon breakwaters are effective in attenuating waves in marginal sites. The wakes of passing vessels and short period waves can still create unpleasant conditions in yacht harbours and marinas. To date there have been no failures of these breakwater pontoons even in hurricane weather conditions.Ĭonsiderable wave research has been carried out over the last 20 years on the use of floating structures as wave breaks and breakwaters in sheltered locations such as estuaries and lagoons. The floating breakwaters are usually moored with chains, sinkers and anchors. Rubble mound breakwaters are generally used in shallow water, whereas vertical breakwaters become more convenient in deeper water. Reducing the transmitted waves into ports and harbors is an essential process in order to dock the ships arriving at them. We will be showcasing our versatile floating concrete breakwaters to the international market at Metstrade, 15-17 November 2022. SF Marina has been producing floating concrete breakwaters since 1984 and is specialist in the manufacture of pontoon breakwaters. Walcon Marine Ltd is proud to represent in the UK, SF Marina from Gothenburg, Sweden, who specialise in the production of top quality, all concrete styrofoam commercial floating breakwater pontoon structures. In some locations in the breakwaters, the exterior armor stones will be replaced with precast ecological concrete armor units (see sheet on ecological. ![]() Concrete floating pontoons and floating breakwater pontoons provide wave protection for inshore marinas and yacht harbours. Often, the armour layer consists of a double layer of rock material, a double layer of concrete elements (often cubes) or a single layer of interlocking. Over the last ten Jrears a significant, number of,relative,ly: new breakwaters armoured rith concrete units bave been severely damaged.
