UNIT RELEVANT DATA

  • Free Board: 58 cm average (sea water);
  • Draught: 42 cm average (sea water);
  • Overloading capacity: up to 330 kg / sq.m. (in accordance with the NBR 6120 Norm);
  • Modulation Flexibility: several modulation assembly possibilities with fast alterations ways;
  • Fastening between modules: 4 screws of 1 ½”, hexagonal nuts and lock nuts;
  • Free circulation area: 48 sq.m.;
  • Mooring: it allows the mooring of small, medium and large sizes* recreational boats;
  • Services: floor lights, hydraulic and electric plugs installation possibility without structural alteration;
  • Environmental: all utilized materials are environmental inert (environmental friendly) and/or recyclable, not causing any offense to the environment and, in some cases, it could be used as wave attenuators, avoiding artificial wharf protections (harbor quays / wharfs), thus minimizing the environmental impact;
  • Stability: due to its characteristics of area, gravity center and weight of almost 17 tons, it has good inertia, making the product highly stable and even being useful as winds wave attenuators at protected or semi protected/sheltered areas;
  • Manufacturing Standards: in accordance with the Brazilian Association of Technical Norms – ABNT and with the complement of AISC, ASTM, ANSI and DIN Norms;
  • Warranty: 5 years against corrosion of metallic structure and floatation loss over 10%;
