Depending on the various needs of each installation, a trough or service channel is integrated into the floats in order to have water lines and electrical cables to run above the floatation, which allows for easy installation and service for mechanical and electric services.
Poralu Marine floats benefit from an exclusive and patented buoyancy compensation system. Our system of buoyancy compensation allows for additional loads to be added to the docks without the need to replace floatation. For example, if a new electrical distribution box is installed on the dock, the additional weight would require additional floatation to ensure the dock remains balanced and stable. With our patented system, this is a simple process with the installation of buoyancy compensators on the existing floatation.
In terms of installation of the floats themselves, they are housed inside the dock in an aluminium rail welded to the structure. The floatation is well distributed throughout the dock. Outside the dock, the floats are held in position with aluminium screws.
