Lindley, provider of floating solutions and maritime signalling, has partnered with Portugal’s Vilamoura Marina to supply and install the floating infrastructures for the marina’s new extension.
The project included the installation of three new floating quays for 68 berths for vessels between 25 and 55 meters.
It also involved the design and manufacture of 104 pontoons built with PFC (Continuous Floating Pontoon) technology in prefabricated steel-reinforced concrete and polystyrene core.
The project was carried out under a contract executed by the main contractor ETERMAR.
Key features of the pontoons and quays include a minimum 650mm freeboard throughout the new marina which required more than 12,000m of electrical cables and pipes under the deck of the walkways.
The pontoons also required multipurpose pedestals, mooring bollards, emergency services and other accessories.
We are proud to have participated and met this challenge in record time.
Other key features included multipurpose service points for all moorings, including remote management and monitoring of water and electricity consumption and an individual system per pump-out station for sanitary water.
The pontoons have also be designed to incorporate floor lighting and bridges and gates integrated into the overall architecture of the marina.
“We are proud to have participated and met this challenge in record time, working in coordination with the other companies involved, delivering a solution that meets the technical and service demands of an excellent marina such as the new marina of Vilamoura,” said a spokesperson from Lindley.
The installation activities took place simultaneously with works on the outer jetty and the basin, with logistics adapted to minimise the impact in the high tourist season.
