The modules are self coloured with carbon black pigment for maximum 'ultra violet light resistance'. They are not effected by osmosis, marine organisms or chemicals normally present in the marine environment. When floats are removed from the water sea growth can be high pressure cleanred off. In built mounting lugs allow direct connection of the modules to the frame work system. Floats can be filled with water or concrete to add ballast to increase stability. Ballast can also be used to raise and lower the float for different freeboard requirements. Floats can also be foam filled for extra security if required.

Flotation modules provide buoyancy for floating structures including pontoons, marinas, jetties, walkways, boat ramps, work platforms, houseboats, fish farms, treatment plants and industrial floating equipment. What material are Marine Dock Systems flotation modules made from? All flotation modules are rotationally moulded in one piece from tough, marine-grade polyethylene that is UV stabilised and resistant to impact, marine growth and corrosion. Are the flotation modules Australian made? Yes. Marine Dock Systems flotation modules are proudly manufactured in Australia using high quality polyethylene materials and proven rotational moulding technology. Can flotation modules be foam filled? Yes. Many flotation modules can be foam filled to provide additional security and buoyancy retention should the outer shell become damaged. Can flotation modules be filled with water or concrete? Yes. Selected flotation modules can be ballasted using water or concrete to increase stability and adjust freeboard levels for specific applications. What is the difference between the 650 litre and 800 litre floats? Both floats are designed for residential pontoons. The 800 litre float is deeper and provides greater buoyancy and higher freeboard than the 650 litre model. What is the 900 litre flotation module used for? The 900 litre flotation module is commonly used in marina finger pontoons, floating walkways and residential docks requiring higher freeboard and excellent stability. What is the 1200 litre flotation module used for? The 1200 litre flotation module is designed for larger residential pontoons, commercial marinas, work platforms and floating structures requiring increased buoyancy and load capacity. What is the 2000 litre flotation module used for? The 2000 litre flotation module is designed for heavy-duty industrial applications including pump pontoons, mixer platforms, treatment plants and specialised industrial floating systems. Can flotation modules be used in saltwater? Yes. Polyethylene flotation modules are ideal for saltwater environments because they do not rust, corrode or suffer from electrolytic deterioration. Are flotation modules resistant to marine growth? Yes. The polyethylene surface resists marine growth and any buildup can be easily removed using high pressure cleaning equipment. Can I build my own pontoon using flotation modules? Yes. Marine Dock Systems supplies flotation modules, engineering drawings and pontoon kits to help customers build their own floating structures. Do flotation modules include mounting points? Yes. Most modules include moulded-in mounting lugs which allow secure attachment to timber, aluminium or steel frameworks. What flotation module is best for residential pontoons? The 650 litre, 800 litre and 1200 litre flotation modules are the most popular options for residential pontoons depending on the required buoyancy and freeboard height. What flotation module is best for marina fingers? The 900 litre flotation module is specifically designed for marina finger pontoons and narrow floating walkways. Can flotation modules be used for houseboats? Yes. Marine Dock Systems manufactures dedicated houseboat flotation modules and matching nose cones specifically designed for floating homes and catamaran-style vessels. Can flotation modules be used for pontoon boats? Yes. The 333 litre flotation modules and matching nose cones can be combined to create catamaran hulls for pontoon boats and other moving craft. How long do polyethylene flotation modules last? Polyethylene flotation modules are designed for long service life and have been successfully used in marine environments for decades with minimal maintenance requirements. Do you provide technical drawings? Yes. Detailed engineering drawings and technical information are available for most flotation modules and pontoon designs. Why choose Marine Dock Systems flotation modules? Marine Dock Systems flotation modules offer proven performance, Australian manufacturing, high strength polyethylene construction, excellent UV resistance, multiple buoyancy options and over 40 years of marine industry experience.
