Marina - 180 places

Guest harbour for Marina Nordhavn

Nordhavn's guest harbor lacked capacity during the high season but had neither the time nor the budget for a traditional concrete facility. The solution was a modular MDOCK system that could be assembled in the water without a crane and expanded season by season.

Type of plant

Guest harbour / pontoon bridges

Area

640 m² floating deck

Mounting time

17 days

Load capacity

350 kg/m²

The challenge

Need for 180 additional berths before the start of the season.
No possibility of closing the harbour during construction.
Requirement for facilities that can be removed in case of ice winter and storm surge.

The solution

The pontoons were built from HDPE blocks 400 mm high for extra freeboard.
The sections were assembled on land and pulled into place in the water.
Mooring with pile guides and chains, so the facility follows the water level.

Materials

How the installation was built

1,480 pcs standard blocks 500 × 500 × 400 mm
96 pcs V-blocks for bridge lines
Fenders, cleats and rescue ladders
LED lighting integrated into walkways

Result

What the customer got out of it

What the customer gained

180 new berths ready for the start of the season.
The system can be expanded with new sections without a new project.
No maintenance beyond annual cleaning.

We went from decision to a finished bridge in less than a month. We would never have been able to do that with a permanent structure.
