STRUCTURE
The float comprises expanded polystyrene core protected by 19mm of glass reinforced concrete.

FIXINGS
Four Stainless Steel (grade A4) fixing bolts are cast into the top surface for normal use, although through-bolt connections with timber bearers may be used where the units are expected to take the ground. The floats are produced in steel moulds giving a smooth surface.

DURABILITY
They are virtually maintenance free, require no anodes and are not attacked by electrolytic action, the effects of marine environment or the ultra-violet rays of sunlight. This form of construction ensures permanent flotation as the Polystyrene core material is closed cell, absorbing water up to a maximum of 5%by volume. The floats have a proven record of more than thirty years satisfactory service with minimal maintenance.
