Following our project on Lake Maggiore (see story below), Walcon Marine Italia, headed by Sara Lanzoni, has continued to book interesting projects. Another recent completion has been a new floating pier at Marina di Balestrate, near Palermo in Sicily. We supplied 10 pontoons manufactured in Italy, similar to Walcon’s System 2000 model with aluminium frames, timber decking and 2-metre wide concrete floats plus cleats.
Marina di Balestrate lies behind a large breakwater that for many years was empty of moorings. The marina is part of the Marinedi Group, the largest marina management group in Italy and a valued client of Walcon. Since Marinedi took on the management of the facility they have brought new life to the marina, adding piers according to demand.
