| ShoreMaster Rixö Floating Docks: Tested by the North Sea. |
|||
 |

Rixo
Floating Dock - Stuart, FL
|
|||
When you build your marina with ShoreMaster’s Rixö floating docks, you’re getting the innovative, patented designs created by Rixö-bryggan of Brastad, Sweden. The Rixö-bryggan system was created and designed to withstand the storms of the North Sea, so no matter what extreme conditions your site experiences, your ShoreMaster Rixö floating docks are tough enough to stand up to them. We’re
ready to design and install concrete floating docks and wave
attenuators in virtually any dimensions for your needs. Three
of our most popular models are: |
|||
Composition: |
|||
Our Rixö floating docks and wave attenuators are formed with a polystyrene core and an outer concrete shell. Pressure-treated wooden whalers are added as a standard feature on each pontoon. The top of the system is given a non-slip walking surface.
|
|||
| Connection System: | |||
| The connection system is the secret to the strength of ShoreMaster Rixö docks and breakwaters. Conventional concrete systems connect pontoons together by stringing whaler boards connected by threaded rod between the sections. The problem with the conventional connection system is that, as the pontoon moves in the waves, stress is being placed on the concrete in the areas above and below the threaded rod. Over time, the stress may lead to fractures or cracking of the concrete in the areas above and below the threaded rod. |  |
||
Unlike conventional systems, the ShoreMaster system is connected with cables that run inside the length of the pontoon and are hydraulically post-tensioned. As the system moves, the majority of the force is absorbed by the cable and does not negatively effect the concrete. While the cables absorb the energy of the movement between the sections, the system will maintain a high amount of rigidity and will provide a very stable walking surface.
