Marina Systems

Marine Structures designs, manufactures, and installs a complete range of marina pontoon systems for commercial marinas, superyacht facilities, and industrial applications across Australia and internationally. The Superior range includes heavy-duty concrete floating pontoons like the Mega Elite and Super Elite, the versatile Elite and Capri II, and our modular floating pontoon system, each engineered for a specific scale and environment.

Superior Mega Elite Pontoon System

The Superior Mega Elite is a heavy-duty floating pontoon system built for large-scale commercial marinas, superyacht berths, and industrial waterfront infrastructure. As the largest mass concrete marine pontoon on the Australian market, the system is designed to provide vessel berthing and custom wave attenuation for heavy-duty and rough weather applications.

The 5-sided 50 mPa marine-grade concrete structure, with an individual pontoon mass larger than other solutions on the market, provides more stability and more concrete to areas where it is structurally required. Reinforcing mesh in the wall and the concrete deck, which is more than 150% thicker than other leading products, provides an overall longer design life. The pontoon design includes plastic-welded HDPE for base protection, SL-Grade polystyrene voids, reinforcing bar perimeter beam where required, and is completed with custom rotomoulded polyethylene edge protection and service conduits to accommodate electrical, water, and fire services.

Designed with a high freeboard to suit large vessel requirements, with allowance for heavy deck traffic and vehicle access, the high-mass pontoons can handle high concentrated wave/vessel loads (pile guide connection, heavy-duty commercial D fender, cast alloy cleats, fabricated bollards) and transfer the loads through the mooring system. This makes the Mega Elite the preferred choice for floating pontoon systems for superyacht marinas that demand maximum stability.

The innovative Superior Compression Coupling is used to connect the pontoon units together. This consists of rotationally moulded connection boxes, stainless steel bolts, nuts and washers, and EPDM connection rubbers. A built-in locking mechanism prevents the nuts from opening and eliminates the need to tighten bolts, delivering unmatched long-term value.

The Superior Mega Elite stands out as the market-leading, low-maintenance floating pontoon solution for harsh conditions, built to withstand the test of time.

Superior Super Elite Pontoon System

The Superior Super Elite is a heavy-duty marina pontoon system that combines the structural integrity of reinforced concrete with the finish and versatility of Australian-sourced extruded aluminium waler (6005 T6). It is a trusted pontoon system for commercial marinas and industrial waterfronts where durability and presentation are equally important.

This is a 5-sided 50 mPa marine-grade concrete structure, with an individual pontoon mass larger than other solutions on the market. The walls are all concrete as is the concrete deck, which is 150% thicker than other leading products. The pontoon design includes plastic-welded HDPE for base protection, SL-Grade polystyrene voids, and a reinforcing bar perimeter beam where required.

The aluminium waler is incorporated on the perimeter of each pontoon, maintaining the same clean appearance as the Elite marina system. A simple yet extremely durable elastomeric hinge connection allows for natural movement from wave action within the marina system, and also provides easy connection to the Elite Pontoon System.

The Superior Super Elite is a versatile and cost-effective floating pontoon solution designed to endure the test of time.

Superior Elite Pontoon System

The Superior Elite Pontoon System is a versatile floating pontoon suitable for any single application through to large-scale commercial marina pontoon projects. The heavy-duty pontoon arrangement is constructed using reinforced concrete deck with an average thickness of 125mm and a solid monolithic flotation system protected by a tough and flexible polyethylene skin.

The concrete pontoons are connected by purpose-built elastomeric hinges allowing the units to expand and contract. It is smartly finished with a customised aluminium waler that incorporates a unique press-in bump rubber fender which eliminates the need for screws.

The waler also allows for adjustable positioning of pile brackets, hinges, and fingers. Utility services for power, water, data, and fire can easily be incorporated via purpose-built conduit ducts running inside the pontoon.

The Elite Marina System is a durable, element-resistant solution that can be used for commercial marina operations, fuel and service docks, floating marina dock installations, pontoon platforms, and rowing facilities.

Superior Capri II Pontoon System

The Superior Capri II Marina System is a medium-duty marina pontoon option ideal for commercial and club marinas. The flotation system is made of hard-wearing polyethylene floats which bolt to the aluminium superstructure and do not deteriorate in a marine environment. It also incorporates a custom extruded waler design that allows for a visually pleasing finish and versatility. As a lighter, lower-draft alternative to concrete floating pontoons, the Capri II is well suited to sheltered and moderate pontoon marina environments.

Open areas between flotation modules allow for debris removal. The waler allows for cleat placement, adjustable positioning of pile brackets, hinges, fingers, and fenders, and easy access to all marina service line requirements and dual service ducts along each side.

A variety of decking options are available including Superior Eco Tile, hardwood timber, wood plastic composite, polymer open mesh, grating, or composite concrete. All provide a very functional and attractive finish.

The Capri II Marina System is easily transportable to site and quickly assembled. It is container friendly and ideal for export.

Superior Modular Dock System

The Superior Modular Dock (SMD) System uses tough polyethylene rotomoulded modules that are available in a range of sizes. This is a versatile option applicable to situations where a smart appearance and flexibility is required, as the modules are easily demountable and moveable.

The varied sizes allow for multiple layout combinations and are tough and durable, non-slip, UV resistant and do not deteriorate in a marine environment.
