Ardhowen Jetty
A special project to supply new pontoons outside the prestigious Ardhowen Theatre for Waterways Ireland.
Torbay Council
We were successful in winning the contract to supply Torbay Harbour with their long awaited visitors pontoons. The design of the system was complicated by having to attach a new bridge to an existing platform and supply universal wall columns to a raked wall.
Waterways Ireland
All in all this particular project was a success from start to finish and it seems the client is also happy with our system. "The jetty is a resounding success with favourable comments from boat users and the general public, we are extremely happy with the system from Solent Marine and would not hesitate in utilising their manufacture and services in the future." Ivan Jackson, Operations Engineer, Waterways Ireland
Scottish Exhibition Centre
We were appointed by the SECC to design and build berthing pontoons for the Clyde Waterbus Service and pleasure craft.
We were given 7 weeks to design and build the 25 metre access bridge, reinforced concrete quay wall, cantilevered platform. 2 in no 4m x 9m pontoons and 3m pontoons. Did we manage the task? Of course we did!
Angus Council
Solent Marine were the most cost effective option for Angus Council to supply the moorings for Arbroath Harbour. Visiting our facilities here on the south coast confirmed to them they had made the right decision.
Shetland Island Council
Solent Marine supplied 3 metre pontoon units on the island of Yell for this northerly project. The Small Craft Facility was designed to withstand the Shetland Islands extreme weather conditions. Our Senior Designer Steve Gibbons said "It's the sort of project that we get very excited about as we have a lot to contribute by way of experience in creating these extra robust structures".
Bristol City Council
This complete "Design & Build" project drew upon our extensive knowledge of the needs of the disabled. A 2m wide access bridge enables two wheel chairs to pass each other while the 30m long bridge was designed with 3 rest stops spaced evenly every 10m.
Today the replica square-rigger "The Matthew" regularly berths there.
Southampton City Council
This project was all about replacing pontoons that had been incorrectly specified for the conditions. The Solent Marine team were approached because they had already installed a number of units successfully on the same stretch of river. The "Before" picture (click on "Zoom" to the left) shows what can happen when a pontoon system is not designed for such as exposed set of conditions.
Solent Marine also manufactured Southampton Oceanography Centre's pontoon units.
Environment Agency
We have advised and supplied the Environment Agency for a number of years - this example is from the River Nean, in Guyhirn. An Access Bridge and Landing Stage were supplied and configured to connect to the existing pontoon.
Mouray Council
At the beautiful Portknockie Harbour a new Solent Marine pontoon system is shown installed and secured to wall guides. This elegant solution perfectly combines function with a style which complements the surroundings.
Fenland District Council
FDL has been a customer of ours for many years and has purchased several systems.
British Waterways
Solent Marine was the successful supplier to British Waterways for the 60-mile Millennium Link refurbishment - supplying in excess of 70 pontoon units. This success was due to in part to our ability to manufacture and supply a rolling program over a matter of weeks rather than months.
British Waterways also selected Solent Marine to provide units for the Crinan Canal
