Panorama view of pair of boats' floating parkings, Launched in Sep. 2012, Rostami Port, Persian Gulf Click on the photo to enlarge The main deck of each parking jetty is made of 48 square meters of concrete pontoon equipped with stainless steel bollards, wooden fenders and 7 finger jetties. These parkings are also featuring Iran's first BTGs (Blended Truss-arm in Gangways) functioning as both access bridge and mooring systems. |
Parsian Launches the 1st BTG for Concrete Pontoons
Parsian Launches Iran's 1st. BTG for concrete pontoon docks Fully designed, modeled, and built in Parsian industrial complex, Iran's 1st Blended Truss-arm in Gangway, BTG, (Patent Pending) was launched in Rostami fishing harbour, Bushehr province, Persian Gulf. The conceptual model developed to eliminate the need for piling and/or truss-arms which are essential to control lateral displacement of floating docks. While the calculations show that the steel BTG is heavier and hence costlier, than either standard gangway or pair of truss-arms, it will be stronger and more cost-effective than a set of standard gangway + pair of truss-arms. The design provides the dock with an integrated steel structure (stainless steel or hot-galvanized) which functions as both access bridge and mooring system. |
Is concrete pontoon durable? Sure, See for Yourself!
30 years Old Houseboat on a concrete pontoon comes with a residential tenancy lease of 40 years in Mosman's Pearl Bay, Australia. That's true! This dream houseboat with 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms was originally built in 1923, and the 65 tonne concrete pontoon was rebuilt in 1983. It is now for sale with a 40 years lease financing scheme. This dream property, already appeared in many beautiful post cards and paintings, just need some renovation in residential part with no cost whatsoever for floating concrete base it is based on.

Huge Floating Concrete Dock Washed up on US Beach
A 125 m2 concrete pontoon washed ashore on Agate beach, Oregon, 100 miles (160 km) southwest of Portland. This floating concrete dock is believed to be the largest and heavies debris ever found in the farthest distance ever recorded. Misawa Fishing Port, The home of washed ashore pontoon, minutes after tsunami, March 11/2011 The floating concrete dock, made on 2008 and detached from its service site, the port of Misawa, in Aomori Prefecture in the northern part of Japan, on March 11/2011, is obviously in a working and stable condition. A team of experts are now examining the gigantic floating structure to come-up with a solution for the run away dock. The current potential solution will be either salvage of the structure and installing it in a nearby deck or demolition and recycling the product. The reinforced concrete pontoon weighing some 165 ton has a area of 125 m2 (21.6m x 5.8m) and a height of 2.13m. The pontoon made of reiforced concrete with styrofoam blocks inside it has crossed Pacific ocean, from Japan to land on US soil, 8850 km away. |
Stainless Steel Gangway and Truss Arms Approved to Ship
VIP delegate from Iran Fishery Organization (project owner) and Sakoo Consulting Engineers (project supervising body) for Rostami fishery port project visited Parsian steel workshop and reviewed quality control reports for stainless steel elements. They also performed thorough visual examinations and run various non-destructive tests to asses the conformity of products with project requirements and complying with national and int'l regulations for pedestrian walkways. Upon successful verification of chemical analysis and welding test reports and completion of tests and examinations, Parsian was granted dispatch clearance to ship the completed elements to Rostami fishery port in Bushehr Province, Persian Gulf, where they are assembled to form one loading deck and Iran's first floating parking decks for medium-sized fishing vessels. These three decks, with total berth line of 260m, consist of 17 concrete pontoons with total area of 240 sqm. Floating concrete elements fabricated for this fishery port weigh approx. 230 ton. Soon we post more new reports and information regarding our innovative high-tech Blended-Truss Arm-in-Gangway, BTG, (not illustrated in below photos) to be introduced for the 1st time in the world in Rostami port; A brilliant technology that will have a paramount impact on the concept of safety and performance of medium-sized floating decks. Below are photos from this visit on May 22nd. Click to see enlarged photo. |
