Fixed aluminium pontoon
Sustainable Infrastructure for Land–Sea Interfaces
Our fixed pontoon structure is made from marine-grade 6005A T6 aluminium, well known for its mechanical performance, high corrosion resistance and long service life in saline environments. This material provides ports with durable structures that can withstand exposure to the elements while minimizing long-term maintenance requirements.
The Benefits of a Fixed Pontoon
- High corrosion resistance in saline environments: structures designed to withstand exposure to the elements and corrosion, while minimizing maintenance requirements over the long term.
- Permanently Secured and Highly Stable: fixed pontoons are securely anchored to concrete blocks, piles or other permanent structures, providing excellent long-term stability.
- Configurations tailored to each application: designed for fishing, leisure boating, pedestrian walkways or specific uses.
- Complete solutions for ports and marinas: a comprehensive approach integrating aluminium pontoons, fingers and access gangways.

Frequently Asked Questions About Fixed Pontoons
Do fixed aluminium pontoons come with a lifetime guarantee?
Fixed pontoons can have a service life of between 25 and 40 years, depending on their use.
What is the difference between a fixed pontoon and a floating pontoon?
Fixed pontoons are ideal for creating pedestrian walkways, waterside terraces and stable service access, independent of water level. They are ideal for areas with limited tidal variation or for extending an existing quay. Floating pontoons are preferred in service areas where tidal variation is significant.
Do fixed aluminium pontoons comply with accessibility requirements for disabled people?
Fixed pontoons are not dependent on water levels and are therefore accessible to disabled people.
What maintenance does a fixed aluminium pontoon require?
Maintenance requirements vary depending on the structure and maintenance schedule. Periodic visual inspections and replacement of consumable components may be required. You can find spare parts in our online catalogue.
Can you trace the timber used for the decking?
The timber used for our decking comes from sustainably managed forests, with traceability and controlled origin.
