Specific Projects
METALU works with you on specific projects for professional applications. We adapt to your requirements and constraints to provide custom-designed solutions.
Pontoon platforms for floating homes
We design, manufacture and install the floating structure on which the home will be built.
Toilet and shower pontoons
Our floating toilets and showers are an alternative when space ashore is limited, providing convenient facilities close to users, particularly on large pontoons located away from quayside amenities.
These facilities are fully modular, accessibility compliant and tailored to each port’s needs. Configurations range from standalone toilets to individual or multiple toilet and shower units. All wastewater pumping and lifting systems are included.
Fuel pontoons
Our fuel pontoons comply with current environmental regulations and are designed to accommodate fuel dispensing and safety equipment, including anti-drip collection trays, pump supports with galvanized grating decking and technical galleries for service connections.
Leisure pontoons
We also offer leisure pontoons for a wide range of water-based activities, including:
- Rowing, canoeing and kayaking
- Equipment for leisure centres
