A case study about river pontoon protection
EcoCoast

Case Study: Kennet River, Blakes Lock, United Kingdom.

At Kennet River, Blakes Lock in the United Kingdom, a floating pontoon faced significant risk due to high vessel traffic in the area. The challenge was to ensure the safety of both the pontoon and the passing vessels while maintaining functional connectivity to the shore. Ecocoast conducted a comprehensive design process, analyzing site conditions and traffic patterns to develop a solution tailored to the unique challenges of this river environment.

Our solution combined a weak link connection with the strategic placement of a downstream anchor point, providing controlled flexibility and preventing potential damage from collisions. This approach ensured the structural integrity of the pontoon while minimizing risk to vessels, demonstrating Ecocoast’s expertise in designing safe, reliable and sustainable marine infrastructure solutions for complex environments.
