GRP decking for Great Haywood Marina

This latest project by Dura Composites marks over 10,000 sq m of the company’s Mini Mesh Grating successfully designed, supplied and installed in its long-standing collaboration with Lakeland Leisure Estates.

Great Haywood Marina is owned and managed by Lakeland Leisure and was in need of an upgrade in Autumn, 2022. Degrading to the timber decks had occurred and they were in need of a much longer-lasting replacement. Having previously worked together on many projects, the client knew that Dura Composites’ GRP Mini Mesh was the ideal solution offering non-corrosion, non-conductive and anti-slip properties that far surpassed the failing timber.

Particularly appealing for Great Haywood was the non-conductive element of Dura Composites’ GRP grating as each of their moorings comes with a 16 amp electricity supply. Boat owners can feel even safer knowing their jetty covering cannot pass electricity through it.

Improving safety has always been

Waiting pontoon improves safety at Marina Palamós

Marina Palamós, which has 902 moorings on the Costa Brava, Spain, now features a new waiting pontoon in the entrance channel to the main harbour. This new floating auxiliary structure serves as a temporary mooring point for boats measuring up to 10 m in length during periods when they are waiting for availability in the marina or at the fuel pump.

The management of the marina designed this solution to improve safety in the Summer months when there is heavy traffic entering or leaving the marina coinciding with boats waiting to refuel that previously had to circle in the main channel. The solution is designed to be dismantled and removed to storage in Winter.

Almarin supplied and installed the 60 m long aluminum floating pontoon, with a 6 m access walkway, all manufactured by Lindley.

at the forefront of everything that Lakeland Leisure do. By choosing Dura Composites’ grating, they installed a product that was firerated and low-maintenance to ensure the safety and longevity of the marina, so it can be enjoyed by all for generations to come.
