Pontoons
Modular floating pontoons are a smart choice for many commercial uses because they are versatile, easy to customise, and cost-effective. Councils, businesses, and the aquaculture industry all over New Zealand and the Pacific Islands use them in different ways. Pontoons can be turned into floating platforms, walkways, docks and much more.
Their simple design means they can be changed or added to as needs grow, saving time and money. Whether you need a small platform or a large work area, modular pontoons can be built to suit your project.
Looking for ideas? Here are some clever practical ways to use pontoons for your commercial setup.
Boat shows or expos
Make boat shows and expos even better with modular floating docks. These pontoons can be used to build walkways, display areas, and viewing platforms. They give visitors a safe and stable surface to walk on, making it easy for them to explore boats, exhibits, and displays.
Floating docks also help create an interactive and enjoyable experience for everyone at the event. Whether it’s a small local expo or a large international boat show, modular pontoons can be quickly set up, adjusted, or expanded as needed. Their flexibility and easy setup save time and make planning large events much simpler.
Marina extensions
Modular floating docks help marinas hold more boats and make better use of space.
Whether adding to an exisiting marina or building a new docking area, these pontoons offer a practical solution. They create a safe and accessible spot for boat owners and water lovers to enjoy.
Environmental research
Modular floating docks give scientists and researchers a strong, stable base to work from on the water. This makes it much easier and safer to carry out important studies, tests, and experiments. Instead of working from small, unsteady boats, researchers can use pontoons to set up their equipment and move around safely.
These pontoons are useful for many different science projects. Researchers can collect water and soil samples, study fish and other sea life, or even set up small labs right on the water. Marine biologists often use pontoons as a safe space to observe plants and animals without disturbing their natural homes.
All Pontoon Plus pontoons are very strong and can handle different weather and water conditions. Their versatility means they can be used in lakes, rivers, and even coastal areas. Whether it’s a short-term project or a long-term study, modular pontoons provide a reliable, flexible platform that supports important environmental research.
Aquatic sports and training pontoons
Plastic pontoons create a safe and stable base for athletes and event organisers, improving both safety and performance in water activities.
They’re perfect for competitions, training sessions, and water sport events, offering a reliable and flexible platform that meets different needs. Whether it’s a big race, or a casual training day, pontoons help create the perfect space for success.
Many councils in New Zealand also use floating pontoons to create swimming platforms in lakes and oceans, giving people a safer and easier access to the water.
Aquaculture and fisheries
Floating docks give aquaculturists a strong, stable base to manage their daily work. These structures are essential for tasks like feeding, monitoring, and harvesting marine life. Pontoons create a safe and controlled space where fish, shellfish, and other sea life can grow and stay healthy. By providing a reliable platform, they help farmers work more efficiently and reduce the risk of damage from waves or changing tides.
Pontoons also support eco-friendly farming methods. They allow for better control over water quality, waste management, and the protection of natural habitats. This helps make aquaculture more sustainable and reduces the environmental impact. Whether it’s a small fish farm or a large commercial operation, pontoons can be customised to suit different needs and growing conditions.
Modular plastic pontoons are super flexible and can be used in lots of different ways for businesses, industries, or councils. They’re strong, easy to move, transport and change around. That’s why they are perfect for things like water-based projects and events.
