Pontoons

Pontoons are versatile, floatation platforms that accommodate individuals to securely access aquatic environments for recreational and work activities​.

The development of Maritime Structures often is challenging as they must be designed to be functional with the effects of storms, waves, winds, currents and berthing energy. JHK will work with the prospective Clients to prepare new concepts of suitable pontoon system available in the market, to benefit their purpose in terms of the requirements of AS 3962 and AS 4997. JHK have participated in projects covering aspects of Project management, inspection and certification, conceptual design, investigation and reporting, Contract Administration & Supervision, Concept Design, Engineering Design, documentation and inspection during construction of pontoon facilities, Condition surveys and supervision of remedial works of defective pontoons, Project management and client interaction with construction​​. In addition to Engineering Design Consultancy services, we also offer an extensive service in planning such as preparation of documentation for Permission to Lodge, Development Applications and Review of Environmental Factors, Contract Administration, Site Investigation and Design Reports and certification.
