INSURABLE: Qualify for standard insurance INSULATED: Floating foundation are completely insulated. RIGID: Built on land with rigidity to withstand lifting and launching stresses. MASS OR WEIGHT: Foundations are heavy with a low centre of gravity providing a safe, gentle ride.ĭURABLE: Floating foundations must last longer than the structure built on it. ONE PIECE CONSTRUCTION: Floating homes and commercial structures are built in one piece. MAINTENANCE-FREE: You never need to haul-out for painting or scraping below water line. UNSINKABLE: Not a vessel, unsinkable under any condition, no bilge pumps/alarms required.įIREPROOF: Non-combustible, no wood walers used to connect floats together The following features are requirements in each and every IMFS floatation platform: Marinas and walkways are joined using a patented proprietary connector which allows articulation between sections. In other cases a large float can be built in components and assembled as a single piece close to its ultimate location.
Large floating foundations (or pontoons, docks, floats) are built in one piece where launching and transportation is practical.
The techniques evolved over the last 30+ years by IMFS are based on a reinforced concrete shell with a core of expanded polystyrene.
