DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS FOR FLOATING DOCK PILES

MCMag Sep 16 2020 BLOG 4 Comments 4254 Views

Floating docks are typically anchored using 4-roller internal pile guides or single-roller external hoop pile guides – as shown on this sheet. Floatation units, typically ranging in size from 2’x4′ to 5’x5′, are attached to the stringer system with bolts through 2”x8” timber bolting plates. In order to set proper pile heights, embedment depth into supporting soil, and overall pile lengths, the designer must be familiar with local soil conditions, water levels, and tidal actions in the area where the floating dock system is being installed. Consideration of abnormal water levels associated with storm surge is also critical.

    Hmm is anyone else having problems with the pictures on this blog loading?

    I’m trying to figure out if its a problem on my end or if it’s the blog.
    Any feed-back would be greatly appreciated.

    I believe what you said was actually very reasonable.
    However, think about this, suppose you added a little content?
    I mean, I don’t wish to tell you how to run your website, but suppose
    you added something that grabbed a person’s attention? I mean DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS FOR FLOATING DOCK PILES – Marine Construction® Magazine is a little vanilla.

    You ought to glance at Yahoo’s front page and note how they create article titles to grab people
    to click. You might add a video or a related pic or two to get people excited about what you’ve got to say.
    In my opinion, it could make your blog a little livelier.

    Often docks use pilings to hold them in place. However, a permit may be required for the pilings. Instead of pilings, the end of the dock can be anchored in place with two anchors that cross underneath the dock. In this way the anchor lines are out of the way of boats pulling up to the dock. If there is some tidal movement, attaching the anchor with mostly chain instead of rope can minimize drifting.
