Marina Deck Fitted at RNLI Training Centre

 

With a name synonymous to reliability and safety, it was natural that the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) would think carefully about its choice of contractor when developing the new £25m Training Centre at Poole, Dorset.

 

In specifying the material for the pontoon system covering, it was imperative that the surface guaranteed the highest standards of safety and durability needed to cope with heavy use during extreme weather conditions.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Mini Mesh Decking For Ultimate Slip Resistance

RNLI selects Marina Deck anti slip pontoon decking for Poole Training Centre pontoons.

 

RNLI Select Marina Deck

 

Everyone involved at Dura Composites was delighted to watch as Her Majesty the Queen became one of the first patrons to walk along the new pontoon decking as she opened the new facility recently.

"We have used fibreglass grating on many occasions in the past and therefore did not hesitate in recommending the material for the newly constructed pontoon system at the RNLI Lifeboat College and Sea Survival Centre. Fibreglass grating provides one of the very best slip resistant surfaces we have ever encountered, which as the Health and Safety of our trainees is of prime importance during their training programme naturally makes this material highly desirable."

Life Cycle Costs

 

While the cost of material is important, it does not reflect the total cost of the project. Beyond material purchase price, the buyer should also consider the related cost of installation, maintenance over time, replacement of worn materials and the effects of future legislation in terms of safety requirements.

High Performance Composites

 

High performance composite materials have demonstrated a proven ability to withstand the harsh side effects of marine conditions better than almost all other materials. For many years, composites have been reliably used in traditionally corrosive industries such as chemical processing, plating and marine construction.

British Standard Test Results

 

The BS4592 test was devised to test and assess the slip resistance of industrial type flooring intended for use in water and wet areas. A co-efficient of friction (CoF) is calculated by determining the mean angle of inclination that an operator can safely maintain when the flooring is subjected to a continuous stream of water.

 

 

Decking Colours

 

Standard colours for Marina Deck are Green, Grey and Sand, other RAL colours available on request for volume orders.
