Notes & Explanations

Required details for the generation of a supply

1. Details which absolutely are required:

  • desired dimensions
  • details on the usage type of the floating system (max. number of persons + style, number and weight of the superstructural parts)
  • Shall the floating platform year-roundly remain in the water?
  • details on the desired going coating
  • details of the water (lentic or lotic water, details on the water levels, dephts of the water, owner of the water, etc.)
  • other equipment (railing, boarding ladder, etc.)
  • Who shall plan the anchorage? (you or Perebo)
  • Who shall execute the final assembly? (you or Perebo)

2. Desirable details:

  • pictures of the locality
  • scaled layout plan from the locality
  • details from the bottom of the ground of the lake (subsoil expertise)
  • details on the shipping traffic

Defintions

freeboard:
vertical distance of the top edge of the floating platform up to the waterline

minimum freeboard:
is required to prevent a flooding of the floating platform

rest freeboard:
remaining distance of the top edge of the floating platform up to the waterline at full load

heavy weight body:
compact body (e.g. concrete body) at the bottom of the lake as an anchorage with chain or rope

PE:
PE= polyethylen = thermoplastic synthetic material with the following qualities:

  • weatherproof, robust, long-lasting, maintenance-free and robustly for most acids
  • high toughness and elongation at break
  • temperature resistance of –50 °C to +50 °C

load capacity:
maximum capacity (full load -> permanent load + live load)

Explanation report to frequently asked questions

anchorage:
A floating platform can be anchored in different ways. 3 anchorage types are possible:

  • anchorage at piles:
    the floating platform is anchorage at piles
    (vertical movement is possible)
  • anchorage at heavy weight bodys:
    anchorage at the heavy weight body at the bottom of the lake with chains or elastic ropes
    (vertical and horizontal movement is possible)
  • guying:
    anchorage with chains or elastic ropes to the shore
This is the vertical distance of the top edge of the platform up to the waterline.
