Project introduction
In this project, we had to design three types of floating equipment formations using Baars-type modular pontoon elements. The main floating equipment was a pontoon platform designed to accommodate a 71-ton piling machine, which, after piling work was completed, could be dismantled into two independently operating floating equipments capable of accommodating hydraulic excavators.
