New Floating Breakwater Pontoon installed at the RStGYC

This month saw the installation of a new four-section floating breakwater pontoon at the Royal St George Yacht Club, Dun Laoghaire - close to Carlisle Pier. The unsinkable pontoons have a styrofoam core encased in reinforced concrete and have been designed to endure storms, floods and hurricanes. Thirty tonnes of heavy steel chain and twenty-four five-tonne anchor blocks buried in the mud in the harbour seabed are used to anchor the pontoons. Click on photo for higher resolution image.
