Aluminum Floating Dock for Haines City Park

 
Fender Marine Construction We have been working as a subcontractor for Welbro Constructors for a long time doing their marine construction. We designed and built this aluminum floating dock through Welbro for a Haines City park. It was ADA compliant and required State permitting as well as local. Here you can see the upper portion of the fixed dock, the gangway and the floating dock.

Our customer Welbro Constructors and thier customer Haines City are very happy with the project.

Boathouse Orlando with difficult soils but great results!

Fender Marine Construction Started a new boathouse in the Isle of Catalina Orlando on a canal that leads to Clear Lake. The soil was very hard and the piles could not be jetted into place. We used our auger to drill the pile holes to a 6' depth.

Here on the Isle of Catalina boathouse you can see the piles set into position and at the required depth. It took a long time to get the piling right, but "you have to build upon a good foundation"!
This is a photo of the Johnson boathouse almost finished. Here we are working on the installation of the aluminum boat cradle.

Just got this photo of the Johnson boathouse- Giant 30' long for the hugh 28' float boat. We upgraded the lift system to 6,000 lb capacity boat cradle, lift motor and gear assembly. Great marine construction project for really wonderful customers!
