Pontoons and footbridges are structures used to link land areas to water areas or to cross watercourses. They require robust and effective lighting solutions to ensure user safety, while withstanding the often demanding environmental constraints. LED beacons, solar studs and extra-low voltage (ELV) devices are ideal for these installations, offering optimum visibility and durability adapted to the specific conditions of these environments.
Adapting to environmental constraints
Pontoons and footbridges pose unique challenges due to their proximity to aquatic environments such as lakes, rivers and oceans. Corrosion is a major concern in these contexts. Our proven expertise enables us to select suitable products, such as polycarbonate hulls, or implement customised solutions. We use corrosion-resistant materials, such as A4 stainless steel screws and bolts, anodised and watertight connectors, to ensure the durability and reliability of installations in wet and salty conditions.
Structural adaptation and fixing
Depth of embedment is another common constraint for pontoons and walkways. Unlike sites that require deep anchoring to withstand the passage of vehicles, these structures generally require shallower, bespoke embedment tanks. This adaptation allows secure and stable installation without compromising the integrity of the structure. In addition, fixing to decking may require specific accessories, tailor-made to suit the particularities of each project, ensuring robust and durable installation of the LED beacons.
Optimised luminous flux
In order to protect aquatic fauna and avoid unnecessary light pollution, it is crucial to adapt the luminous flux of LED beacons and solar panels. We take care to direct the light only towards pedestrian areas, thus avoiding projecting light towards the water. This approach not only preserves the environment, but also ensures effective and safe signage for users of pontoons and footbridges.
Custom service and advice
Pontoons and footbridges installations provide a further opportunity for our team to demonstrate its commitment to service and advice. We fully understand these requirements and are able to provide tailor-made solutions, guaranteeing optimal installations that meet expectations in terms of safety, sustainability and environmental integration.
