OPTIONS, PRELIMINARY FINDINGS (rough estimates)
Option Approximate Weight Construction Method Approximate
Costs Pros Cons
Traditional Dock Float
Weight: 15 m.t; Deadweight: 20 m.t.
Wood, or combination wood and steel framing on top of plastic foam-filled float tanks. Wood decking on top of framing. Would require approx. 32 plastic floats sized at 96" L x 48" W x 32" deep. Priced at $670 each. Need to verify stability requirements carefully
$50,000
Simplest construction option - easy to build; easy to repair and maintain; many qualified builders available
Least robust construction; not great for towing; most vulnerable to damage; little reserve buoyancy; fairly sensitive in regards to weight distribution (creates layout constraints); freeboard - stability could be an issue, depending upon construction method and materials; spud system not possible but could do 4 point mooring system with anchors
Steel Pipe Float
Weight: 40 m.t.; Deadweight: 20 m.t; Total Displacement: 60 m.t.
Large diameter (approx. 48") steel pipes arranged longitudinally with steel beams arranged over top transversely. Wood decking on top of steel beams
$120,000 + More robust than traditional dock float option
Same as traditional dock float
Sectional Pontoons
Dimensions: 45' x 22.5'
A number of steel box shaped pontoons, each small enough to be truckable, joined together to form what is essentially a barge hull. These are standard production items that can be bought “off the shelf”. Would require hull depth of minimum 3’. 4’ or 5’ is more commonly available and would be fine for this application
New: $163,200 USD; with spuds: $213,600 Used: $80,000 + welding to join
The pontoon options will give the most buoyancy and stability. Most robust for towing and longevity. Least sensitive to weight distribution. Will be feasible to fit spuds. Readily available. Possible to fit ballast to correct trim and/or weight distribution issues (especially if using 4’ or 5’ deep pontoons)
Cost. Will likely need to involve a steel fabricator to assemble and outfit the pontoons. The work would probably need to take place at Shelter Island Marina or Arrow Marine (only affordable works yards with big enough travel lift for launching). Breadth is limited to 30’ to fit into travel lift
Existing or New Barge
Based on dimensions of 55 x 22 x 4'
Single hull, steel construction, rectangular box shape with raked ends. Hull depth between 3 - 5'. Built in China
New: $170,000 USD; Used: $51,000 USD
Best for re-sale. Best for towing. Best for fitting spuds or mooring winches. Stability not likely an issue
Cost. Used barge option would require some up-front maintenance of unknown extent. Possibility of ongoing water ingress issues.
