Project Profile: Floating Pier with Aluminium Tread Plates, Wuxi City

Ubicación: Wuxi City, Jiangsu Province

Aplicación: Floating pier fitted with aluminium tread plates, Binhu District, Wuxi

Core Product: Assembled ultra-high molecular weight high-density polyethylene (HDPE) pontoons

Key Features & Material Advantages

Compared with traditional reinforced concrete and timber piers, this pontoon-based pier with aluminium tread plates delivers multiple technical improvements.

High load-bearing capacity for full operational use

The pier relies entirely on pontoons for buoyancy, with a load capacity of 350 kg per square metre for dependable support. The aluminium alloy framing and connection systems on the deck distribute weight efficiently, enabling long-term stable performance under heavy-duty operations.

Combination of light weight and high strength

Aluminium tread plates installed on top of the pontoons feature high tensile strength and excellent resistance to deformation. The lightweight properties of aluminium reduce the overall dead load of the pier, easing pressure on the pontoon structure. The whole system is also quick and easy to install and dismantle.

Slip-resistant & wear-resistant, suitable for all weather conditions

The plates are manufactured with raised five-rib or lenticular anti-slip patterns. They maximise pedestrian safety even on wet surfaces. Outstanding impact resistance also effectively extends the service life of the pier.
