alternate solutions

Triangular
The Triangular design uses of triangular beams because they are the strongest geometric shape. The design was as eco-friendly as the traditional design by using recycled plastic composite planks. The design uses a top deck and a supporting sub deck. 

Bamboo
 

The Bamboo design uses the strong properties of bamboo and the concrete fortification of the traditional design. The planks would be very skinny or curved so the planks would have to be replaced or treated.

Traditional
 
The Traditional design is sturdy and reliable because it is what is used in most marinas today. The design is made of regular timber pilings and planks. The pilings are capped off with chicken wire and calcium carbonate cement.

Floating

The Floating Dock design is modular so the risk of the entire marina being is very slim and the floating docks that aren’t destroyed could be reused or repaired. The floating docks would be composed of a calcium carbonate cement and rubber barrels with a steel frame. The design is semi Eco-friendly using rubber barrels and calcium carbonate cement with a steel frame.
