HOME North Harbor Float Replacement, Seward, Alaska

The concrete floats were supplied directly to the City of Seward under a design-manufacture-supply contract in conformance with performance specifications issued by the city. The owner wanted a superior float system that would withstand the demands of berthing larger boats in the harsh environment of Alaska and require minimal maintenance. The Transpac "ORCA" float system incorporates a robust yet flexible connection between float units for long service life.
