2017 July August Marina World

All-weather slips
added at Bear Lake
Berths boost
tourism prospects
CAMBODIA: Chinese marina builder Livart Marine
completed the first phase of Princes Private Club Marina
on the Mekong River in Phnom Penh in June.
The company designed,
manufactured and installed
three superyacht berths with
appropriate fenders and
cleats and all associated
gangways. Rolec dockside
pedestals were selected. The
installation was completed
over a four week period in
accordance with the tides.
The project is seen as
a significant milestone for
tourism in Cambodia and
is believed to be the first of
several likely superyacht
berthing projects.
USA: Oklahoma-based marina
company Meeco Sullivan has
completed a second phase
redevelopment at Bear Lake State
Park Marina in Garden City, Utah.
The project encompassed 218
boat slips and 440ft (134m) of dock
walkways with 12in (30cm) galvanised
steel frames and composite decking.
The arrangement has end ties and
three gangway landings. Slips are all
single loaded and range in size from
20-48ft (6-15m).
Every dock incorporates Meeco
Sullivan’s telescoping spud piling
anchor system, utilising galvanised
piling pipe frame and 4in (10cm)
galvanised pipe pilings to provide a
secure all season anchorage that
easily adapts to fluctuating lake levels
and winter conditions. Bear Lake State
Park Marina now has approximately
380 slips with longer side ties for 48ft+
(15m+) boats.
Work went more smoothly than
anticipated in unexpectedly poor
weather conditions as the docks were
shipped in pre-assembled sections.
Second marina opens
at Harleyford
UK: A new 146-berth marina basin has opened within the
Harleyford Estate on the River Thames some 30mi (48km)
west of central London. The site is regarded as one of
the most beautiful private country estates in the south of
England.
Walcon Marine
supplied its System
2000 floating
pontoons, the
majority of which
are held in place by
piles. The company
worked closely with
estate manager
Mark Pearce to
design a marina that
takes account of the
river environment
and makes best use of
space. Ten articulated
finger pontoons and four
‘herringbone’ finger berths
were also incorporated. The
latter, at 18m (59ft) in length
were specified for barges
and narrowboats.
Planning for the marina
WORLD NEWS
began in 2002 but was
subject to a lengthy
permissions process and
basin excavation. Installation
and groundwork began in
August 2016. The new basin
joins an existing 267-berth
Five Gold Anchor marina
that has been in operation
since 1970.
