The widest docks in Spain
An 8m (26ft) wide floating concrete dock (right), manufactured and installed by Ronautica Marinas, is now in use by the Port Authority of Málaga on the Guadalmedina River.
The dock, which is claimed to be the widest in Spain, now gives the port 160m (520ft) of berth space for fishing boats. The docks comprise modules measuring 20m (66ft) in length and 4m (13ft) wide, joined together in pairs and anchored to the riverbed by piles to depths of up to 20m (66ft).The structure is equipped with all necessary piping and cabling for water, electricity and fuel services, and is connected to the riverbank by a special 4m (13ft) wide aluminium gangway designed and manufactured to withstand live loads up to 500kg/m².
The modules were precast in Ronautica’s yard to ensure quality standards and transported by road to the site where they were assembled by a Ronautica team. Aquática Ingeniería was responsible for the design and structural calculations within the framework of a long-standing collaboration with Ronautica on joint R&D projects.
