Abstract:
A marine float structure comprising a float unit, a deck unit, and a framework of connecting members to which the float and deck units are secured. Both the float and deck units are formed by rotationally molding a suitable high strength, durable polymeric material such as cross linked, high density polyethylene. The float and deck units are single piece, hollow, buoyant, rectangular box shaped housings differing in their dimensions only in that the depth of the deck unit is substantially less than that of the float unit. The top wall of both the float and deck units is flanged with respect to the end and side walls. The two units are secured to the connecting members sandwiched between the flanges by means extending through apertures in the flanges. The float unit is preferably filled with a polyurethane or similar foam material. A plurality of marine float structures are interconnected to form a marine floating dock.
