Airfloat Ltd report several new contracts in the last few months with both increased UK and export demand for their modular pontoon system.

Examples of contracts secured by Airfloat include a new 150-metre walkway across the marshlands in Newport for the public to gain access to the beach, awarded by Countryside Council for Wales; a floating jetty supplied to East Anglian Sea School; floating platforms for Hove & Adur Sea Cadet Unit; a platform supplied to Salford City Council for a recent Triathlon event; an order from the Environment Agency in King’s Lynn and a project for BAA that required Airfloat to construct and repair a foul water barrier at Heathrow Airport.

On the export side, Airfloat have just obtained a sizeable contract from Chevron for a floating bridge to be used in Nigeria.

Patrick Connon, Managing Director, comments, “We have certainly come a long way in a short time since acquiring the Irish Eirfloat business in 2003, expanding from what was a mainly Irish customer base to a European and now increasingly a worldwide focus, with contracts secured across the military, commercial and leisure marine sectors.

“We still retain the manufacturing facility in Ireland which has undergone significant expansion and we believe that a factor in our success is that we can oversee every aspect of production, delivery and installation and, as a privately owned company, we take great pride in providing exceptional quality of service”.
