EC Pontoon Barge System

Mizztech® EC Pontoon Barge System

The Mizztech® EC mono hull pontoon barge system is a floated, steel frame, system custom designed and optimised for ease of shipping. Each float is made from polyethylene (PE) and is rotation moulded for seamless construction with ribbed reinforcing for superior durability and strength.

The Mizztech® EC pontoon barge system is fully scalable, designed with the capability to mount a number of pontoons based on required buoyant capacity, and allowing for expansion with the option of adding more floats in the future. The system also allows for flexibility, where each pontoon barge unit is designed to support one pump assembly, and can be tethered together in a multi-unit pontoon barge system to provide various pumping capacities and/or redundancies.

The custom pontoon barge design allows each float to be independently ballasted before delivery, based on equipment loading. The steel based frame is designed to support various Weir Minerals pump types with a wet well included for vertical style pumps. The Mizztech Minerals proprietary pontoon design also allows end suction pumps to be lifted to a safe, horizontal position for in situ servicing.

The Mizztech® EC mono hull pontoon barge system uses foam filled, roto-moulded, seamless floats made from UV resistant, corrosion free polyethylene in a zinc galvanised steel frame. In addition the EC system comes with marine safety equipment such as a life

floatation ring, a deployable ladder, and a marine safety pole available where necessary.
