Enhancing Dock Safety and Durability in False Creek, Canada
Pacific Netting Products is proud to have completed a custom marine solution for the False Creek Harbour Authority in False Creek, Canada. We designed and manufactured a 36” diameter by 190’ long floating HDPE breasting log to enhance both the safety and functionality of a busy commercial dock.
This project demonstrates our commitment to delivering high-performance solutions for ports and marinas, even in environments with challenging conditions like fluctuating tides and grounding potential.
Engineered for Strength, Stability, and Longevity
Our breasting log was designed to provide exceptional strength and stiffness, capable of dissipating berthing energies across its full length. Key engineering features included:
- Heavy-duty 18” galvanized steel walkway using perf-o-grip safety grating for secure foot traffic
- Ballasted with heavy gauge anchor chain to ensure stability in all tidal conditions
- Abrasion, UV, and impact resistance for extreme weather durability
- 100% watertight construction, ensuring a 50-year service life
Every element of this breasting log was built to withstand the harsh demands of marine environments, while offering long-term reliability with minimal maintenance.
Designed for Performance in Tidal and Grounding Conditions
One of the standout features of this installation is its adaptability to environmental variables. The breasting log was:
- Designed for grounding — accommodating low tide scenarios without damage
- Able to handle varying tide fluctuations without compromising performance or structural integrity
This flexibility makes it an ideal choice for coastal facilities where natural forces are always at play.
Fully Customizable to Fit Your Port or Marina Needs
No two marine sites are the same, and Pacific Netting Products understands the importance of customization. Our floating breasting logs are available in various diameters, lengths, and materials, with walkways, ballasting, and coatings tailored to your specific requirements.
If you’re looking for a long-term solution to protect your docks while improving berthing safety and efficiency, our breasting log systems are built to exceed expectations.
