Raft Types 06
Large Pump Platform
Platforms for large pumps and pump houses in irrigation, water supply or drainage — heavy machinery calls for project-specific buoyancy design.
Highlights
- Enclosed pump house protecting machinery from sun and rain
- Supports discharge pipes and fittings
- Large Ø950 mm pontoons available to reduce the number of rows
Pontoon considerations
- Enter the pump weight — 20% is added for pipes and fittings
- Pipe loads and start-up torque must be checked by our engineers for each project
- Heavy-machinery rafts usually need larger pontoons — compare all three sizes in the calculator
Calculation values for this raft type
| Usable pontoon buoyancy | 60% |
|---|---|
| Raft deck weight (approx.) | 120 kg/m² |
| Weight per person (incl. belongings) | 75 kg |
| Pump | Pump weight + 20% for pipes and fittings |
These values are for preliminary estimates. Our engineers verify and design for actual site conditions.
