Raft Types 05
Small Pump Platform
Platforms for small pumps drawing from ponds, canals or reservoirs — carrying the pump weight and continuous vibration.
Highlights
- Mesh-walled pump house with good ventilation
- Compact size for easy transport and installation
- Double-welded steel pontoons that withstand vibration
Pontoon considerations
- Enter the pump weight — 20% is added automatically for pipes and fittings
- Pumps vibrate constantly, so pontoon welds must be strong and PT-tested
- The pump should sit centrally; if offset, engineers adjust pontoon positions to keep the raft level
Calculation values for this raft type
| Usable pontoon buoyancy | 55% |
|---|---|
| Raft deck weight (approx.) | 100 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.
