Walcon Marine has successfully completed the design, fabrication, and delivery of a state-of-the-art floating concrete wave attenuator and marina extension at the Swan Yacht Club, enhancing facilities and creating 32 new berths for members and guests.
The new wave attenuator, measuring 4 metres wide and 200 metres in length, was fabricated at Walcon’s world-class manufacturing facility in Shenzhen, China. Built in 2-metre-wide modules, the sections were shipped to Fremantle in open-top containers before being joined together, launched, and floated into position. Once installed, the system formed a robust 1.8-metre-deep barrier with a 700mm freeboard, designed to effectively reduce wave impact while ensuring durability and stability.
A connection jetty was integrated using Walcon’s proven aluminium system with FRP micro mesh decking and styrene-filled plastic flotation units. This system is fully compliant with AS3962-2020 and other international marina standards, ensuring world-class safety and performance.
All infrastructure was pre-engineered and shipped to site with comprehensive installation manuals and instructional videos, enabling The Swan Yacht Club to undertake the installation themselves with confidence. Walcon provided technical support to assist with any queries during the process.
“This project demonstrates Walcon Marine’s ability to deliver high-quality, prefabricated marina systems efficiently and with client-driven flexibility,” said Damien Gaspar, SYC’s General Manager “The Swan Yacht Club now benefits from a modern, floating marina environment built to international standards.”
The completion of this project underscores Walcon Marine’s ongoing commitment to innovative marina solutions, providing clubs and waterfront facilities with reliable, sustainable, and cost-effective infrastructure.
