Development of Innovative Solutions for Continuous Floating Pontoons and Wave Attenuators

Lindley, within the scope of the EEA Grants program, is investing in the development of innovative and high-performance solutions for the maritime sector. This project aims to enhance the company’s competitiveness by developing continuous floating pontoons (CFP) and floating breakwaters (FB).

Project Features

• Greater Dimensional Versatility: Creation of structures with increased widths, lengths, and heights, enabling applications with more demanding requirements, such as wave attenuators and berthing and mooring for large vessels.
• Engineering Innovation: Development of optimized geometries and advanced concrete compositions, providing greater strength, durability, and the ability to operate in challenging maritime environments.
• Focus on Sustainability: Use of innovative construction processes that ensure higher production efficiency and lower environmental impact.
• Quality and Technical Validation: Implementation of a rigorous quality plan and performance of laboratory and prototype testing.

Advantages and Benefits

• Strength and Durability: Products with extended lifespan and superior performance in aggressive maritime environments.
• Market Adaptation: Solutions for landing docks, floating platforms, marinas, floating restaurants, and other public spaces (such as floating swimming pools), addressing the growing demand for large-scale floating structures.
• Global Competitiveness: Optimized products for international markets, positioning LINDLEY at the forefront of maritime engineering solutions.

Intended Applications

The new solutions are designed for a variety of uses, including:

• Wave attenuators for broader wave spectrum conditions.
• Berthing infrastructures for large vessels.
• Floating leisure platforms, such as swimming pools and restaurants.
• Redevelopment of urban waterfronts.
• Exhibition centers or floating public spaces.

Conclusion

With the support of the EEA Grants, Lindley is developing and expanding a portfolio of innovative products that meet market demands, increasing its ability to capture new segments. This investment in engineering and innovation strengthens the company’s position as a benchmark in the maritime sector, ensuring excellent solutions for clients and growing markets.

“Through the European Economic Area (EEA) Agreement, Iceland, Liechtenstein, and Norway are partners in the internal market with the European Union Member States. As a way to promote a continuous and balanced strengthening of economic and trade relations, the parties of the EEA Agreement established a multiannual Financial Mechanism, known as the EEA Grants.
The EEA Grants aim to reduce social and economic disparities in Europe and strengthen bilateral relations between these three countries and the beneficiary countries.

For the 2014–2021 period, a total contribution of €2.8 billion was agreed for 15 beneficiary countries. Portugal will benefit from a budget of €102.7 million.” Learn more at eeagrants.gov.pt
