    Introduction
2.1 Background and Scope
Crichton Edge Consulting Engineers has been commissioned by The Jetty Specialist to prepare a structural
design report. This report outlines the design basis and structural design of the proposed pontoon systems
and associated piles in accordance with all relevant standards.


The proposal consists of three separate pontoon systems comprising of up to four sub-segment pontoons, 4
starter jetties, and 4 gangways. Pontoons 1 and 2 both comprise of two 9 x 2 metre pontoons supported by 2
piles. Pontoon 3 consists of 4 pontoon segments and 4 supporting steel piles. The proposed pontoons will be
constructed using fibre reinforced polymer (FRP) concrete decks with an extruded aluminium marine grade
frame. Additionally, all structural framing members for the gangway and starter jetty are constructed with
6351 alloy T5 temper aluminium. Drawings prepared by The Jetty Specialist detailing the proposed pontoon
system are included in Appendix A.
