![]() Your dock is exposed to the harshest conditions mother nature has to offer. This frame was modeled after our proven Designer Series frame but beefed up with thicker, heavier supports to ensure ideal performance in rough conditions. During development, we asked ourselves “why match a pontoon float with a 25 year warranty with a wood frame that might last 15 years”? Our aluminum frame answers the need for a low maintenance, long lasting docking solution. The 100% unique feature of the Titan Series is our welded aluminum upper frame. Walking on a dock with separate individual pontoons is an entirely different experience which, while much less expensive to produce, created a much less stable experience we were not comfortable providing to our clients Aluminum Frame This not only makes the frame much more durable in rough conditions but also adds flotation where it is needed most-at the outer ends of each dock frame. After thorough design, testing & redesign at our onsite testing facility we landed on the ideal welded box style design which includes cross members between the main pontoons. ![]() ![]() The rugged nature of this style of floatation is not simply due to the materials used, but also in the design. Pontoon floats create a rigid structure underneath your dock frame creating great structural support for rough conditions like consistent wave action from boat traffic or mother nature. Our aluminum frames come complete with a 10 year warranty and our reinforced pontoons carry a warranty that is more than a lifetime – 100 years! Durable Pontoon Floats Like all On the Water Designs docks, our Titan Series Pontoon Floating Dock is fabricated by skilled welders and carpenters to ensure your dock lasts a lifetime. Our rugged reinforced pontoon system ensures the dock stays safely above the water and waves. Your choice of Wood or PVC Decking sits above a durable aluminum frame. The structure and systems have been designed to BV Rule Note 475, and will be built under survey by BV.Perfect for commercial applications, or a lifetime at the cottage! The Titan Series Floating Dock combines the best features of all our docking systems into a single, long lasting, high performance dock. The dry dock will be built and operated as a classed dry dock through Bureau Veritas (BV). JMS also designed the power system including generator arrangement, fuel tank arrangement, and electrical and piping systems one-lines. Systems design included the ballast system, seachest arrangement, equipment specification, pump and discharge piping systems. JMS developed the complete engineering and design package, including all detail structural design, tankage, and outfitting design. The ballast system is capable of submerging and reballasting from a 0.3 m freeboard to an 8.1 m depth over the deck in approximately 70 minutes each direction. The deballasting and submergence operations are controlled from a raised control platform installed on top of the starboard wing wall of the center module. Ballast tank vents extend below the safety deck to form an air cushion. A safety deck is located in the wing walls at 7.88 m above the baseline. Each modular section of the dry dock has an access through the wing walls on both the port and starboard side. The wing walls are 3.5 m wide by 9.2 m high and run continuous through the midbody of the dry dock and stop two frames short of the end of the 3 m deep pontoon to create an apron. ![]()
