Materials
When we began dock construction more than two decades ago, other manufacturers were using steel and wood to build their boat docks.
Most of them are still stuck there today.
The problem with these materials? They suffer under the elements.
Steel rusts. Wood rots. There’s no way around it without costly, frequent maintenance.
Research and experience convinced us that aluminum was the best material for dock construction, and more than 20 years later, our boat docks are still proving us right. Aluminum is:
- Lightweight, yet ultra-strong
- Naturally resistant to corrosion in any climate
- Virtually maintenance-free
Flotation Systems aluminum piers and docks offer long life and safe, solid construction. Everything you want in a boat dock.
Join our thousands of satisfied customers who, like us, believe that aluminum is the only choice for top-quality dock construction.
Design
Quality dock design is the product of skill, experience, and the commitment to exceed every expectation. Each Flotation Systems design reflects these virtues down to the smallest structural detail.
Some manufacturers are satisfied with a dock that simply looks good. For us, visual impact is only the beginning.
Our designers and engineers pour decades of Flotation Systems’ expertise into the essential elements of each dock. From careful calculation of loads and stresses to ingenious solutions like
WAVEPro technology designed to enhance strength, function, stability, and durability – no element is overlooked.
This is the way we’ve been doing dock construction for more than 20 years. Attention to the details that matter, whether you see them or not
Manufacturing
Our dock construction methods are hardly secret, but exceptionally rare.
Each dock and pier is fabricated and pre-assembled by a team of professionals who have made aluminum dock construction their life’s work.
These dedicated craftsmen assemble every Flotation Systems aluminum pier and dock in our own Alabama facility under strict quality standards. Our designs. Our innovation. Every step of the way.
And from wavelength calculations, to material checks, to preparation and loading, our in-house quality control is second to none.
When you purchase your aluminum boat dock from us, you’ll know it will last a lifetime.
