  • 50,000 tons/year
We offer a complete suite of services, beginning with precise buoyancy calculations and 3D engineering drawings, all the way to in-house manufacturing. Whether it's a floating restaurant, a heavy-duty floating dock, or a landscaping platform, Zhongda will make your ideas float and keep them watertight. Get a free initial design from us today.

We are experts in industrial-grade steel pontoon.

Besides manufacturing pontoons for your project, we also provide water foundations where your project will be set up.


Benefits of Steel Pontoons Compared to Others:

Compared with concrete or normal pontoon systems, steel structure pontons certainly have a notably higher level of various aspects that are visible in actual usage:

High structural strength for heavy loads as well as dynamic conditions.

Modular design to allow transport to be easier and faster, and on-site installation.

Lower maintenance cost and better long-term value.

Buoyancy and stability are exactly fitted to your location and load needs.

Main Benefits of Zhongda Steel Pontoon Systems.

We used Q235B steel for our pontoons, largely in diameters of 300-800 mm, and we stuffed them with high-density polyurethane foam, thus ensuring a consistent buoyancy of ≥500 kg/m³.

Even if the structure receives some damage, the foam-filled building will still significantly help maintain overall buoyancy. However, it will be much safer to operate.

The system is built to withstand Beaufort scale 8 and above, so it is suitable for use in ports, near-shore areas, and almost any construction environment. By optimizing the structural layout and designing the ballast, the platform stability is increased,d and the operation risks are ‍‌lowered.


Customizations‌ Available:

We offer to thoroughly customize the pontoon diameters from 1 meter to 5 meters. According to the unique nature of your project, we are ready to install:

Mooring systems.

Fender systems.

Enhanced anti-corrosion coatings.

Special buoyancy and stability configurations.

Every solution is based on the real-life conditions of the operation.

Manufacturing, Engineering-Level Solution and Beyond:

The main point of difference between Zhongda and others is our full-fledged capability from R&D to installation.

Engineering and R&D teams are in-house to engineer the early-stage optimization.

Modern manufacturing facilities with an annual capacity of 60,000 tons.

Marine engineering knowledge and experience in custom projects.

Average Steel Structure Floating Pontoon delivery time cut by 20-30%.

Customer loyalty for a long period of over 70%.

In other words, you get a partner who is not only a product supplier but also one who can manage the operations at the site.


OEM & ODM Services:

From material selection and structural design to buoyancy and stability optimization, our engineering team is fully engaged throughout the process. We are determined to make a pontoon system that functions in real-life rather than only in theory.

Therefore, Modular Pontoon System sizing and construction can be very creatively adapted to different marine applications. In addition to that, if required, we can also perform customization while integrating mooring systems, special anti-corrosion coatings for extreme conditions, and enhanced buoyancy structures.

Our OEM & ODM services are thereby capable of helping you with your project from its initiation to the implementation ‌stages.


Real Project Experience:

Once the Australia port engineering project was in progress, Zhongda had been providing customized steel pontoon systems to be used as working platforms and equipment support. These stainless steel pontoons, made of a steel structure combined with polyurethane filling, not only provided very good stability but also met the safety and work efficiency requirements that were very strict.

Client feedback: "The system runs very stably, installation was efficient, and overall performance exceeded our expectations."

Lead Time & Lifecycle Cost Advantages:

Standard delivery: 20 days.

Enhanced anti-corrosion coating: 25 days.

Steel pontoon systems throughout the whole lifecycle generally incur about 70% less maintenance cost compared with concrete solutions, and at the same time, the service life of steel pontoons is more than 20 years, so they are the ideal choice for long-term operations.


Certifications & Qualifications:

We make sure that all our works comply with the highest requirements of international and industry standards:

ISO 9001 / ISO 14001 / ISO 45001.

DNV GL offshore floating certification.

ISO 17357 anti-aging certification.

EN 1090 / AWS / JIS welding and structural standards.

Grade-A steel structure professional contracting qualification.

Our certificates confirm both manufacturing quality and the real project experience.
