Residents of Port Augusta will have a safe and designated area for swimming

GCMarine is currently engaged in an exciting project aimed at benefiting the local community of Port Augusta. We have been entrusted by CPB Contractors PTY Limited and the Port Wakefield to Port Augusta (PW2PA) Alliance to design, manufacture and install a functional swimming pontoon, linked to Port Augusta’s Eastside Foreshore.

The swimming pontoon, meticulously designed and manufactured by GCMarine, is a community-driven initiative by CPB Contractors PTY Limited, aimed at giving back to the residents of Port Augusta. Although the construction phase is yet to commence, the pontoon has already been manufactured and is eagerly awaiting installation. The project encompasses a fixed jetty, divided into four parts, with a width of 2.6 meters and a total length of 35 meters. Additionally, a 20-meter-long gangway, measuring 1.7 meters in width, will provide easy access to the pontoon. The swimming pontoon comprises two pontoons, each measuring 11 meters by 2.5 meters wide.

Once installed, this swimming pontoon will offer numerous benefits to the local community. Residents will have a safe and designated area for swimming and recreational activities, enhancing the overall usability of the area. The pontoon's spacious layout allows for multiple users, fostering a sense of community engagement. The installation, scheduled for Q3 of 2023, marks an exciting milestone in this community-driven initiative.
