A ten-slip stationary aluminum dock connects boaters with a waterfront restaurant. Standard dock sections and custom gussets bring the layout into alignment with the shoreline.
Standard FWM aluminum sections form the perimeter and fingers of the dock.

The project
A dock that follows the shoreline.
The waterfront is the starting point. Here, the dock provides a place for boaters to arrive for dinner while following the shape of the shore.
The perimeter uses 4′ × 12′ aluminum-frame sections with gray ThruFlow decking. The fingers use 4′ × 10′ aluminum sections to create the individual slips.
02
Custom gussets connect the geometry.
Custom gussets were created to let the dock run parallel to the shoreline. This is a practical example of standard modular components working with a site-specific fabricated detail.
03
Access and protection complete the system.
The project includes a transition ramp, adjustable vertical bumpers, corner bumpers and pole lights. These details connect the dock layout with its everyday use.

A useful starting point for your site
Standard sections. Room for a custom detail.
Not every commercial project needs an entirely custom dock. Share your shoreline, dimensions and intended use so we can discuss where standard systems fit and where fabrication may be needed.
