Multiflo® CC Polyethylene Modular Pontoon Barge System

About this product

Multiflo® CC polyethylene modular pontoon barges are fully scalable and designed with the capability to mount 4 to 8 floats depending on the required buoyant capacity. These barges can operate in ambient temperatures between -45C to +40C. Overview Multiflo® CC modular pontoon barges are fully scalable and designed with the capability to mount multiple floats depending on the required buoyant capacity. They also allow for expansion with the option to add more floats in the future. Each barge unit is designed to support one pump assembly, but can be tethered together in a multi-unit pontoon barge system to provide various pumping capacities and/or redundancies. The custom pontoon barge design allows each float to be independently ballasted before delivery, based on equipment loading. Each float is made from UV-resistant, corrosion-free, low-density polyethylene (PE) and is roto-moulded for seamless construction. When combined with our range of Multiflo® dewatering pumps, these modular barges provide an efficient and reliable dewatering solution across a number of different industries. Particularly within open pit mining, surface extraction and tailings water reclaim applications. Compared to other barge systems, Multiflo® CC pontoon barges offer the following benefits: • Superior durability and strength • Fully scalable design allowing the option to add more pontoons in the future • Supports various pump types with a wet well included for vertical style pumps • Available with four, six, and eight float mounting options • Contains an interlocking system to reduce stress on the top deck frame • Contains an integrated ballast chamber in each float • Comes standard with a painted carbon steel platform, grating and handrails, and four, two ton, manual spur gear winches on the corners of the pontoon barge deck • Enhanced safety features including a safety flotation life ring • Marine naval engineering analysis to ensure great stability and buoyancy For more information about our range of Multiflo® modular pontoons and barges, please get in touch with our team. Frequently Asked Questions What optional features can be included with the Multiflo® CC modular barge? Our Multiflo® CC modular pontoon barges are available with the following optional features: • De-icing system for cold climate applications • Local push button station with E-stop • Photo cell LED lighting • Marine safety equipment Features and benefits Flexible and Fully Scalable System Multiflo® CC modular pontoon barge systems are fully scalable, designed with the capability to mount a number of pontoons based on the required buoyant capacity. They also provide great flexibility and allow for expansion, with the option of adding more pontoons in the future. Each barge unit is designed to support one pump assembly, and can be tethered together in a multi-unit barge system to provide various pumping capacities and/or redundancies. Superior Durability and Strength Our Multiflo® CC barge systems are renowned for their superior durability and strength containing a roto-moulded, seamless, construction with ribbed reinforcing. Easy Shipping and Delivery Optimised steel base frame design ships in three pieces making it easily stackable. Marine Naval Certification Key environmental factors such as wind, snow and seismic loading can affect the buoyancy and stability of the barges. However, our custom barge design allows each pontoon to be independently ballasted before delivery, based on equipment loading. Multiflo® pontoon barge systems are fully marine naval certified under all weather conditions and are marine architect certified. Optional Walkway System Our Multiflo® CC modular pontoons can be accessed via a floated polyethylene and steel-frame walkway system. The optional walkway is available in 20ft sections to accommodate any required distance. Walkways also come with a variety of options including lighting and cable trays to safely manage cables. Engineered to Order (ETO) Custom Solutions Having in-house engineering expertise means that we work directly with our customers to create barge systems that consolidate waste to recover more product more easily, while also extracting reusable water and sending it back into the process plant faster than standard solutions. With our extensive product portfolio we are equipped to provide the entire solution - from initial consultation and design, to manufacturing, commission, and training and supervision of site operators. Global Service Network All of our modular pontoon barges are backed by our global and unrivalled Weir Minerals service centre network meaning our team is always here to help, regardless of your location. Why Weir? Our global team of in-house dewatering specialists are positioned close to our customers to ensure rapid response where it counts. With over 40 years of dewatering expertise across the globe, our engineers are well equipped to provide tailored fluid management solutions to help customers take back control of their water. We are an original equipment manufacturer in the truest sense – we develop, design and manufacture the end-product in our ISO accredited facilities. Together with our innovative engineering and leading-edge materials technology, our team of passionate dewatering specialists ensure that you not only receive the best-in-class equipment, but expert configuration and support to optimise even the most challenging applications. Water can be unpredictable and so can site requirements - that’s why we regularly put our engineering skills to the test in the development of engineered-to-order solutions. Using simulation techniques such as Discrete Element Modelling (DEM), our team of specialists study the ins and outs of each operation to deliver integrated solutions for a wide range of sand and aggregates, mining, and industrial applications. Applications Multiflo® CC modular pontoon barges are frequently used within low-concentration (unthickened) slurry and dewatering applications, especially those involving the removal of wastewater and water containing light to heavy solids. These barge systems offer a great dewatering solution for a number of industries including mining, sand and aggregates, and general industry. They are frequently used in open pit mining, surface extraction and tailings water reclaim applications. Multiflo® CC pontoon barges also allow for specialised application options with: De-icing agitators for cold climates that use the geothermal effect of the water body to continuously pull warmer water from the lower depths to the surface Marine safety equipment such as a life flotation ring, a deployable ladder, and a marine safety pole available where necessary • Wastewater • Water with heavy solids • Water with light solids • Water with medium solids Product specifications Replacement parts Multiflo® CC polyethylene pontoon barge systems are renowned for their low maintenance requirements having been designed, manufactured and installed to operate in demanding conditions. However, if you do require replacement parts, please contact our team. We're always available to help. Product upgrades and modifications Multiflo® CC modular pontoon barges are available with the following optional upgrades/modifications: • Walkways with LED lighting • Walkways with de-icing features • Walkways with inbuilt cable trays • Additional marine safety equipment Services and maintenance All Multiflo® pontoon barges are backed by our unmatched Weir Minerals service centre network. This means that our team of dewatering specialists are here to support you, every step of the way, wherever you may be. We can provide tailored advice, service exchange options and routine servicing on site or at one of our dedicated service centres.
