ABLE Kirklees: Pioneering pontoons in the water

The development and testing of pioneering concrete pontoons is progressing rapidly at the ABLE Kirklees site.

 The team have constructed moulds from ecoboard before casting pontoons in lightwieght concrete.

 The resultant blocks have been turned out and lifted into water tanks using a crane.

The results have been very successful and development wil continue to ensure the best design possible for the floating cafe.
