Concrete Marina Docks at ShoreMaster - Rixo-Bryggan Model 850

Concrete floating dock in 63mph winds

The Rixö-bryggan Model 850 is designed as a heavy-duty breakwater standing six feet six inches in height. Because the energy of a wave travels in an elliptical motion, the depth of a floating breakwater is very important. If the bottom of the ellipse is greater than the depth of the breakwater, a portion of the wave's energy will travel under the breakwater. Accordingly, the deeper the breakwater, the greater the wave dampening effect of the structure. The "legs" on the Model 850 also trap water inside the frame of the breakwater and effectively adds to the wave dissipating mass of the structure.

The Rixö Model 850 can easily handle wind driven waves.The Rixö system is equally effective against waves created by boat traffic. The weight and stability of the concrete system allows peple to stand comfortably on the dock even as large boat wakes buffer the pontoons.
