Material & Durability | Marina platforms, boat storage | Industry Standard: Treated wood (10-year lifespan, requires annual maintenance) ▲ Our Base: HDPE (15-year lifespan, UV-resistant per ASTM D4329) ▲▲ Our Advanced: Reinforced HDPE (20-year lifespan, 100% recyclable) | Low maintenance, UV resistance, long-term durability | Higher upfront cost than wood |
Buoyancy & Stability | Floating docks in harbors | Industry Standard: Foam-filled pontoons (buoyancy: 500 kg/m³) ▲ Our Base: HDPE hollow structure (600 kg/m³, 20% better buoyancy) ▲▲ Our Advanced: HDPE + foam core (700 kg/m³, 40% better stability) | Enhanced stability, safer for heavy loads | Advanced version requires more assembly |
Customization Options | Expandable waterfront areas | Industry Standard: Fixed pre-fabricated designs ▲ Our Base: Modular (customizable length/shape) ▲▲ Our Advanced: Modular + add-ons (lights, railings, storage) | Flexible configurations for unique needs | Advanced needs additional accessories |
Safety Features | High-traffic water access | Industry Standard: Basic slip-resistant surface (ASTM D2047) ▲ Our Base: Non-slip texture + UV protection (ASTM D2047/D4329) ▲▲ Our Advanced: Anti-slip coating (ASTM D5067) | Reduced accident risk in wet conditions | Advanced adds to cost |
Environmental Impact | Eco-conscious marinas | Industry Standard: Recyclable but resource-heavy (aluminum/wood) ▲ Our Base: 100% recyclable HDPE (ISO 14021) ▲▲ Our Advanced: 50% recycled HDPE + carbon-neutral production | Sustainable material use, reduced waste | Advanced may have limited suppliers |
Cost Efficiency | Budget-conscious installations | Industry Standard: Lower upfront cost (but higher long-term maintenance) ▲ Our Base: Moderate cost (▲ savings over 5 years) ▲▲ Our Advanced: Higher upfront (▲▲ savings over 10 years) | Long-term cost savings, minimal upkeep | Higher initial investment for Advanced |
