The Outdoor Deck Company were contracted to install Cumaru timber decking on the platforms, gangways and balconies, along with timber benches and day beds supplied by Furnitubes Ltd. The sloping floors of the barges were levelled using the built-in slope corrector of Buzon’s DPH pedestal range. Because of the natural movement caused by water, expansion joints were fitted to allow different elements to move as necessary and without consequence to the integrity of the construction.
Safety was paramount and the team were tethered and wore buoyancy vests as they worked over open water. To add to the challenge, the barges were not yet righted meaning lasers and spirit levels could not be used, instead levels had to be perfected using large right-angled tools.
