At Acimut Norte, we use only the finest materials: marine-quality 6005 A aluminium. Consequently, the structures of our docks are made of sections with a width of 150 mm and a weight per metre length of 3.33 kg. The ground surface has top-grooves and a non-slip moulding. It is set on 60x40 aluminium tubing specially designed with Halfen-type rails for fastening the various anchoring accessories, services, couplings, etc. without the need for welding or drilling. The ground is fastened to the support structure with rivets that have a special head and are also made of aluminium.
Safe, environment-friendly marinas
We construct marines that are equipped with the most advanced safety systems on the market. Our platforms are fitted with individual fingers for the safe mooring of any kind of leisure vessel: sailing boats, yachts and other motor and leisure boats. We use the AM 2000 section, which is specially designed for large-size vessels.

The components used in our installations are manufactured with environment-friendly materials that produce no kind of waste that could affect marine fauna or tamper with marine currents.
The non-pollutant materials we use include waterline supports made of polyethylene, a material that replaces PVC or polyester, which are recognised pollutants and commonly used in this kind of construction. Our hose reels are also made of aluminium.
In short, we design and manufacture all parts in compliance with the ISO 9001:2000 quality standard, certified by the company Lloyd’s Register Quality.
Safer mooring
Our marinas are built with a double-mooring system, a combination of concrete and steel chains which are coupled to the installation and provide vessels with a double anchor. What’s more, both the docks and the fingers are equipped with a dumper side protection system which protects the boats from knocks and scratches.
  
Wave breaker
Where required, we install a wave breaker. This comprises screens placed next to each other to make up the desired length and fastened to piles previously fixed in the ground.
The screens are made of a series of vertical parts or posts made of reinforced concrete, braced together by two metal beams placed horizontally at different heights. The screens are fastened securely to the piles by pairs of brackets set at the same distance as the two horizontal beams on the screen. The brackets are fitted with devices for fastening and locking the beams in place.
The vertical parts or posts that make up the screen are made of reinforced concrete and have an isosceles-triangular section with rounded edges, and the face that breaks the waves is gently angled. The posts are evenly distributed at a certain distance, breaking the strength of the waves and reducing their force.

The post includes vertical rods connected by clamps to form a structure; the casing contains two U-shaped rods with threaded ends.
The two halves of the brackets are fastened to the pile with bolts. The half nearest to the screen has a lower front support projection for the corresponding horizontal beam. It also has devices for locking the screen in a vertical position.
Fully equipped marinas
Fire extinguishers, mains supply points, electrical installations and drains, canoeing ramps and hose-reels are just a few of the infrastructures with which we usually equip our works.
However, we are in a position to satisfy our clients’ other demands for facilities and installations: magnetic access cards, closed-circuit security cameras for vessel surveillance (either from a control centre located in the marina or over the Internet)...

Our installations also have a very effective and completely ecological system for keeping seagulls away from the docks: a net of fishing line at a height of approximately three metres above the platforms.
We also offer an installation maintenance service to guarantee the perfect operation of each part and of the marina as a whole.
