Key structural elements include: Beams: Parallel flange channels (PFC) sized 200x90x29.7 mm (Refs B1, B2, B3).
Columns: Square hollow sections (SHS) 100x100x6.3 mm for up to 1.75 m height and 120x120x10 mm for up to 2.5 m height (Refs C1, C2, C3).
Connections: Fully welded 10-12 mm thick plates with continuous fillet welds and bolted using M16 Grade 8.8 bolts, hot-dip galvanised to BS 729.
Foundation: Columns fixed to existing concrete base via 350x350x12 mm base plates anchored with resin bolts (minimum 125 mm embedment), finished with non-shrink grout.
To ensure longevity and environmental safety, all steel components will be: Shot blasted to SA 2.5 or mechanically wire-brushed to remove contaminants.
Hot-dip galvanised prior to delivery.
Coated with a non-toxic, fish-safe epoxy finish suitable for prolonged underwater exposure, applied per manufacturer's instructions.
