Floating pontoon provides wheelchair access at Broxbourne Water Park
The Pontoon and Dock Company has just completed the installation of a boat launch ramp for the Broxbourne White Water Canoe Course that is near to completion in the Lee Valley Country Park.

The brief was to provide access to both able and disabled at all water levels. To achieve this Pontoon and Dock designed a submerged ramp that allows wheelchair users to safely enter the water.
From there they can either be manually lifted into their canoe, or use the Hereford Hoist that is attached to the side of the pontoon.
The rigid surface and stability of the Rotodock pontoon system provided by Dock Marine Systems ensures that participants on the course feel secure at all times.
The addition of an plastic edging strip (made from UK recycled plastic) ensures that there is no risk of anyone rolling off.
The White Water Canoe Course will be tested over the next few months to ensure that it is all ready to go for 2012.
