CASE STUDY Floating pontoons are becoming widely used structures to support large-scale civil projects, entertainment activities, and even temporary access to permanent installations. Recently, a quarry operator needed a floating pump platform for dewatering, a necessary process resulting from excavations which occur below natural groundwater levels. Dewatering allows excava- tions to occur in workably dry and stable conditions. Through the removal of water, mining and extraction crews gain improvements in transportation, digging conditions, and blasting conditions. The reduction of moisture within stone or ore products also lessens the production of waste by-products. In this application, Pipex px ® fabricated and supplied a 20' by 30' fiber reinforced polymer quarry pump platfo
