ABSTRACT:
Modules composed of polymer foam blocks with impervious shells are individually provided with a continuous channel about the periphery of each module. Joined, a plurality of such modules form a load-supporting floating structure, the integrity of which is maintained by floatable bars which are fitted closely into the facing channels formed in adjacent modules to provide interconnections between the modules and a tension band which encircles the structure in outer aligned channels formed by the modules, channel bars of relatively rigid material being first fitted into such encircling aligned channels, which bars in turn receive the tension band. Optionally, a plurality of perimeter pieces may be provided at the circumference of the structure, each perimeter piece including a tongue fitting in adjacent aligned channels of the modules, an encircling channel being defined by the perimeter pieces which receives the tension band.
