ABSTRACT:
A buoyant module which is useful in the construction of modular docks, marinas and the like is fabricated by providing a buoyant member and applying a protective sheet over a portion of the member, and pumping a fiber-reinforced concrete layer over one face of the buoyant member. Structural rods extending through the layer are interconnected with peripheral whalers, which in turn permit the buoyant member--concrete layer combination to be joined together with similar modules in a unitary, low cost and facile construction.
