Marine Division
Nuova Metalmeccanica’s Marine Division brings over fifty years of structural steelwork expertise to the nautical and marine environment — delivering engineered solutions for ports, marinas and the open water.
What We Work On
Engineering and Technology for Ports and Marinas
Through collaboration with specialist engineers in maritime design and engineering, Nuova Metalmeccanica has significantly expanded its capabilities, dedicating a substantial share of its resources to the nautical sector.
Our full range of products and services includes:
- design and engineering of ports and marinas,
- fabrication, installation and maintenance of complete mooring systems for leisure craft,
- fixed pontoons and docks,
- floating pontoons,
- accessories and fittings,
- specialist marine working platforms (pontoons and work platforms),
- equipment for water sports and tourist and hospitality facilities,
- and boarding aids for passengers with reduced mobility.
From Design to Installation
Design & Engineering
Designing a marina or leisure port requires specialist expertise across civil, mechanical and maritime engineering. We use 3D design software to produce detailed renderings of each structure before fabrication begins, allowing clients to assess the visual, architectural and environmental impact of the proposed solution.
Fabrication
Delivering a complete mooring system — with fixed and/or floating pontoons and all associated fittings (gangways, joints and steelwork) — demands a fully equipped workshop, adequate yard space, and the right handling and storage infrastructure.
Installation
The installation of mooring systems (fixed and floating pontoons and fittings) and their ongoing maintenance requires highly qualified personnel, available 365 days a year, 24 hours a day, anywhere in the country — combining hands-on experience with the technical and professional expertise the marine environment demands.
Bespoke Solutions
Our structures are built to each client's specific requirements. We work closely with marina operators, drawing on their hands-on experience managing their facilities, and taking full account of the local meteo-marine conditions — sea state, wind exposure, tidal range — to determine the right sizing, anchoring system, accessories and fittings.
Compliance
Our expertise in structural and technological steelwork, combined with our in-depth knowledge of the nautical and marine sector, puts us in a strong position to tackle any technical challenge — including novel and innovative ones — with a comprehensive and effective approach. All our activities are carried out in full compliance with applicable technical standards, occupational health and safety requirements, and marine environmental regulations.
