Mobile base for strategic ecological research
This modern floating unit is located within the Fetești locality and was specially designed to support scientific activities within a strategic ecological project. Its main role is to support sturgeon tagging, monitoring and research operations, providing teams of specialists with optimal working conditions, temporary accommodation and complete energy autonomy in the field.
Generous dimensions for extended functionality
With a carefully dimensioned configuration for research activities and field accommodation, this pontoon offers an ideal balance between stability, interior space and operational efficiency. Its dimensions allow for use in complex professional contexts, without compromising comfort or safety.
Maximum length: 14.20 m
Body length: 12.00 m
Maximum width: 6.40 m
Body width: 6.00 m
Construction height: 1.20 m
Maximum draft: 0.40 m
Maximum displacement: 25.00 t
Total height: 3.95 m
Solid naval structure and intelligent compartmentalization
The pontoon is made of naval steel (sheets and profiles), in a monocoque system with a longitudinal structure, ensuring durability and stability in operation.
The internal structure is divided into 5 sealed compartments, with easy access through lids and manholes.
A lightweight living structure made of 100 mm sandwich panels was installed on the deck, providing a comfortable and thermally insulated space.
Functional compartmentalization for efficiency in the field
The interior of the pontoon is designed to provide comfort, functionality and autonomy during research activities carried out on the water. The spaces are well delimited and adapted for the temporary work and living of teams of specialists on field missions.
Accommodation room (4.3 x 2.6 m), equipped with private bathroom
Meeting room and dining area (5.0 x 3.0 m), open-space, with fully equipped kitchen
Technical compartment (2.5 x 0.95 m) with water, energy and safety equipment
Access to the upper terrace with metal awning and mounted solar panels
Modern equipment for autonomy and comfort in the field
5 kWp photovoltaic system with 20 kWh lithium-ion batteries for green energy supply
Electric boiler and solar system for domestic hot water production
Air conditioning and heating with electroconvectors for thermal comfort in any season
Hydraulic platform with lifting capacity of 2000 kg, for equipment and materials
Lifting crane with a capacity of over 1000 kg, for technical operations in the field
Fire extinguishing system with internal hydrant for operational safety
Drainable tanks and UV purification system for wastewater, in accordance with environmental regulations
Electric stove, oven, hood and refrigerator for preparing food on board
Beds and functional furniture, adapted for temporary accommodation of research teams
Strategic destination for research and conservation
The pontoon serves as a mobile research and intervention base, being used by specialists for capturing and marking sturgeons, as well as for various ecological monitoring activities in the field. The project directly contributes to the protection of aquatic biodiversity and supports sustainable working methods in hard-to-reach areas.
