Fusion Marine has installed a pontoon at Loch Faskally near Pitlochry.

The previous wooden pontoon used by a lochside operator for fishing trips had been badly damaged following a drop in the water level due to Hydro operations. The owner was, therefore, looking for something more durable as a replacement.

Working to a tight timescale and under a contract to Reach Engineering, Fusion Marine installed the 12m x 3m custom-built plastic pontoon, which has successfully withstood recent water level fluctuations due to its flexible nature.

Meanwhile, as Fusion News went to press, work was due to start on the installation of plastic T-shaped pontoon for the community in Easdale. The 16m structure will be used to attract leisure craft and help boost local businesses.
