Marina Kornati in Biograd is one of the first and certainly the most important nautical destination on the Croatian coast. The capacity of this marina is over 750 berths, with an excellent service center and restaurants. Annually, the marina hosts over 40 sailing regattas and events, a boat show in October, and about 300 charter boats from various charter agencies.
Previous concrete piers were demolished and replaced with the new highest-quality floating concrete pontoons. The width of the piers and their spacing were designed to accept larger vessels. The entire infrastructure was changed, as well as all access piers, the electrical and water supply installations and fire-fighting equipment. Old concrete service cabinets were replaced with new and modern stainless-steel cabinets.
Demolition work on old concrete piers began immediately after signing the contract, in mid-November 2015, and the installation of three completely new floating pontoon docks was completed by the Christmas of that year.
The explicit request of the client was that the “main activity of marina can’t stop”, so all works were performed in sequences, pier by pier, moving vessels from the old piers to new ones. This extremely demanding organizational task was done in cooperation with BSK commerce from Rijeka, Rc Neptun from Šibenik, and Marex elektrostroj from Zadar.
