Applications
By using a range of auxillary equipment such as bollards, fenders, spuds etc. the flexibility of the Janson couple pontoons can be further enhanced. The following examples demonstrate the versatility of this system which allows it to be used for virtually any marine task.

Transportation
The pontoons are assembled into practically any configuration to provide temporary or permanent large capacity ferries. The ferries may be winched on fixed cables or self-propelled units with narrow draft and high manoeuvrability.

Marine Civil Engineering
Almost any civil engineering task undertaken on land can be made to work on water using the Janson couple pontoons. For grabbing and general lifting work, heavy duty cranes are mounted on simple rafts made up of spud-supported coupling pontoons.
In pile driving, the pontoons can be assembled creating a U-shape, within which the pile-driving hammer works. Suitable spuds are installed at the relevant flange points and provide complete stability to support revolving loads.
Similar configurations are adopted for dredging assemblies. These permit most types of dredging to be carried out using conventional excavating equipment.

Bridging
Another application of the coupling pontoons is to create floating supports for multiple span bridges. Instead of driving numerous piles for temporary intermediate supports for bridges, pontoons can be assembled and anchored, to provide a flexible , but also stable support for bridges.
