Sandspit Yacht Club Marina
A 131-berth marina development positioned within the Matakana River, directly adjacent to the Sandspit Yacht Club. The project was designed to support recreational boating growth while integrating seamlessly with existing club infrastructure and waterfront operations in a sensitive tidal estuary environment.
Design & Construction
The marina utilised a modular concrete pontoon system with HDPE-encased flotation and aluminium framing. Designed for tidal variation and river currents, the layout maximised berthing efficiency while maintaining navigational safety. Installation included piled mooring systems and precision alignment to existing shoreline assets.
Outcome
Delivered a highly functional and durable marina facility that significantly enhanced vessel capacity and user experience. The project strengthened the club’s operational capability and established a long-term, low-maintenance solution suited to the environmental conditions of the river system.
