Ultra Fend Sheets

Protect Terminal Piles

From Costly Wear

To protect its wood pilings from costly wear and abrasion, the Fisher

Island ferry terminal recently in- stalled "Ultra Fend" fendering ma- terial from Ultra Poly, Inc., Tacoma,

Wash.

According to Paul Mazzacane, director of marine operations for

Fisher Island, which is located on the Intracoastal Waterway near downtown Miami, the constant wave action from passing vessels exacer- bated by wind conditions planed 5- foot-long, 3-inch-wide sections on the ferry terminal timbers. After ma- chining away the worn sections of the pilings, "Ultra Fend" sheets were lag bolted onto new wood face. The material resists the constant chaf- ing and abrasion of the 12-inch-wide rub rails on the ferries.

Mr.Mazzacane plans to extend the Ultra Poly fenders to his barge loading docks.

In addition to the use of large sheets of Ultra Poly on the terminal,

Fisher Island also bought and in- stalled half rounds of "Ultra Fend" for installation on the dolphins sea- ward of the terminal docks. Piles also are subject to the impact and abrasion of rocking and impacting hulls. "Ultra Fend" is manufactured
