Sanlúcar de Guadiana is a Spanish village in the province of Huelva, in the border between Spain and Portugal, next to river Guadiana. In the margin of the river there is a new floating infrastructure after the conclusion of the extension of the pontoon promoted by Junta de Andalucía.

Almarin has worked together with its partner Lindley, manufacturer of floating pontoons, for the supply and installation of an aluminium dock made up of nine modules from the Faro HD range, which have been extended to the existing concrete piers. The concrete piers have been adapted and special pile guides were fabricated to allow for the existing concrete pontoons to be moored with piles, since previously they were in mooring chains and sinkers.

This solution is characterized by having embedded pile guides that allow for the use of both sides of the pier, considerably increasing the mooring area. Additionally, the new infrastructure allows for the access of people with reduced mobility due to two articulated pontoons connected to an intermediate floating platform of 36 square meters, that reduces angle of both gangways. Electrical and water pedestals and other key accessories were also installed to keep the infrastructure safely ready for the use of recreational and touristic boats. As an effect, the town improved its access to the Guadiana river and improved the conditions of the crossing by boat to Portugal.
