DEVELOPMENT OF RECREATIONAL ALUMINIUM PONTOON

Abstract

Pontoon is a flotation device with buoyancy sufficient to float itself as well as a heavy load. A pontoon boat is a flattish boat that relies on pontoons to float. Pontoons may be used on boats, rafts, barges, docks, air boats, hovercrafts, float planes or seaplanes. Pontoons may support a platform, creating a raft. A raft supporting a house-like structure is a houseboat. A fixed platform can be used as a dock. Student in UniKL MIMET don’t have any right place for fishing, so the recreational of aluminium pontoon project is to provide a suitable space for UniKL’s students to fishing. Safety is the important part that need to care in a construction of a boat. So the aim of study is to provide a safety aluminium pontoon for students in UniKL MIMET. The process involve in this project are welding process, cutting process assemble part process, inspection and launching process. In this project, the result of this project can be classified by safety apply on the pontoon.
