Marine services pedestal

Marine services pedestal

We worked with the directors of Patron Power to design and develop the MPod 2 and MPod 300 marine pedestal to provide essential services to berthed watercraft, within a sophisticated unit specifically targeted at the high-end international marina market. The pedestal design has waterproof power outlets and fresh-water connections combined into a central hub. It also provides general ambient illumination to assist marina berthing after dark.

Project Details

Our designers subtly recessed functional sockets, switches and taps on the pedestal to reduce visual impact while being accessible. Illumination provides soft feature lighting and functional lighting. We detailed MPod in aluminium and stainless steel for marine durability and corrosion resistance. High-performance engineering plastics on exposed components ensure long term resistance to weather, extremes in temperature and UV light.

The new pedestals are designed to be strong and resistant to the elements – sun, wind, salt rain, and rough treatment in busy marina environments.

We created the pedestal’s strong architectural aesthetic to reflect a premium marina environment. The design is versatile and modular. It can be configured to suit the needs of all forms of marine craft, from cabin cruisers to luxury motor yachts.
