TITLE UTILITY DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM FOR FLOATING PIERS ABSTRACT A system for distributing utility service such as electrical power, telephone service and water to a plurality of spaced apart finger floats extending angularly from a floating mainwalk. The floats are formed by rectangular concrete shells filled with a buoyant material and having a plurality of tie rods extending transversely through the floats with their ends projecting from the sides. The floats are typically fastened to each other by elongated wales ex- tending along the sides of the floats which bridge the joints between adjacent floats. In one embodiment the wales include inner and outer wale members separated from each other by a plurality of rectangularly shaped spacers. The spacers as well as the gap between the wale members are preferably cov- ered by an elongated cover. Utility conduits extend along the gap between the inner and outer wale members and are sup- ported by the spacers. Utility outlet fixtures are mounted on the wale members thereby allowing the utility conduits to be easily connected to the utility outlet since the utility conduits are positioned directly beneath the fixtures. In another embodiment the spacers form a continuous beam extend- ing along the side of each mainwalk float. The utility con- duits extend through the beam to a plurality of conventional utility outlets mounted directly on the beams.
