FAST 3 hour dock rebuild

What happens here

To address the heavy weight of the composite decking, a new strategy is proposed: instead of creating large, heavy panels, the boards will be installed individually in smaller sections.

Goal: Redesign the dock to accommodate the heavy composite material for easier handling.
