BuoyTec
supplies many type of special purpose steel buoys.
Many of these are dish-shaped surface buoys designed specifically
to take advantage of BuoyTec's Elastic Mooring Technology.
These buoys are ideal for data collection and/or data telemetry
programs that require large buoy payloads of sensors, power
sources and data transmission gear.
The
welded steel buoys are constructed with sealed buoyancy
compartments to survive collisions and temporary submersion
better than buoys constructed of lighter materials. Corrosion
preventative measures include coating all surfaces with
marine grade epoxy and placing sacrificial anodes on the
underside of buoys.
Connected
to BuoyTec's Elastic Moorings, these buoys exhibit
remarkable survivability small watch circles and high stability,
resulting in more reliable telemetry collection/telemetry
and less data aliasing compared to conventionally-moored
plaforms.
