Our experts have been interested and involved with buoy and mooring designs since the 60's. We can call our own, the largest helicopter deployed buoy in the world. We are now putting our time and attention towards the small inexpensive buoy designs that can be mass produced and from a life cycle point of view are not harmful to the environment. We are facing, head on, the challenges.
Small buoys are inherently less stable and can carry a lesser payload.
We are able to do much more now with small buoys because the payloads are getting lighter and smaller and for the most part less expensive. Small spar buoys are well suited for a wide variety of uses in inland water ways, lakes, and under some circumstances may be well suited to open ocean applications. Small buoys work particularly well with modern small, light weight sensors. Our environmental sensors are designed to work better than well with most of our small spar buoys. For the intended pay load each system is tuned to perform to its optimum level.
