At the end of 2019 Resinex supplied Siap+Micros with one instrumental elastic beacon for environmental monitoring to be placed in the Gombo site in the north of Marina di Pisa (Tuscany), around 1 mile from the coast. The aim is the measurement of direction and speed of sea currents and the monitoring of wave motion.
The project is managed by Regione Toscana, the administrative authority of the Italian central region.
The instrumental beacon reaches the depth of 13 m and is equipped with all the devices for data collection and transmission. The structure has an ample space on the tower and it’s notably stable. This guarantees a monitoring accuracy that can not be reached with traditional buoys: the beacon actually replaced some instrumental buoys installed years before.
