The two early warning anti tsunami system consigned to the state oceanographic administration of the Peoples Republic of China that are to be positioned in the South China Sea will be utilizing Resinex buoys.
This is the marine component of the system and is made up of two Poseidon class Envirtech tsunamimetres positioned at a depth of about 4.000 metres and supported by two oceanic Resinex buoys built to resist force 12 seas and of two mooring lines formed by Resinex Synt floats studied for 4 thousand metre depths. The system will have to remaining the sea for two consecutive years without maintenance in a zone continually bombarded by tropical typhoons.
The buoys, extremely stable, will have to withstand 120 plus kilometre winds and 12 metre plus waves, conditions which are, by now, very frequent in the South China Sea.
The system is composed of two monitoring stations dislocated at a depth potentially covering between 500 and 7.000 metres which transmits pressure parameters taken from the seabed and relays them to the surface buoy which in turn transmits the information via satellite to a control centre situated in Beijing therefore giving the alarm for a tsunami generated off the southern Chinese coast.
