After receiving six spring buoys delivered by Resinex in 2008 to Helix, the Houston Group, specialized in underwater operations for the oil industry, placed a further order, again from our company, for a deep water buoy of 1.6 metres in length by 3.6 metres in height.
The new floating modular joined those already being used in the anchoring system for the Helix ship which is positioned on the Phoenix site in the Gulf of Mexico.
The buoys, whose modules are filled with a special syntactic compound and are able to operate to depths of up to 300 metres, were tested in the Resinex Laboratory where trials of up to depths of 8.800 metres can also be carried out.
