Resinex is well-known for the manufacturing of maxi buoys, real giants of the sea utilized for different offshore applications.
One of the latest relevant production was in January 2019, when Resinex supplied a new giant monitoring and communication buoy to TSK. The Spanish company signed the Engineering, Procurement and Construction contract for the Renaissance Project, consisting in the turnkey construction of a 190 MW power plant for the Jamaican power utility JPS.
The site is located in Old Harbour Bay, 50 km west of Kingston, Jamaica; it started in June 2010 and will be completed in summer 2019, managed by the subsidiary South Jamaica Power Company (SJPC).
The plant will operate both with natural gas and diesel, will use a seawater cooling system and will allow the retirement of the actual ageing plant in Old Harbour Bay. It will be the largest of its kind in Jamaica and will significantly improve the energy landscape of the island, reducing the CO2 emission and the import of oil in the country.
An offshore pipeline extending from the fuel supplier’s mooring station to the on-shore storing facility was laid down over the seabed, and this is where Resinex came in. The Resinex buoy was installed on the sea surface just over the PLET (Pipeline End Terminal), the substructure for the pipe-to-pipe connection point, that is connected to the buoy through a cable. A special cabin of control installed on the top of the buoy allows to open and close the connection valve. Thanks to a telemetry system it is possible to control the valve operations of the PLET from remote.
Resinex has fabricated a giant new monitoring and communication buoy for the Jamaica company JPS (Jamaica Public Service) at Old Harbor Bay in Kingston Jamaica.
The Resinex giant buoy has a net buoyancy of 49 tons, a diameter of 5 m, a height of 3,3 m and it is composed of 24 modules filled with polyurethane foam. It is part of the wide range of giant buoys manufactured by Resinex in the last years for various industries and applications such as Oil&Gas terminals and FPSO, mining terminals and energy power plants.
