During the first months of 2021, Resinex contributed to the installation of an important wave motion’s detecion system along the italian coasts by providing 9 instrumental buoys PEM 18 and 190 spherical buoys RS2. The goal is to collect data to guarantee italian seas’ security.
Monitoring buoys have been custom-designed and thay are equipped with a multi-parameter sensor to monitor water’s temperature and salinity variations, a weather probe and a wavemeter. Moreover, the buoys are equipped with a camera, a self-powered sea light, a GPS antenna, 4 solar panels and an automatic identification system.
Instrumental buoys’ diameter is 1,8 metres and the net buoyancy is 1100kg. The structure is compact and it is made of plastic and stainless steel in order to guarantee a long service life and it requires minimun maintenance. It is also easily managed during handling phase.
Finally, each buoy also has 20 small spherical buoys RS2 tested at a depth of 100 metres, which are used in the mooring system.
