The Port of London Authority (PLA) – www.portoflondon.co.uk has chosen Resinex for the construction of a platform, designed to hold a tide gauge for the Thames estuary.
The platform (5,5 mt focal plane – 4,8 sq.mt) has been installed at a depth of 24 meters at Shivering Sands in March 2002. It measures the principal marine metereological conditions and above all tide conditions at the river mouth.
It has been studied to have a maximum inclination of 10 degrees under the worst weather conditions. Also in this case Resinex elastic beacons didn’t need more than a few hours for installation. The platform will have a very important role in navigation safety along the Thames.
