Last September, two large Resinex beacons were installed for the signalling of the Malamocco outer dam, built by Mantovani constructions (www.fip-group.it/mantovani/azienda.html) for the New Venice Consortium (www.salve.it) as part of the Mose project for the protection of the Lagoon.
Given the continuous back and forth flux of large cargo and passenger vessels, a system of signalling was the uppermost importance (both luminous and radioelectric) to guarantee navigational safety and to protect the delicate lagoon ecosystem from dangerous accidents. To satisfy this need, Resinex with its fne decades of experience combined with the quality of Pharos Marine products, with whom it has exclusivity in Italy, was chosen.
At the extreme East of the “moon” (the outer dam is also known by this name because of its shape) there is a 18 metre high light tower on whose summit Resinex has placed a 1.1 metre diameter by 1.5 metre high stainless steel octagonal lantern with a Pharos Marine LBEA 250 red light. On the light house side Resinex has positioned a solar powered system able to supply 560 watt power.
On the opposite side, at the extreme west of the dam, Resinex has produced its own light tower structure of 11.5 metres in height, built entirely in stainless steel and hosting another Pharos Marine light of minor power than the other.
Both installations are, fed by battteries powered by solar panels. Though the luminous and radioelectronic signalling have a guaranteed autonomy of 20 days even in the absence of a photovoltaic charge.
The power installed on the yellow signal is also of 560 Watt.
