Elastic
Moorings

Our system reduces the swing area, does not damage the seabed, requires very low maintenance and has a record of zero failures. Reliability and efficiency tested in applications such as wave attenuators, buoys, floating pontoons, aquaculture farms, and swing moorings. Unrivaled on stretching capacity, load capacity per cord and ultimate durability in storm loading cycles.

Screw Anchor
Installation Technology

Developed over 30 years, our diverless technology is second to none in terms of efficiency, robustness, location precision and environmental sustainability. Anchors of just 65 Kg can achieve holding capacity up to 25 Tonnes. The installation process leaves an absolute minimal seabed footprint, and during the anchors’ life does not cause any impact on the surrounding seabed, thus eliminating the damage caused by catenary action solutions such as chain moorings.
The operation is fast, easy, compact and very cost-effective. The patented adjustable optional helix plate allows on-site adjustment according to the geology of each anchoring spot. Location precision is achieved with GNSS/DGPS edge technology. The installation data logging software records water depth, anchor installation torque, anchor attributes, and substrate penetration.

Aquaculture
Floats

Breakthrough technology in terms of operational cost reductions, environmental sustainability and allowance of farming inclement offshore open waters.
The shock-absorbing connection system allows fast installation. It also prevents the contact between the backbone rope and the floats resulting in increased rope life and elimination of lashings. The heavy-duty attachment points permit farming in extreme weather conditions without floats detaching or lashing/locking-pins breaking.
Very versatile, the system can be used in conventional surface or sub-surface long line farming. For sub-surface applications, floats are designed with built-in quick connection receptacles for long life elastic cords. These elastic cords can be used to connect surface and sub-surface floats (Elastic Droppers) dampening the energy allowing farming in more extreme conditions and mitigating the “drop off” losses of product.

Projects

These are some of our latest projects.

Our systems are strongly recognized for reliability, effectiveness, and efficiency. We are proud to be close to 20,000 Screw Anchors installed, hundreds of our recently released Elastic Mooring units and over 2000 floats for Mussel farms installed without failure. We are experienced in various applications for Coastal and Offshore Mussel and Fish farms, Swing Moorings, Jetties, Pontoons, Wave Attenuators, Pipe Anchoring, Floating Buildings, and Marine Energy Generation.

Testimonials

“New Zealand King Salmon has approximately 12.000 tons/year production over 5 farms in the Marlborough sounds. The key thing with the screw anchors is once they are in you know they are not going to be moving or dragging like concrete blocks. Also enables you to load test the moorings making sure you have a constant loading across the farm, therefore not over stressing anything”
