Moorings
AXYS Technologies Inc. (AXYS) has been designing, building, deploying, and recovering moorings since 1978 in lakes, rivers, coastal and offshore oceanic waters. All AXYS mooring designs are analyzed with numerical models that confirm a mooring's operational performance. Use of these mathematical techniques, sound engineering practices, and years of experience to select the right mooring materials, result in long-life reliable moorings. AXYS currently has offshore deep-sea moorings that have been deployed for over 12 years.
Optimum design of a mooring is dependant on several factors including functional requirements, water depth, currents, tides, waves, vessel traffic, and fish bite in the vicinity of the mooring. There are numerous mooring designs available but moorings can be broadly categorized into Surface and Subsurface or a combination of the two. Surface moorings are used to secure floating platforms such as meteorological/oceanographic buoys, whereas Subsurface moorings secure instrumentation in place in the water column and/or on the bottom, with instrumentation frequently recovered using an acoustic release. Moorings can also be built to include a combination of surface data collection and subsurface instrumentation integrated into the mooring line.
AXYS technologists and engineers have decades of collective practical experience in mooring design, deployment, and servicing for a very wide variety of instrumentation and buoys. Allow us to design the best mooring for your application. Please contact us for more information.
