Spherical ADCP Buoys

Manufactured from high-performance DeepTec™ syntactic foam and fitted with 316L stainless steel and titanium hardware, spherical ADCP Buoys are designed to outperform and outlast conventional mooring flotation. Available with depth ratings from 200m to 6000m, they require minimal maintenance and are extremely durable under the most rigorous deepwater conditions.

Elliptical ADCP Buoys

These buoys are have the same rugged design as the spherical ADCP buoys, but have an elliptical shape for higher current applications. Available with depth ratings from 200m to 6000m.StableMoor™ ADCP

Buoys

For a more extreme current application, turn to the StableMoor™ line of buoys. These unique ADCP buoys are customized for your particular application. Accounting for depth, instrument types and current, this design will give you stable data in unstable waters.

Trawl-resistant Bottom Mounts

These TRBMs may be deployed by free-fall, or by a diver or ROV. They have a double axis gimbal inside a buoyant recovery pod, and are designed to permit retrieval of all mounted instruments. An optional Spectra line pack can be provided for recovery of the base for turnaround deployments. Our TRBMs are available in depths of over 500 meters. We also offer disposable concrete bases.

All hardware is type 316L stainless steel or titanium equipped with sacrificial zinc anodes that are factory installed. Protective coatings include GRP, urethane elastomer or rotationally moulded polyethylene for increased durability and minimal fouling. ADCPs and other instrumentation are securely mounted using titanium and a unique polyurethane clamp.

DeepWater versatile ADCP buoys can also incorporate additional instruments such as:

• Acoustic Modems
• Satellite Recovery Beacons
• Pingers and Flashers
• External Battery Housings
• Multiple Acoustic Releases

Mooring designs can include an additional ADCP for an upward/ downward looking configuration to maximise coverage of the water column.

DeepWater Buoyancy also produces many other products for use in marine measurement such as:

• Spherical and ellipsoid cable floats for back up buoyancy
• Inline 316L stainless steel frames
• Buoyancy collars for transponders or acoustic releases

Custom syntactic foam products can be designed and manufactured in many configurations – depth rated from just subsurface to depths exceeding 6000 meters.

DeepWater Buoyancy continues to work with Teledyne RDI and a global user base to refine and improve these time-tested products.
