installation and maintenance of beacons and flagging.
nstallation and maintenance of beacons and flagging involves placing and maintaining underwater or marine navigation markers used to identify hazards, channels, structures, and restricted areas.
Installation:
Positioning and securing navigation beacons, marker buoys, flags, and warning signs.
Ensuring correct location, visibility, and stability.
Installing mooring systems, anchors, chains, and underwater fixtures where required.
Supporting temporary marking of underwater works, pipelines, cables, wrecks, or hazards.
Maintenance:
Inspecting beacons, buoys, flags, anchors, chains, and attachment points.
Replacing damaged, missing, faded, or deteriorated components.
Checking mooring integrity and positioning after storms, vessel contact, or underwater works.
Cleaning and maintaining lights, reflectors, signs, and other visibility equipment.
Main benefits:
Improves navigation and maritime safety.
Clearly identifies underwater hazards and work areas.
Helps maintain required marking and signalling systems.
Reduces the risk of accidents and damage to marine infrastructure.
