Cut costs without compromising data quality with an EIVA ToughBoy Panchax data buoy
Need to monitor offshore conditions such as oceanographic, meteorological or environmental parameters?
The ToughBoy Panchax data collection buoy is the optimum choice for real-time marine monitoring, for example (but not limited to) any type of wave, current and weather measurement surveys – thanks to its robust design, remote configuration, online data display and low cost of ownership.
This data collection buoy is used for a wide variety of applications. These include harbour monitoring, wave energy studies, subsea engineering pre-surveys and environmental monitoring. Wind farm owners can use the ToughBoy for site analyses, harbour authorities can use it for vessel approach guidance and offshore construction teams can use it to ensure that their site’s conditions are safe before sailing out, thereby reducing the risk of damage to subsea assets, equipment and staff. For example, customers have used the ToughBoy Panchax to successfully monitor wave and current conditions at the offshore construction sites of wind turbines and bridges.
The ToughBoy Panchax comes in two sizes, 1.2 and 1.9 m in diameter, and in four models. The choice of model depends on which ADCP you wish to include in the solution – or if you wish to purchase a wave buoy with or without an ADCP. The choice of size depends on your project specifications – for example you may opt for the larger size if you are deploying the ToughBoy in an environment with strong winds and waves or if you need a larger payload capacity.
This data collection buoy can be equipped with additional sensors, such as a weather transmitter, tide sensor or environmental sensors, by the EIVA team. So, you get a marine data monitoring buoy that perfectly matches the setup you’re looking for – whether you want an oceanographic profiling buoy for scientific studies or an ocean current and weather buoy for monitoring conditions during offshore construction.
