Floating Deployment
|
|
Reef Ballstm are cast around an extremely durable Polyform bladder. This bladder can be left in the unit to provide flotation so the Reef Balltm can be towed behind any size boat. Once at the site, the bladder is deflated and removed. When divers are used, the unit can be placed precisely on the sea floor with a controlled descent, making repairs to damaged reefs possible without endangering natural reefs. If desired, the units can be deployed by barge without divers. Multiple units can be towed behind a single boat. Seas should be 3-4 feet or less. Recommended towing speed is 2-3 knots, but techniques are available to attain 5 knots for long hauls.
