anchoring & mooring consulants required?

[Freebee]

I want to anchor a 600 metres of floating hose to the sea bed (shallow water)-does anyone know a professional mooring consultant that I could talk to?

 

[Blackfeather]

Can we ask why?

 

[Freebee]

because a floating hose will get carried away by the tide of course!

 

[Blackfeather]

No, still don't get it.

 

[Freebee]

well I want it to stay put for several weeks!

So you only want to anchor one end?

Doesn't this create 550+ metres of navigational hazard /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

 

[Freebee]

Yes, did I not mention the warning lights marker bouys and harbour master permission.s

 

[Freebee]

On line cheapy mooring expert. Eerrr undred quid. Tie some bricks to the pipe every metre or two. Long piece of string or short, where do you want it to float? Is this some form of submarine defence??

 

[Freebee]

Get some hollow concrete blocks some string, some balloons, a loaf of bread and 3 ducks, thread the hose through the concrete blocks and with the string tie 3 balloons to each block. Take the strongest duck and use him to tow the hose into position enticing him with the bread. Then take the rest of the ducks and let them attack the balloons (on which is painted a picture of a piece of toast)
With the balloons burst the blocks will sink to the bottom where the hose will not represent a navigation hazard.
If you need the hose to be on the surface you will have to use short heavy chain.

Last job – Eat the ducks.

Hope this helps

Maybe try Vikoma who manufacture and operate polution protection and control systems, like containment booms, which must be anchored when used across river mouths?
They're in Southampton somewhere.

Hi Run anchor chain along the pipe and affix with suitable stainless clips attach several other anchors along its length and deliver it to the sea bed in the same manner as anchoring.
