Helix Mooring Systems
Environmentally Friendly Marine Embedment Helix Anchors
Floating Docks
Hazelett Marine elastic rodes is a proprietary advanced elastomer technology that is proven and tested with 35+ years of experience. The Elastic Rodes comes in four sizes and two stiffness levels. It is used for a number of applications including swing moorings, docks/pontoons, wave attenuators, navigation buoys and floating solar arrays. When integrated into a mooring line, the Hazelett Marine Elastic Rodes provides unparalleled stability, constant tension and extends the design life of the floating structure. Tests conducted by a third party accredited testing facility conclude that a single Hazelett Marine Elastic Rode will withstand over 20kn (4,496 lbs) of force. The elastic can repeatedly elongate over 200% and return to original length.
The Hazelett Marine elastic rodes floats above the sea bed with a minimal environmental footprint, reduces point loads, reduces wind loads, increases mooring density, and provides a more gentle dock motion.
Floating docks anchored by Helix anchors and Hazelett elastic rodes do not need piles or cable winches.
Helix anchor/rode combination can be effective in all ocean tides, moving rivers, and dam-controlled lakes for wave attenuators as well as marina docks.
Helix Mooring Systems is now offering Hazelett rodes as an alternative to traditional chain, rope, and winch/cable anchor rodes.
