WHAT IS SEAFLEX?

Seaflex is a reinforced elastic mooring solution

that expands and retracts with each tide and wave,

keeping the floating application stable and in

position day after day, year after year. The unique

construction of the system offers unsurpassed

dampening of forces which enables an increased

lifetime of the structures it is mooring. This

dampening effect is instrumental in reducing

peak loads during hurricanes, tsunami events and

stormy weather conditions with high waves. It

does this while being invisible from the surface,

creating some of the most modern, sleek, state of

the art marinas in the world.

With over 30 years of research and development

Seaflex is the most technologically advanced

mooring system in the world, anchoring thousands

of marinas, wave attenuators and buoys

worldwide.

CAN I USE SEAFLEX?

Seaflex is custom made for the site specific

forces present at each project location. Our

Seaflex engineers help design the best solution

for a variety of needs. Seaflex can be used in

both shallow and deep water. It can be used in

locations with no water level variation as well

as locations with large artificial variation such

as water reservoirs. You can use practically any

anchor to secure the Seaflex to the sea floor;

ranging anywhere from embedment options such

as Helix anchors to concrete blocks depending on

the bottom conditions.

The world leader in mooring systems

One of the greatest benefits with Seaflex is the unique way it stabilizes the dock by always being under

tension. With static piles there will always be vertical movements. The nonexistent downward force allows the dock to smash up against the piles during bad weather, leading to damage on the piles, pile guides, docks, and boats. The only movement stopped by the piles is the horizontal movement which gets stopped rather abruptly when the dock hits the pile guide, causing wear and tear over time.

The initial cost of a mooring system varies depending on factors like water depth, layout and the surrounding forces. When installing in deep water, piles can be very costly, or not even an option due to depth. This is not a problem for Seaflex. Even at times where Seaflex initially might seem like the more costly mooring option, the cost over time will generally be lower than the cost of piles due to the Seaflex units low installation cost, its fast and easy inspections and low maintenance needs.

Sometimes the bottom conditions make it unfeasible to use piles, there might be a hard rock bottom requiring you to drill pile sockets or too soft soils requiring the piles to be battered down far. Other locations might have permit issues due to subway tunnels, electrical cables, pipes or even protected coral. Seaflex on the other hand can be paired up with any anchor regardless of bottom conditions and is generally easier to get a permit for.

Compared to the old waysCOMPARED TO PILES

Same boat different harbours

On the piled marina to the left the piles are all that you notice while the Seaflex moored marina on the right enables full view of the boats.

Piles are rarely aesthetically pleasing, especially at low tide when sea growth is visible. Seaflex works invisibly and silently day in and out allowing the creation of sleek modern marinas of the future.

COMPARED TO CHAIN

Do Your research. www.seaflex.net

Chain is difficult to inspect in full and is only as strong as its weakest link! Areas have been known to replace their chain yearly out of fear that the next storm might cause it to snap in two. Seaflex has minimal hardware that is easy to inspect and is constructed of only durable high quality materials like rubber, rope and marine grade stainless steel. We also offer a titanium hybrid option for areas known to be highly corrosive.

Applications moored with chain also move a lot during low tide when large portions of the chain are resting on the sea floor. This destroys bottom vegetation and creates dead spots. Seaflex stays off the sea floor at all times, which is why it is the only accepted mooring system in certain areas with protected corals, marine flora, or historic artifacts.

Winch and cable systems are very labor intensive and has no dampening for sudden high waves or wind gusts making snapped cable an issue during storms. Seaflex self-regulates, elongates and retracts with every movement to ensure that your application is stable and secure even during stormy weather.
