The SB-138P Sentinel® buoy is a product of Tideland Signal’s continued commitment in developing new higher performance, low maintenance, cost effective marine aids to navigation. Deployed in over 40 countries, the SB- 138P buoy utilises the benefits of the latest in materials, manufacturing processes and technology. Providing a rugged, lightweight buoy with exceptional station-keeping and long life, while reducing the long term maintenance expense typically associated with floating aids to navigation. EATURES UV-STABILISED POLYETHYLENE – Rotationally moulded to form a seamless body, 9.5mm thick. Through a unique mould design and a controlled process, an increased thickness is formed at major stress points. DIVIDED INTO THREE SECTIONS – A float section, battery section and a nav-aid section form an abrasion resistant, shock absorbing buoy able to withstand knocks and/or collisions. The float section has a moulded in slip resistant surface, providing an added safety precaution for on station maintenance. MATCHING OR ALTERNATING SECTIONS – Easily makes bifurcation buoys, either red or green as required. Cardinal boys can be assembled using the same method, with yellow and black sections. Fairway or Safe Water buoys are produced using a process of moulded in colour graphics, resulting in red and white vertical striping. LONG-TERM STRENGTH AND SECURITY – The float section is internally cross-braced with stainless steel rods that are connected to stainless steel bushings in mooring and lifting eyes. Mooring eyes are fitted with a replaceable stainless steel wear bushing. STABILITY – Achieved by filling float section with a calculated amount of reinforced concrete as ballast.
