WaveRider 2009
The WaveRider 2009 is a mobile system for recording water depths. The system can be lowered from jack-up platforms or bridges or directly put in any type of water.
System handling is done via the own supply cable. Lowering, lifting up or holding in position with the flow. All components are supplied with power via a 12V battery and are therefore completely self-sufficient. Currently the WaveRider is used in a 30m configuration. An extension is possible without further ado.
The multihull architecture of the WaveRider allows a relatively stable position in the water. A ballast keel on the lower side of the WaveRider ensures a targeted position of the platform as it is lowered into the water, even in strong waves.
