The Oceanscience Group designs and builds custom buoys for oceanographic, navigation and special purpose use. We design and build surface following buoys and spar buoys of virtually any size.

Buoys up to 3 m diameter are typically constructed using urethane elastomer technology. This is the same technology used in large Navy-style ship fenders that are designed to absorb repeated collisions and abrasion over twenty years without sustaining damage. These buoys are virtually indestructible. The tough outer skin is filament wound with nylon tire cord for extreme strength. Colors are molded into the skin for low maintenance. A variety of aluminum tower and electronics box designs are available for specific power and instrumentation arrangements.
