Measuring buoys

Toughboy configurations for wave and current measurement

Toughboy measuring buoys are listed for wave, water level and temperature measurements, with optional Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) configurations. Vikingegaarden confirms the sensor package, mooring, power and online data access for each harbour or coastal deployment.

  • Wave, water level and temperature measurements
  • ADCP current profiling options
  • Instrument specifications confirmed before supply

Key features

Application and selection criteria

The sensor package records the conditions specified for the monitoring project. An ADCP is included when current profiling through the water column is required; wave, water level and temperature measurements are confirmed for the selected package.

Installation geometry

The measurement location, water depth and required profiling depth determine the sensor configuration. Mooring design, exposure, handling and service access are assessed for the planned deployment.

Power and autonomy

Power requirements and autonomy are confirmed for the selected buoy, instruments and measurement schedule. The quotation identifies the supply arrangement and data communication requirements; no common power rating is published for the listed variants.

Equipment documentation

The supplied configuration is identified in the project documentation. Published figures and any applicable certificates are checked against the specified operating conditions.

Online measurement access

Measurements can be made available online to the project team. Access, communication and data delivery are configured for the selected deployment.

Commissioning record

Commissioning records the installed equipment, settings and functional checks. The handover documentation defines the inspection and maintenance requirements.

Site conditions

Selection accounts for the mounting arrangement, exposure and access for servicing. Site data forms part of the agreed specification.
