Rota Design worked with their client in the design development of a 3 metre diameter navigation buoy. The environmental conditions in which it will operate are obviously of paramount concern together with handling and maintenance aspects.
A modular approach was adopted to the product design where interchangeable sections rotationally moulded using different coloured materials and with differing shapes to assure conformity to strict international maritime standards.
Throughout the design, a quality assured methodology was adopted by manual calculation and /or finite element analysis being undertaken.
