Method of setting anchor chains of floating cautionary signs with a supporting buoy

Abstract

This utility model pertains to hydraulic structures, specifically to methods for deploying anchor chains for floating warning signs with a supporting buoy, designed to mark navigational hazards and designate fairways, recommended routes, traffic separation zones, and restricted areas. The method involves installing an anchor, an anchor chain, and a floating warning sign capable of rotating around its axis. The anchor chain, approximately midway along its length, is equipped with a supporting buoy that keeps the chain suspended in the water column, preventing it from sinking to the bottom, snagging on underwater objects, chafing, or twisting. The length of the anchor chain is selected to be 1.5 times the anchoring depth, and the weight and shape of the anchor weight ensure that the floating warning sign is securely anchored in its designated location. Technical result: increased reliability of the installation of a floating warning sign, increased service life of the anchor system, reduced accidents associated with the removal of signs, and reduced operating costs.
