SECTION 6: FLOAT MOORING OPTIONS
A float mooring system is more flexible for positioning aerators than most other
mounting systems. The most common ways of mooring floats are mooring to posts on
shore or mooring to anchors. Optional mooring kits are available to enable the
attachment of the mooring lines to the float system (see Section 7.)
6.1: MOORING TO SHORE
The TORNADO floats are normally equipped to be moored either perpendicular (mooring
option A in FIGURE 11) or parallel (mooring option B in FIGURE 11) to the mooring
cable. Special modifications may be possible to allow the floats to be mounted at
different angles to shore. Size the mooring cable by number of aerators per span and
their motor horsepower by using the chart in Appendix C. Appendix C also provides
the maximum cable length and maximum unsupported distance for different cable sizes.
