The deeper the ocean, the greater the challenge—but with Hazelett Elastic Rodes, the sea becomes a partner, not an obstacle.” This bold shift in perspective encapsulates why Hazelett Marine’s elastic mooring solutions are revolutionizing maritime projects. With a proven track record and cutting-edge technology, these rodes redefine what’s possible in mooring systems, wave attenuators, and dock stability.

What Makes Hazelett Elastic Rodes Stand Out?

Traditional mooring systems rely on chains that damage seabeds, create jerking forces, and lead to high maintenance costs. Hazelett Elastic Rodes are different. Made from advanced polyurethane elastomer, these rodes stretch and contract with environmental forces, reducing strain on infrastructure while protecting marine ecosystems.

Here’s how they shine in specific applications:

  1. Mooring Solutions: Securing Vessels with Ease

Hazelett Elastic Rodes offer unparalleled efficiency in mooring density. Traditional systems require a 3-to-1 scope ratio, but Hazelett’s innovative design operates with a 1-to-1 scope, allowing for 40% more boats in the same space.
Key Benefit: This not only maximizes marina capacity but also reduces wear and tear on equipment, significantly lowering mooring maintenance needs. Whether you’re managing a bustling marina or a small private harbor, this solution is a game-changer.

  1. Gentle Motion for Docks and Wave Attenuators

A dock that sways uncontrollably in rough waters is not just inconvenient—it’s unsafe. Hazelett Elastic Rodes eliminate this issue by absorbing wave energy. Their elasticity ensures docks and wave attenuators remain stable, even during high tide or storms.
Specific Impact: Docks secured with Hazelett Rodes offer a smooth motion, making them safer for walking and more resilient in adverse weather. This is why leading marinas across the globe trust Hazelett for dock stability.

  1. Eco-Friendly Engineering

Marine ecosystems are fragile, and traditional mooring chains wreak havoc on the seabed, destroying eelgrass and coral reefs. Hazelett’s floating elastic mooring system leave the seabed untouched, promoting biodiversity.
Stat to Know: Areas where Hazelett systems replaced chain moorings have seen seagrass regrowth in just two years. For eco-conscious marina operators, this is an essential upgrade.

  1. Wave Attenuators: Reducing Peak Loads

Wave attenuators are critical in protecting marinas from strong currents. Hazelett Elastic Rodes reduce peak loads at connection points by 50%, minimizing stress and extending the lifespan of the structure.
Why It Matters: This ensures that your investment in wave attenuation infrastructure remains cost-effective and durable over the long term.

  1. Low Maintenance, High Performance

Hazelett Elastic Rodes are built to last. With fewer metal components and no dragging chains, maintenance requirements drop significantly. These rodes are engineered to withstand over 20kN of force and can stretch up to 200% of their original length without losing integrity.
Pro Tip: Annual inspections are recommended, but their robust design means fewer costly repairs.
