The surface of GRP material is able to readily bond with marine paint to acquire a vibrant and distinctive Daymark to mariners.
Due to its lightweight, WM BT-series GRP Beacon Towers can be easily transported in segments and readily assembled on site with the use of simple tools, sealed and bolted together.
Accordingly to user’s requirement, WM BT-series GRP Beacon Towers can be fabricated to accommodate additional beacon accessories such as marine lanterns, leading lights, rotating beacons, radar beacons (Racons), radar reflectors, solar modules, battery banks and lightning protectors etc.
