Deployment & Maintenance
6.1 Transporting Platform and Deployment Examples
After all pre-deployment testing is completed, you will now need a plan to transport your
Floating Platform system to it remote site. The pontoon version can normally be taken by trailer
to the water where final checkout of the system is recommended. The buoy version may require
a hoist or some other means to transfer it to the water. There are many ways to handle this.
Below are a few photographs of deployment procedures to give you some ideas. Do not hesitate
to contact Endeco/YSI if you need help. Contact information is in Appendix A of this manual.

maintenance. Routine maintenance is described below in this section.
