dead weight Explanation: See discussion here: https://forum.wordreference.com/threads/muerto-de-boya.37313... Muerto de boya definición: "elemento de gran peso apoyado en el fondo del mar donde se afirma el cabo del fondeo". https://candock.com/candock-products/concrete-dead-weights/ DEAD WEIGHT ANCHOR A Dead Weight anchor is generally any object with a large weight that relies soley on its weight to anchor the floating boom or curtain. Due to the necessary weight that these anchors must be, they are often used for more permanent installations as they need to be deployed and retrieved with a crane or other mechanical device. https://daltoninternational.co.nz/wp-content/uploads/2020/09... |
