5. Current Business
A. Review and Discuss Project Components
a. Seaflex System and URS
Brian Hylland from Seaflex and Prabin Tuladhar from URS were in attendance to
present concepts for Seaflex and the floating platforms. Hylland talked at length
about the technology of the bands and use with the helix-anchor system (handouts).
Seaflex dampens the movement or swing of moorings/floats. The system can be
attached under floats to maximize navigable water space for deeper keeled vessels.
Tuladhar presented illustrations on how the floats, Seaflex, and anchors can be
installed. Seaflex uses polyester bands that stretch with little metal for securing to the
weight and floats. The bands constantly stretch and retract prohibiting marine growth.
The Seaflex system requires very little maintenance but still requires regular
inspections. 2-4 bands work as a system to secure floating platforms. Tuladhar
mentioned that the floats and anchor systems must be engineered to withstand
extreme stresses of wind and tide fluctuations. Chris Miller added that a concept can
be drawn that will provide a rough cost estimate using Seaflex and wooden floats.
Tuladhar also provided some design issues to consider for the floating platforms.
b. Newport Mooring Association participation and outreach
Chair Avery reiterated how he appreciated the participation from the Newport Mooring
Association and other mooring permittees. He added that additional outreach to all of
the mooring permittees, including non-Newport Mooring Association members, was
necessary.
c. Rules, regulations, and how to use the docks
Due to time constraints, this topic wasn’t covered in depth at this meeting.
d. Project notification to all mooring permittees
See item above.

were the report will be presented.
