Drijfvest

Drijfvest is a floating device utilized in maritime and hydraulic contexts. In maritime applications, it serves as a marker or buoy to indicate hazards, navigation routes, or boundaries in waterways. For hydraulic engineering, it may be employed to manage water flow, control erosion, or stabilize structures. Typically constructed from plastic, metal, or composite materials, drijfvests are designed for durability and buoyancy. Historically, traditional drijfvests were made from wood or cork, evolving with modern materials to enhance functionality. Many regions have established standards for drijfvest design and placement to ensure visibility and effectiveness. Technological advancements, such as LED lighting or GPS tracking, have further improved operational efficiency and monitoring capabilities.
