RIGHT WAY
Poured concrete

Wire Rope Clips
(optional: Quantity

Electrical Cable
(optional)
At least two clips must
be used. Use of three
clips provides extra
security.
A typical mooring post installation (
FIGURE 12
) shows the easiest way to secure
mooring cable. The cable is wrapped around the post several times and secured with a
minimum of two wire rope clips. Each mooring post installation is different depending
on soil type and cable loading. A typical setup uses a seven foot (2.1 m) long, four inch
(10.2 cm) diameter schedule 40 galvanized pipe. This is typically filled with concrete
and buried five to six feet (1.5 - 1.8 m) deep with a two foot square (0.6 m x0.6 m)
concrete footing. Although AEROMIX studies and designs the mooring posts it supplies,
in cases where other parties furnish these, we recommend a registered professional
engineer checks the equipment and site conditions, and designs the mooring posts
accordingly.
