Marine Constuction
Tidal Marine is dedicated to providing comprehensive visual aids for navigation, offering customized solutions to the Marine Construction industry. Our products include buoys with specific moorings, marine lanterns, and floating information signage tailored to each project’s location and needs.
Our Services:
- Traffic Delineation: For areas restricted to through traffic, we employ yellow navigation buoys equipped with corresponding yellow marine lanterns. These are strategically placed around marine work zones to clearly mark no-entry zones.
- Channel Marking: We provide both temporary and permanent channel marking solutions using lateral navigation buoys. These are outfitted with marine lanterns as needed to ensure mariner safety and compliance with navigational standards.
- Informational Signage: Close to marine works areas or at the ends of channels, we install information buoys or floating signage to inform mariners of new or revised navigational conditions.
With over 25 years of experience, Tidal Marine is your expert partner in designing Transport Canada-compliant perimeter and channel marking systems. Whether you are in the initial stages of a project or need to adjust existing plans based on Transport Canada requirements, our team can provide economical and effective solutions.

Featured Project: Black Sturgeon River Bridge
For the Black Sturgeon River Bridge construction near Kenora, Ontario, Tidal Marine crafted a channel marking solution that addressed heavy recreational boat traffic and high-speed water navigation. This project featured:
- Construction Ahead Information Buoys at both channel ends, equipped with cautionary yellow solar flashing lights.
- Lighted Red and Green Spar Buoys to mark the channel entry, ensuring clear direction both day and night.
- Unlighted Spar Buoys that narrowed the channel towards the bridge, guiding mariners safely.
- Large Sphere Buoys under the bridge to maintain consistent channel delineation.
CAUTIONARY BOUNDARY MARKING
Many marine projects require specific areas to be marked as hazardous. To manage this, we utilize Cautionary Buoys and Lights to outline perimeters effectively, warning mariners of restricted areas. These are essential in high-traffic zones or near environmental protection projects like seawall reconstructions, where a containment boom with a turbidity curtain is utilized.
Commitment to Safety and Compliance
At Tidal Marine, we understand the critical nature of accurate and visible navigational aids in preventing accidents and reducing liability issues for construction companies. Our solutions are designed to enhance safety, prevent damage to marine structures, and protect marine ecosystems during construction activities.
