The Imenco Guidepost Extension – GPE Model GL-4 can be installed on the top of existing guideposts that have GL-4 post top profile. The Imenco Guidepost Extension – GPE Model GL-4 extension is easily installed and retrieved using the guideline with standard Guidewire Anchor or Lifting Anchor. A release ring, which is located just below the top of the post, is easily operated by ROV (or diver) for lock down (L) and release/ unlock (U) of the extension.
