In many marine projects, the collection of detailed and accurate site-specific data is critical both to the cost-effective assessment of alternatives early in the project and to the setting of design criteria.
Sandwell maintains a wide inventory of met-ocean data, including global ocean weather models, satellite data and locally recorded data. In addition, we routinely mobilize sophisticated underwater imaging and measurement equipment such as geo-acoustic profilers, Doppler profiling current meters and directional wave sensors. Data from these and other sensors is used to build and refine the computer models that enable us to simulate many of the processes and interactions of the physical environment.
offshore structures, Russia
We carry out both computer simulation and physical modelling for:
- wind/wave analysis
- tide and river hydraulics
- wave and current forces
- hydrodynamic and mooring analysis
- sediment processes
