Offshore & Coastal metocean studies

Metocean conditions (wind, waves, sea levels, currents, etc.) are certainly among the most significant parameters to achieve a technically feasible and cost-effective coastal and/or offshore project design. Assessment at worldwide locations of metocean conditions is provided using fit-for-purpose approaches and tools.

Qualified metocean hindcast databases and satellite observations are used to directly assess metocean climate or to force detailed local models.

Specific statistical analyses are performed to define typical (i.e. annual/seasonal regime, downtime, weather stand-by windows, etc.) and extreme (i.e. extreme storms characteristics, maximum wind and waves, tropical cyclones, tsunami, etc.) conditions affecting the project site.

With an eye toward the future, we assess aspects of climate change with regard to the specific requirements of each project.

Marine metocean

Support in the definitions of marine systems/operations is provided. One of the key aspects in marine engineering design is the assessment of the most critical metocean conditions.

Depending on the marine system/operation to be design or analysed (i.e. mooring systems, ship-to-ship transfer, ship motion response, sea transport, maneuvering analysis and simulation, etc.) the critical conditions not always correspond to extreme conditions resulting from an EVA (Exteme Values Analysis).

In this context, a correct representation of metocean conditions is essential to identify critical aspects affecting the final design reliability.

Additionally, we offer independent metocean consultancy services to assist loss prevention and management Companies in handling marine casualties.

Morphology and scour assessment

Hydrodynamic processes interact with the sea bottom to mobilise and transport sediments. Numerical models are used to simulate sediment transport and morphology processes generated by the interaction between hydrodynamics with bathymetry features and coastal/subsea structures.

Engineering analysis tools and numerical modelling are combined to characterize morphology processes affecting the projects at all stages including feasibility, planning, permitting and design. Assessment of morphology and scour dynamics allows evaluating performances of different project design alternatives and supporting environmental impact studies.

Applications of sediment transport modelling include design of shoreline protection, impact assessment of coastal structures, estimation of channel/trench backfilling, seabed mobility, sand waves and pipeline/cable burial criteria, local scour assessment and protections design, cover requirements for pipeline/cable landfalls and pipeline/cable free span evolution.
