Summary of services

Coastal Research and Modelling Services delivers specialised renewable energy engineering services that support resilient, efficient, and innovative offshore and coastal energy systems.

Coastal Research and Modelling Services by topic include:

Offshore Wind: Design and simulation of fixed- and floating-wind farm infrastructure, including dynamic cable systems and foundation stability under marine loads.

Floating Solar: Simulation of wave and hydrodynamic conditions for floating solar arrays, ensuring durability and performance in wave-exposed environments. 

Subsea Cables: Provides installation support for static and dynamic cables, including specialist hydrodynamic, wave and sediment data required for CBRA (Cable burial Risk Assessment) and advice on optimising cable routes across complex seabeds to minimise risks and uncertainty.

Cable Landfalls: Design and simulation of landfalls and transition zones optimising protection and minimising environmental impact for import cables.

Wave Energy: Modelling support for wave energy converters and environmental impact assessments.

Extreme Wave Forces: Modelling hydrodynamic loads on offshore structures and energy devices, enhancing survivability and operational reliability.
