Navigate the Seas from Bid to O&M

Metocean Support
for Every Project Phase

Just as energy prices depend on wake models, T&I, O&M, and foundation costs depend on metocean analysis.

Not all ocean data is the same.

Data resolution, concurrency, and duration are all important factors.

Hurricanes are different from winter storms.

Different storm types mean different risks, different models, and modified methods for safe planning and design.

Decision-making with poor weather data can mean unplanned days at port.

Identifying biases in models and methods can help to better identify long-term trends.

Permitting changes may require new models.

Designing the right model ensures stakeholders’ concerns are addressed technically.

Design loads are an iterative process.

As designs progress, changes become costlier. Metocean expertise ensures that all packages are considering the same meteorological and oceanographic factors.

What is “Metocean”?

Metocean analysis is the study of the environment around ocean infrastructure: winds, waves, currents, water levels, and their extremes.

It is the collection and curation of data to tell a story about the project site and what the project will have to withstand over its lifetime.

It’s also the statistical assessment of storms and storm risk that all parts of the infrastructure will face. In short, meteorology and oceanography are the glue between the parts of an offshore wind farm and their operational success.

Does your team have it covered?

What story does your metocean data tell? Can you bring it to the bank?

Is analysis applied consistently between project components?
Do you have methods for checking measurement and model quality?
Can you quantify how site extremes will influence design and planning?

You might have questions. We’re happy to explore them with you.
