Facilities

To support our consultancy to our ship and offshore customers, we have a range of sophisticated and modern in-house facilities. For example we have two towing tanks, five different wind tunnels and ship simulators. Furthermore, we make use of sophisticated data software, including CFD for calculation of the sequence of events.

Towing tanks

Our towing tanks comprise a deep water towing tank and a shallow water maneuvering basin. The towing tanks assure our customers the possibility to test ship and offshore structures under realistic and extreme weather conditions.

Wind tunnels

Our five in-house tunnels are used for experimental investigations of ship and offshore structures, for example vessels and oil and gas platforms, and of bridges and buildings.

Ship simulators

Our ship simulators range from full-mission ship simulators to desktop simulators. Choice of simulator depends on customer needs and requirements.

Software and model building

For our wind tunnels and towing tanks experiments we use a wide range of model design software. For manufacturing of advanced and complex structures we use rapid prototyping techniques utilizing our 3D printer which enable us to manufacture or modify models in a short time. We also have a large workshop where our professional model builders construct exact replicas of miniature ships, oil and gas platforms, building and bridges.
