Ocean Systems buoy and offshore structures affiliates team includes technical staff with integrated experience and knowledge in the treatment of the main areas that contribute to the design, construction, installation, and operation of fixed and floating offshore structures. The teams that work with Ocean Systems are knowledgeable of the ocean environment; hydrodynamics; gravity wave theories; fluid loading on offshore structures; hydrostatics and dynamic response of floating bodies; and model and field testing. We understand first principles, basic fluid mechanics, wave theory, hydrodynamics, and structural analysis to meet application needs. Basic equations and theoretical results are derived in a rigorous manner as necessary to support model testing, full-scale measurements, design, and certification. We seek a balanced treatment of fundamental and practical issues.
