Buoy Mooring Analysis

Meteorological Buoy & Oceanographic Mooring Design Services

Our specialized service focuses on the analysis and design of moorings for oceanographic and meteorological applications. Utilizing advanced marine dynamic analysis, we assess both surface and subsurface moorings to ensure optimal performance and reliability in the harshest marine environments.

From coastal wave buoys in shallow water, to offshore ODAS buoys, to FLiDAR buoys for the assessment of offshore wind assessment: our team has the technology and experience to safeguard your buoy systems and the valuable data they collect.

Dynamic Analysis of Moorings
  • Comprehensive assessment of mooring systems using state-of-the-art marine dynamic analysis software.
  • Evaluation of mooring loads, submergence, and knock-down effects to ensure stability and durability.
  • Fatigue assessment of metal mooring components like chain, shackles and links.
  • Deployment analysis to verify loads during anchor free fall
  • Determination of clump weight anchor sizes
  • Custom design solutions for surface moorings, including wave buoys and floating Lidar buoys.
  • Tailored subsurface mooring designs to meet specific oceanographic and meteorological data collection needs.
  • Drawings and bill of materials for mooring construction
    • Independent verification of mooring designs to provide confidence and assurance in their performance.
    • Detailed reports that validate the integrity and reliability of mooring systems under extreme conditions.

Our mooring analysis and design service can include risk assessments for your moorings for:

  • Fatigue
  • Fish bite
  • VIV / Strumming
