Hydrodynamics Assessment
Hydrodynamics studies water movement and its impact on structures, enabling the design of safer, more efficient ships and resilient maritime structures like platforms and bridges. At Cove & Cooper, we leverage our expertise in hydrodynamics to analyze the behavior of marine structures in complex ocean environments, delivering innovative and reliable solutions for our clients.
Global Performance
Global motions analysis addresses the movement of a ship in response to environmental forces. This analysis is critical for calculating accelerations at specific points on the vessel, which is essential for sea fastening design to secure cargo safely during transit. It is also used to determine operational limits for equipment, such as assessing when an Active Heave Compensation (AHC) crane can function effectively. By understanding the ship’s motions, engineers at Cove & Cooper ensure cargo stability, minimize risks, and optimize performance under various sea conditions.
Tow and Transport
At Cove & Cooper, one of our core specialties is the tow and transport of vessels or cargo between harbors or shipyards. Our engineering analyses focus on determining weather limits and associated tow loads, ensuring safe and efficient operations. With meticulous attention to detail and advanced techniques, we provide reliable solutions tailored to the unique challenges of each transport project. Our expertise extends to conducting assessments for some of the world’s most unexpected and complex tows, demonstrating our adaptability and commitment to excellence in even the most unconventional scenarios.
Mooring and Station Keeping
Another common topic for us at Cove & Cooper is design and analysis of mooring and station keeping systems. We have experience with many different mooring designs from shallow to deep water. We also have worked and design different mooring configuration including spread or turret moored systems.Â
Flowline Design and Analysis
Whether at the concept or detailed design level, we have extensive experience in designing rigid (SCR) and flexible flowlines, risers, umbilicals, and cables. Our portfolio includes projects ranging from the deep waters of Australia and West Africa to the shallow waters of the Mediterranean Sea.
Structural Design/Analysis
Our experienced engineers design and analyze structures using state-of-the-art FEA techniques, enabling us to develop a wide range of structural components, including suction cans, PLETs, or even windmill blades. From conceptual design to detailed analysis, we deliver innovative and reliable solutions tailored to meet the demands of diverse industries.
Installation Engineering (deployment/Recovery)
At Cove & Cooper, Installation Engineering is our specialist niche. We excel in analyzing lay and wet-storing and pull-in operations, utilizing state-of-the-art techniques to optimize weather windows. This approach minimizes wait-on-weather downtime, ensuring efficient and reliable project execution for our clients. Additionally, we have expertise in performing SIMOPRO, offering comprehensive solutions for simultaneous operations planning and execution.
Geotechnical Assessments
At Cove & Cooper, we provide comprehensive geotechnical design services tailored for offshore field development. Our expertise includes foundation design for subsea structures, pipelines, and offshore platforms, ensuring stability and performance in challenging seabed conditions. Using advanced analytical tools and cutting-edge software, we assess soil-structure interactions, optimize foundation systems, and mitigate risks associated with geotechnical uncertainties. Whether it’s designing suction piles, mudmats, or anchor systems, our solutions are engineered to meet the specific demands of deepwater and shallow-water projects. Partner with us to ensure your offshore developments are built on a solid foundation for success.
