Metocean design criteria are provided for fixed and floating structures, offloading facilities and coastal wind turbines. The criteria are tailored to the proposed facility and additional evaluation is provided for parameters of special relevance to the type of structure under consideration. Study reports are structured in accordance with local regulations, appropriate engineering guidance and international standards. Therefore a design criteria study will provide information with respect to:

  • Normal Conditions
  • Long Term Distributions
  • Extreme Values
  • Confidence and Uncertainty
  • Joint Probability

A typical parameter list for a full design criteria study is given below:

  • Winds
  • Waves
  • Currents
  • Water Levels
  • Meteorological Parameters Other than Winds
    • Air Temperature
    • Precipitation
    • Humidity
    • Fog
    • Wind Chill
  • Sea Temperature
  • Sea Water Chemistry
  • Marine Growth
  • Tsunamis
  • Snow and Icing
  • Sea Ice and Icebergs
