For nearly 50 years, C-CORE has supported offshore energy developments via our ocean engineering expertise. Our extensive work in this area positions us to offer design-basis support and systems evaluation for offshore wind and renewable developments, particularly those in remote or harsh climates. We help clients understand design for operations in frontier regions, and the associated risks, through developing novel designs and mitigating operational risk.

Key areas of application:

• Environmental characterization and trends
• Design basis development
• Ocean dynamic effects
• CFD modeling of wind loading effects
• Waves loads and combined wave/ice loading effects
• Geotechnical analysis and reviews
• Structural and foundation analysis with detailed FE modeling
• Mooring system design, review, and verification
• Centrifuge testing of mooring and foundation systems
• Oceans/Marine Based Model Testing
• Subsea cabling interaction effects (fishing and ice keels)
• Risk and risk mitigation
• Support concept development, Pre-feed, feed, and detailed design
