Engineering Design & Analysis

​

We can offer engineering services from early concept development through to the production of fully detailed designs for systems and components of all sizes. Our team has extensive knowledge of creating fully integrated solutions across multiple disciplines. We are happy to discuss any engineering problems you might have, be it small or large.  Whether you would like help optimising a current design or developing a completely new solution, please get in touch.

 

Some of the more specific integrated solutions that we have worked on are listed below.

 

• Integrated bearing & sealing systems;

• Mooring and electrical connection systems;

• Hydraulic Power Take-Off (PTO) systems;

• Complex system instrumentation & control;

• Subsea cable management systems;

• Adjustable buoyancy systems;

• Marinised, remote-controlled, hydraulic power packs;

• Redundant communication systems;

• Integrated test rig solutions;

• Safe access and maintenance structures.

​

Modelling and simulation are crucial part of all stages of design. Quoceant engineers have have extensive understanding of the usefulness and limitations of different modelling approaches which has been built over many years of validating designs through testing and real-world operation.

​

Our modelling capability includes:

• Dynamic analysis of marine structures, moorings, subsea cabling, and marine operations.

• Structural analysis including ultimate loading, accidental loading, fatigue life, wear, and operational loading.

• Operations and maintenance (O&M) system effectiveness modelling.

• Lifecycle and Cost of Energy modelling.

• Control Algorithm development.

​

 Quoceant have expertise in the following software: 

• Finite Element Analysis - Abaqus, SolidWorks (COSMOS)

• Complex Hydrodynamic Modelling & Analysis - OrcaFlex

• General Analysis and Bespoke Modelling - Mathcad, MatLab & SimuLink, Excel (Visual Basic)
