Technology Innovation
We are specialists in technology innovation. Now an independent engineering consultancy, the Quoceant team came from a background in device development with the founding team having a background in developing the Pelamis Wave Energy converter. This history in technology development has given us a rare combination of real-world operational experience and knowledge which we now use to develop innovative solutions to complex technical problems, often with very tight timescales and budgets.
Prototyping and qualification testing are a vital part of any technology development programme, providing valuable information on functionality, suitability, durability and reliability of a component or system. We have experience in design, build and operation of test rigs, undertaking tank testing, commissioning of components and systems and designing and undertaking qualification programmes.
