OFF-SHORE WIND FARMS

Support studies for the development of off-shore wind farms: buoyancy, towing and anchoring conditions for the design of different gravity structures supporting off-shore wind turbines (Scotland and the Canary Islands); analysis of the risks of interaction with maritime traffic in nearby ports (Dunkirk, France).

MEASURING BERTHED VESSELS’ MOVEMENT

The first work in Spain on to measure berthed vessels’ movement on a real scale using GPS-IMU in Punta Langosteira (A Coruña Outer Harbour). The same project was carried out in 2015, on the Cepsa jetty at the Port of Algeciras. Siport21 developed the measuring instrumentation and methodology, which enabled the dynamic response of 13…

FLOATING CAISSONS

Analysis and optimisation of the anchoring process for concrete caissons at the dock at the Port of Gijón, a work with a uniquely sized vertical structure on the Cantabrian coast. The study enabled the limits of the anchoring operation to be fixed (direction-height-wave times) over and above the technical literature for use, for the specific…
