Our Organization
To strengthen our ability to deliver comprehensive solutions, we have consolidated expertise across disciplines, including structural engineering, hydrodynamics, design, mooring, concept development, and documentation, into a single unit: Marine Engineering.
The department is led by:
- Håkon Tønne, Director of Marine Engineering
- Kasper Wåsjø, Head of Mooring
- Lars Andreas Larsen, Head of Pens and Nets
- Magnus Theodorsen, Head of Development New Concepts
- Geir Håvard Espnes, Technical Compliance Manager
Analysis
To determine the optimal solutions for mooring, net pens, and floating collars, we conduct advanced site-specific analyses and assessments. Our team of highly qualified specialists uses state-of-the-art analytical tools to ensure all components are dimensioned according to industry standards.
We combine our customers’ practical experience with advanced site classification and simulations. Our data models allow us to simulate real-world conditions at a site, including extreme weather scenarios. By integrating current and wave data, we can accurately calculate the forces acting on mooring systems and pen structures, ensuring they remain within the safety margins defined by the NS9415 standard.
For additional quality assurance, we conduct a final assessment of the deployed mooring system. We analyze all relevant data and provide a detailed report documenting the system’s performance and safety.
Testing
To ensure our products withstand extreme loads, we conduct extensive testing of both individual components and complete structures. Our testing process combines theoretical calculations with practical stress tests to validate material strength, design integrity, and functionality.
We utilize high-capacity winches to simulate real-world loads on floating collars and mooring systems. By subjecting equipment to controlled, extreme stresses, we can identify potential weaknesses and optimize solutions before deployment.
Testing is carried out in close collaboration with our customers to ensure that each solution meets specific operational requirements. Through systematic testing and result analysis, we contribute to the development of even more robust and reliable products for the aquaculture industry.
