WAVE BASIN TESTING CAMPAIGNS
Prior to offshore deployments, several testing campaigns has been carried out with scaled models. These tests validated the numerical models in operational and extreme conditions. Saitec Offshore Technologies approaches tank testings as a continuous tool for technology development and optimization.
Example of harsh seastate (significant wave Hs = 5 m, maximum wave height 9.5 m)
