Innovation
Seawork has been involved with research and development in the field of Decompression monitoring, and won a prize in the Highland Resource Initiative, with a conceptual development of large scale floating breakwaters.
In addition Robin Turner has contributed as a lecturer to the EU Offshore Mariculture courses in the University in Zaragoza, Spain, in the specialist topics of Site surveys, and Mooring design. The first two pages of the lectures can be seen by using this link but should you wish a full copy please use the contact form.
Closed fish cage project: Seawork has been heavily involved with a European consortium working on the production of a closed fish cage for use in sensitive environments. Further information can be found at www.closedfishcage.com.
Jetfloat platform: Design and installation of a bathing platform in the sea at Hurghada. Moorings designed to protect the coral reefs on which the platform was based.
Macro algae project (crown estates): Currently Seawork is being involved with a project which is investigating the growth and use of Macro Algae as a fuel substitute. Seawork is involved with the development of growing platforms to resist problems of weather and current.
Offshore Fish Cage simulated Current trials: Chile: These full scale trials gathered empirical data on current drag forces, cage collar and net deflections, on a system towed by a large Tug to simulate currents. This data is to be combined with Finite Element Analysis of the cage structure, to predict internal forces.
Design & Installation of Live fish Pump Ashore platform: Scotland: This installation was designed to protect rare Serpulid Reefs in Loch Creran Scotland. The permanent platform, and floating walkway with the pump ashore pipe-lines, have to withstand the extreme Scottish weather, and the berthing of large Well boats. Pump ashore schemes permit the processing of Live fish on land, without the need to kill fish at sea, a practice which can lead to the spread of fish disease.
Design of feed barge: Design of new feed barge to be installed on fish farm sites.
Underwater observatory in Egyptian National Park: Design of underwater glassed observatory for installation in Egyptian National Park to view coral reefs and fish life.
Floating breakwater new type - design of a new kind of breakwater to provide protection for marinas and other onshore structures, gained second place in a competition for marine innovation run by the Highland Resource Initiative.
