Hindcasting data operations is based on estimates of the metocean conditions to which a structure will be exposed and is critical to the overall structural design.Nowcasting International in association with its partners offers hindcasting services to offshore and coastal engineering communities in Europe and other selected basins. The sophisticated hindcastdata provided includes extreme wind, wave, surge and current estimates.
Benefits
Avoids overestimation of potential metocean conditions and so prevents unnecessary material and fabrication costs.
Provides increased confidence in the structural integrity of coastal and offshore structures against the local metocean conditions.
Provides increased confidence in component fatigue estimates (so helping avoid premature and unncessary replacement)
Significant operational cost savings by allowing planning (e.g. selecting the best time of year for metocean sensitive operations).
