Our Specialist Niche Offering
Hydrodynamics examines water movement and its effects on structures, supporting the design of safer, more efficient vessels and resilient marine structures such as platforms and bridges. At Cove & Cooper, we apply hydrodynamic analysis to understand the behaviour of marine structures in complex ocean environments and deliver reliable, practical solutions.

Global motions analysis evaluates a vessel’s response to environmental forces. It provides the accelerations required for sea-fastening design and helps establish operating limits for equipment such as active heave compensation (AHC) cranes. By understanding vessel motions, Cove & Cooper helps protect cargo stability, minimise risk and optimise performance across a range of sea conditions.

At Cove & Cooper, tow and transport engineering covers vessels and cargo moving between harbours, shipyards and offshore locations. Our analyses establish weather limits and tow loads to support safe, efficient operations. We also assess unusual and technically complex tow configurations, adapting the engineering approach to the demands of each campaign.

Mooring and station-keeping design is a core part of our work. We have experience with systems ranging from shallow-water arrangements to deep-water spread and turret-moored configurations. Our analyses assess environmental response, line loads and system performance to support robust design and safe operation.

At concept and detailed-design stages, we design and assess rigid steel catenary risers (SCRs), flexible flowlines, risers, umbilicals and cables. Our experience spans deep-water projects in Australia and West Africa as well as shallow-water developments in the Mediterranean.

Our engineers design and analyse structures using advanced finite-element analysis (FEA). The work covers components such as suction cans, pipeline end terminations (PLETs) and wind-turbine structures. From concept selection through detailed assessment, we provide practical designs supported by clear numerical evidence.

Installation engineering is one of Cove & Cooper’s specialist areas. We analyse laying, wet-storage, pull-in, deployment and recovery operations, using numerical methods to define workable weather windows and minimise wait-on-weather. We also support simultaneous operations (SIMOPS) planning and execution.

Cove & Cooper provides geotechnical design and assessment for offshore field development. Our work includes foundations for subsea structures, pipelines and offshore platforms, with analysis of soil–structure interaction and geotechnical uncertainty. We design and assess suction piles, mudmats and anchor systems for both deep-water and shallow-water projects.
