About

Offshore Renewable Energy Catapult awarded a contract to Moog Controls Ltd for a Six Degree of Freedom (6DOF) dynamic platform test rig (hexapod) to expand its testing facilities.

The hexapod will simulate motion and loading on structures, components, and technologies resulting from hydrodynamic interactions in the offshore environment, enabling controlled dynamic load testing for part and full scale floating structures, components, systems, and technologies in a simulated marine environment.

The system may be integrated into a larger reacting and support frame with permanent or temporary support platforms, and will integrate with modelling and simulation software requiring control system integration.

The contract value is £165,120.
