Oceanid "The sea is our job" Welcome to the Océanide website! OCEANIDE has been installed since 1986 in La Seyne sur mer (near Toulon): Ocean engineering Coastal engineering Manufacture of models General presentation Founded in 1986, the Océanide company is a maritime design office working in the fields of coastal engineering and ocean engineering. Located in La Seyne sur mer (Var), it relies on the skills of a permanent experienced team of 21 people, a high-performance digital modeling platform and a combination of test resources unique in France. Finally, through a strong partnership with engineering schools and research centers in the region, it devotes a significant part of its activity to research. Coastal engineering In coastal engineering, Océanide is aimed both at local communities in the context of coastal development projects and at private companies for the realization of large projects in shallow water. Its capacities range from expertise to project management, including engineering. Its specialists cover the following areas, using digital and physical modeling: hydrodynamics, currents, sedimentology, design and sizing of port structures, protection structures or underwater outlets. Ocean engineering Since July 1998, Océanide has been operating the BGO FIRST. This ocean engineering basin makes it possible to model the marine environment (swell, current, wind) on fixed or mobile structures (oil platforms, ships, renewable energies, etc.) and therefore to help the sizing of these structures or the development of marine operations. The tests on reduced models carried out in the BGO constitute one of the main activities of Océanide with more than 200 test campaigns carried out to date both for French and foreign manufacturers and for research. Océanide en quelques chiffres... Ocean engineering news OCEANIDE, partner of the VERTIWIND vertical blade wind turbine demonstrator project, is currently carrying out basin tests for this innovative concept. Coastal engineering news OCEANIDE is currently finalizing studies and tests on behalf of the Languedoc-Roussillon Region on a major port development in Port-La-Nouvelle.
