Introducing Marineforce: Advanced Marine Barrier Force Calculation Software
Marineforce Software

Marineforce, our proprietary and advanced marine barrier force calculation software, is available as a service to our valued clients. This innovative software was developed out of frustration with the lack of non-linear marine force calculation tools. Existing solutions in the market typically consider loads on static, undeformed barriers, leading to higher force estimations than those encountered in real-world conditions.

WHY MARINEFORCE?

We aimed to create a more accurate tool for calculating forces on marine barriers, such as silt curtains, assisting you in better specifying and selecting the correct model, layout and anchoring configuration for your unique environmental conditions.

Marineforce uses second-order theory to calculate forces on marine barriers, making it a non-linear calculation and resulting in improved accuracy.

HOW MARINEFORCE WORKS

Input environmental data

The interface allows users to input environmental data, including but not limited to:

  • Water depth at LAT/HAT
  • Current speed
  • Wave height
  • Wave period
  • Wind speed

Outputs

Based on the input data, Marineforce produces two main outputs:

1. Graphs: Three detailed graphs illustrate the behavior of the marine barrier under specific environmental conditions. The first graph is a cross-section view of the marine barrier, showing its effective depth. The second graph provides a top view, displaying the shape of the barrier. The third graph is a cross-section of the typical anchoring configuration, with relevant forces marked.

2. Calculation report: This report verifies whether the marine barrier can withstand the forces from the environmental loads, ensuring optimal performance and safety.

ADDITIONAL FORCE CALCULATION TOOLS

In addition to Marineforce, we offer other specialized calculators for different needs:

Geoforce: Facilitates the assessment of feasibility and stability of geosynthetic container (GSC) structures.

Moorforce: Helps understand the forces placed on marine buoys and mooring systems.

Boomforce: To enable precise simulation of a structure’s response to factors like waves, wind, watercraft impact and similar environmental situations.

IN SUMMARY

Marineforce represents a significant advancement in marine barrier technology, offering precise, non-linear force calculations to enhance the performance and reliability of marine barriers. By providing more accurate force estimations, Marineforce helps you select the best solutions for your specific environmental conditions, ensuring optimal barrier performance and safety.
