To develop a high-performance vessel it is necessary to satisfy three basic requirements which must be treated jointly, focusing on the overall performance of the ship and its mission: propulsion, seakeeping and handling. Ships must have efficient propulsion, be able to overcome adverse wind and wave conditions and be seaworthy Read more…
Based on experimental studies, IPT evaluates the hydrodynamic design of offshore structures and systems, using models and tank testing, generating regular waves and statistically modeling of the sea state. The tests subject these structures to the effect of regular and irregular waves, to check the design parameters and determine the Read more…
The development of projects for civil engineering, mining and oil works requires characterization and evaluation of the behavior of soil and rock massifs at the worksite. IPT’s field activities and petrology, soil and rock laboratories qualify it to determine the engineering properties of these materials. 40% off with code The Read more…
The Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) technique is used for the installation of duct lines, eliminating the need for open surface ditches and work areas. The purpose of this technique is to reduce impacts resulting from installation in environmentally sensitive areas or socioeconomic impacts on urban areas. It is applied in Read more…
The difficulties inherent to the execution of real-scale trials have led to the use of alternative techniques to study and forecast the behavior of large works. For this purpose, physical scale models are often used to reproduce the different phenomena and typical situations occurring in geotechnical works. Using a given Read more…
go here IPT is active in the optimization of logistics systems involving ocean and river transportation, analyzing different project options, investment and operational transport costs. Performing transport simulations based on the technical characteristics of vessels, shipping routes and fleets are dimensioned, allowing for the most efficient use of available assets, Read more…
Oil and gas production operations at sea can be affected or interrupted by unfavorable wind and wave conditions. Planning of offshore operations requires a complete knowledge of the operational limitations which may cause interruptions of these activities. This analysis requires an estimate of the meteorological limits for operations based on Read more…
IPT analyzes new concepts of river vessels, propulsion systems and steering systems with a view to obtaining the best use of navigable waterways and increasing the efficiency of ports and waterway terminals. The Institute develops projects and research of navigation safety systems, aiming to prevent accidents on waterways and mitigate Read more…
