Oceanographic & Environmental Consulting
AXYS Technologies Inc. (AXYS) has within its rank a core of
personnel experienced in the design, mobilization, collection
and analysis of physical oceanographic data. Typical studies
include (but are not limited to) the following classes of programs:
Wave Climate Studies
AXYS Technologies Inc. (AXYS) is a world leader in the collection and analysis of wave
climate data. Our staff can generate comprehensive data/analytical
reports on any data set collected for most applications. Personnel
on staff have been active in this work since the mid 1970's and
have participated in research programs, wave climate monitoring
for regulatory purposes, ship trials, and port developments/operations. We maintain an extensive lease inventory of wave measuring
buoys and pressure sensors, and have the facilities to calibrate
the instruments.
Coastal Erosion
This type of program makes use of our in-house wave climate capabilities
in conjunction with other measured parameters such as current
speed and direction, turbidity, tidal fluctuations, and sediment
transport. For these studies we usually retain the services
of an associate Coastal Geomorphologist to complement our expertise.
Marine Outfall Studies
The collection and analysis of ocean current, tidal, and water
structure data is a required part of any program designing
or modifying marine effluent outfalls. We have participated
in hundreds of studies domestically and internationally with
programs ranging in value from $2,000-$1,000,000. Our data
is readily imported into most approved proven plume trajectory
and fate models (i.e. US EPA and US Army Corp of Engineer algorithms).
AXYS has typically worked with the design consultant engineers
who use this data for their design models.
Port Studies
The construction of any in-water or shore-based structures requires
knowledge of the physical processes that are likely to have
an impact upon them. AXYS Technologies Inc. has assisted many coastal/civil engineering
companies in mounting field programs to collect the appropriate
types and amount of data necessary for meeting structural design
criteria.
Oceanographic Equipment Lease Pool
We also offer an extensive inventory of oceanographic instrumentation
and accessories available for short
or long term lease.
