Edinburgh Designs have successfully installed eight paddles at a new towing tank at the Gdansk University of Technology, Poland.

The tank has been featured in the Poland at Sea magazine.

Edinburgh Designs equipment forms the centerpiece of the new state-of-the-art maritime facility at University College Cork’s Beaufort Building. Edinburgh Designs have supplied 16 x 2.5m flap wavemakers for a deep water flume, along with a hydraulic movable floor.  A coastal flume has been fitted with 8  x 0.7m flap wavemakers in a movable module which allows tank water depth to be varied.  The third basin, the Ocean Wave Basin, will have wave generation provided by by the relocated 40 x 0.7m flap wavemaker originally built by Edinburgh Designs for UCC in 1993.

The building situated in Ringaskiddy, Co Cork and was officially opened by Taoiseach, Enda Kenny.

The facility was featured in the Irish Times and the Irish Examiner.

The Flowave tank has been featured in a promotional video by ABB motion control.

ABBs drives were utilised throughout the facility and their motors power each of the 168 wave paddles.

Edinburgh Designs have installed six pistons into a new coastal research basin at the University of Rijeka in Croatia.

Edinburgh Designs have successfully fitted new wavemakers at the Davidson Laboratory at the Stevens Institute in Hoboken, New Jersey.

The six independent, absorbing paddles are a big step up from the ancient, hydraulic flap that was used previously .
