Company Background

GOE was formed in 2005 to develop and commercialise wave energy technology.

The company was a spin off from an engineering design consultancy firm with 20 + years experience in structural and mechanical design for the offshore oil and gas industry. The company built up extensive experience of the design of large moving structures working in the marine environment such as Riser Elevators for use on the pipe deck of offshore oil rigs. This work was certified by DNV or ABS. Another line of work was the development of Motion Simulators for training of personnel. This built on the experience of large moving structures to now also contain personnel, and the utilization of complex control systems.

This experience of working with complex structures, demanding customers and high standards of certification will serve GOE well in it’s development of Wave Treader and future WEC devices.
