Eramurra Solar Salt Project: Metocean Data Collection Programme

 

Project Eramurra Solar Salt Project: Metocean Data Collection Programme
Date  2020-2021
About the Project O2 Metocean conducted an oceanographic measuring programme for Leichhardt Industrials to gather wave and current data for the design and operational planning of a future salt export port at Cape Preston East, Western Australia.

The program was designed to:

  • Optimize hydrodynamic and wave model validation 
  • Capture undisturbed waves and currents in 20m water depth at 23km offshore 
  • Measure directional wave spectra of an offshore site to support engineering design 
  • Measure individual wave statistics to support transhipment activities
  • Establish alongshore variability

Prioritise measurements of the sea state and rapid change in current conditions rather than swells, which are known to have low significant wave heights in the region.
