Hydraulics specialist Moog Controls has recently supplied advanced hydraulic technology to Marintek, the Norwegian Marine Technology Research Institute, located in Trondheim, Norway. With marine technology advancing on an almost daily basis, there is a huge demand for model testing facilities capable of running highly accurate and reproducible tests. Marintek offers one of the biggest ocean-basin laboratories. 80 metres long, 50 metres wide and an adjustable depth of 0 to 10 metres, it recreates sea conditions using an array of flaps - two on the end and 144 single flaps along its length. In addition, the basin is eguipped with a carriage system that caters for free-running models at speeds of up to 5metre/s, at any angle to the waves.
