The Leask Marine team is advising developers within and looking at Wales on their designs; with ease of installation, operations and maintenance at the forefront.
Here are some of the Welsh based wave & tidal renewables projects Leask Marine Ltd. has delivered so far:
Case Studies
-
Leask Marine were awarded the contract by Marine Power Systems, to deliver marine operations of their ¼ scale ‘Wavesub’ device in December 2018.
Leask Marine collected the device from its fabrication yard, undertook tow and dip testing within the Milford Haven Waterway, before transiting the device to be deployed at Fabtest, Falmouth.
Works were undertaken by Leask in installing the mooring points for the device at the Fabtest site, as well as undertaking its connection to mooring since affixed.
Leask Marine were identified as the most appropriate delivery contractor for these works, due to the innovative design of the ‘Wavesub’ and its moorings. Leask was selected due to extensive previous experience within this sector, having been key to over 23 of the major marine renewable device deployments in the UK. Leask’s expertise in terms of engineering advisory capacity, twinned with their enthusiasm to be involved in this project from its initial stages through to commercial array cemented the partnership.

Leask Marine has recently been awarded management of the deployment phase of Bombora Wavepower’s 1.5MW mWave wave energy converter project.
“The Leask Marine team are delighted to be supporting the Bombora wave energy project. Having previously worked on 60 renewable developer projects, we will be able to draw on our extensive experience to ensure a successful project with Bombora. Exciting times ahead” said Oliver Bethwaite, Leask Marine Operations Manager.
