coastal modelling services are those that utilise numerical modelling of coastal processes normally to indicate how onshore conditions respond to conditions that approach from offshore. coastal modelling comprises two parts. the first part is to operate the model appropriately and understand its method in order to understand its limitations (it is a model and thus it inherently has limitations). the second part is to interpret modelling outputs. interpretation includes projecting outputs from its method to understand fundamentally whether the model has performed as intended. then it is an interpretation of how model outputs relate to reality which requires consideration of how reality boundary conditions differ and vary from the model.

sureside do not have in-house modelling capability. we do have capability in interpreting models having a good understanding of numerical models, hydrodynamic principles and experience in applying model outcomes to real life design scenarios. our founding director has led teams of modellers to establish an understanding of coastal processes. his direction and leadership has developed outcomes significant to design through an understanding of model limitations and appropriate application in replicating real-life situations.

coastal modelling projects delivered by sureside are presented below. click on the links to see more about those projects. projects shown in aqua pre-date sureside (referring to our founding director’s prior project experience).
