Wave Energy Group: Fifth Year Report. Volume 2 Or 3

Abstract

In the late autumn of 1978, through a mutual arrangement made between S.H. Salter, University of Edinburgh and John Laing Ltd., a senior Civil Engineer from John Laing Ltd was attached to the Edinburgh Wave Energy Project team for a limited period. At about the same time a similar arrangement was made between S.H. Salter and Scottish Off-shore Partnership (SCOPA) whereby a design engineer from Babtie Shaw and Morton also joined the Edinburgh Device Team. Resulting from these associations, John Laing Ltd were approached by ETSU in March 1979 and invited to become integrated members of the Edinburgh Project Team and to undertake a review of the civil, mechanical and structural aspects of the Project, and SCOPA were invited to carry out a similar review in respect of electrical generation and transmission.
