Transportation

The transportation industry sets high standards for speed, efficiency and safety as it moves people and goods across the globe. Bringing extensive enginering experience to the problem at hand, we work with industry leaders to achieve these standards by optimizing the designs of transportation vehicles and terminals.

Martec utilizes engineering simulation and modeling to perform analysis of designs, to supplement client prototype testing with computational modeling, or to support a regulatory approval process. We also develop specialized software tools to address specific client requirements.

Martec serves designers, operators, manufacturers and regulators in all aspects of the transportation industry, including:

International Shipping – We are a world leader in providing marine engineering technology and services to ship yards, ship registries, naval architects and ship designers. Our Trident suite, used by clients worldwide, is specifically designed for 3D modeling, design and analysis of ship structures. Our specialized engineering staff develops customized software for the ship classification societies, Lloyd’s Shipping and Bureau Veritas.

Ports, Harbors and Waterways – Our successful project list includes port and harbour design and development. These projects typically involve coastal engineering and engineering design associated with the development of the port facility, including piers, jetties, rubble mound revetment and scour protection.

Motor Carrier Passenger – Martec is working with Transport Canada and industry partners to improve the design of motor carrier passenger vehicles. In the first phase of the project, Martec worked as part of a team to re-engineer the construction of inter-city buses, dramatically reducing overall vehicle weight, while also enhancing safety. Engineering design issues included strength, durability, stiffness, acoustic characteristics, rollover performance, and an additional separate study into structural improvements to prevent passenger ejection during rollover accidents.
