We are Radac, a technology leader in radar-based wave measurement. Since 1996, our Delft-based Dutch company has developed unique sensors to monitor the ocean surface.
Our wave radar operates without water contact, moving parts, or the need for calibration, making it a maintenance-free device.
Offshore operations are significantly impacted by weather conditions. Highly accurate, real-time wave data is crucial for determining optimal weather windows during which operations can be performed safely. Waves, in particular, contribute to project downtime, as work can only proceed within specific wave conditions for safety reasons. While wave measurements are often taken from transformer platforms or turbines, Radac also provides radars for vessels such as pipelaying, survey, and construction ships.
With the growing size and capacity of offshore wind turbines, stress and fatigue analysis are becoming increasingly important. Accurate wave data at the turbine’s location is invaluable for conducting these lifetime analyses aswell.
Our flagship product, the WaveGuide 5 Direction, is a truly unique system—Radac is the only company offering this technology. This directional wave radar precisely measures wave direction, height, period, and tide, while also presenting the 2D-spectrum. It’s available in a motion-compensated (roll-pitch-heave) version, making it suitable for floating wind turbines. At Radac, innovation and high quality are in our DNA.
