The story

EMP Designs, electronic and industrial design specialists, has partnered with HR Wallingford to deliver a major update to its world-leading wave generation systems.

HR Wallingford has a long-standing reputation for delivering practical solutions to complex water-related challenges faced by international clients – from helping protect communities that are vulnerable to hurricanes to designing new commercial waterfronts.

Wave generation systems are not only essential for HR Wallingford’s own physical modelling laboratories but are also sold to its customers around the world.

As with many industrial systems, the wavemakers previously used complex analogue signals, so HR Wallingford sought an upgrade that would simplify the wave control system and reduce maintenance.
