Good for you bro and good luck to you. I like to think of the board as a family with different posters playing their role. I'm the 'gut' type. The shoot from the hip on instinct so take this with that grain of salt.

I'm sure these things are tested and built to with stand above average waves but, just like anything 'acts of God' are just that and will destroy this just like it would anything else. I don't think you can get accolades for designing things that a rain storm would destroy. But I think it important to know that it is cheaper to build/rebuild than other technologies out there. GLTA

I believe there are safeguards in place that help protect the equipment. Most of the unit is on land to begin with. I think I remember reading that the rest can be removed easily, and mechanically, in the event of damaging weather

Maybe they can be disassembled and stored when a storm is coming.

Hi Brad! I think there is no stopping the storms from destroying WERPO's deployments in very rough seas.

However, if you look at the locations, countries and coastlines where WERPO is selling their solution, you'll notice that it resembles Israel's Jaffa Port in most cases.

WERPO's port based solution is designed for calmer seas with relatively low variance with regards to changes in waves, weather, tide levels and sea forces. I think that when governments sign up for WERPO their engineers will survey multiple locations and perform the research to decide on the optimal location based on sea/weather conditions and accessibility.

WERPO also has a sea based solution that is not attached to land. This was described in a few articles.

Even with all the research I don't think they'll beat Mother Nature in many cases. But they did state that maintenance, labor, and replacement parts weren't terribly expensive and could be handled by locally trained workers.

Also if something breaks that may mean more money for WERPO :)
