Testing under real-life conditions
To understand exactly how our products perform, we put them to the test in some of the toughest conditions on earth. In 2010, Shockwave president David Smith completed an 8000-mile journey using Shockwave technology. He took an 11-meter open-hull RIB from St. John’s, Newfoundland, over Canada through the Arctic Circle and the Northwest Passage, around Alaska and back home to Victoria, BC.
Shockwave Product testing
Computer Design & Structural Verification
We test all of our products extensively on and off the water, using the latest software, equipment and test boats. Moreover, we use custom built equipment to tune and test our products for the specific needs of the marine environment. While we test and measure our components and seats in specific environments, we also use a number of other in-house analytic and testing methods to ensure absolute safety and ultimate performance.
- We perform “Drop Testing” in-house to verify component strength and suspension performance
- We use SolidWorks Simulation software to analyze millions of variables that may cause stress on the components and parts of all our products
- All major components are broken down for validation and tested individually
- All of our products are tested on and off the water
