The subsea test centre is used mostly for in-house buoyancy testing, hyperbaric/ hydrostatic testing to determine uplift, water ingress, buoyancy loss, compression, creep and collapse also for further research and development purposes.
However the facilities advanced high pressure testing systems are used by external organisations involved in the offshore, oil and gas, pipeline, drilling decommissioning and oceanographic industries as well as military defence and academia.
