Add to calThe Chapel Theatre, Penryn Campus
Peter Hodkin, Project Director
The Blue Abyss will be an exceptional research centre, based in Cornwall at the Aerohub Enterprise Zone near to Newquay Airport. It is planned to start construction soon. The centre will become a considerable facility for research, training and development of work in extreme environments including aerospace, astronaut, offshore energy, underwater robotics, life sciences, defence, and the space sectors.
The Blue Abyss will incorporate a deep-water pool 40m x 50m, depth 50m (164 feet) at its centre, plus all associated engineering facilities to allow simulation working in environments such as space or deep underwater.
The lecture will introduce aspects of the design and construction for this major piece of infrastructure. See blueabyss.uk/ for details.
