DEEP Campus is a unique and comprehensive facility featuring cutting-edge technology and a multi-disciplinary team capable of delivering the entire lifecycle of subsea product development and personnel training.

DEEP Campus streamlines subsea product development. By consolidating the entire process within a singular campus, complete with an 80-metre deep controlled water space, we are freed from the traditional limitations of subsea product development cycles. No longer constrained by the costs and risks inherent to Dive Support Vessels, weather-related setbacks and logistics between disparate facilities, Campus dramatically increases efficiency.

DEEP’s Advanced Manufacturing capabilities include DED laser systems, WAAM technology, and advanced 3D printing. Our state-of-the-art assembly facilities provide the perfect environment for seamlessly integrating components into high-performance subsea products. DEEP’s Research team stands ready to tackle the most intricate scientific challenges, from rigorous materials testing to heavyweight research endeavours.

The Ultimate R&D Facility

R&D Campus

DEEP Campus rests on the southern edge of the Wye Valley, close to the point where England and Wales meet. The 50-acre site has as its focal point an 80-metre deep, clear and controlled expanse of water affectionately known to the DEEP staff as Loch Lyr.

Combining in-water infrastructure, on-water equipment and shore-side facilities, DEEP Campus is the world’s most capable facility from which to design, manufacture, assemble, trial and test subsea equipment, and to train the people who will use it.
