Marine Aviation Survival Training (MAST) Facility

• Marine Aviation Survival Training (MAST) Facility 

  This revolutionary training facility, designed for use in water survival and underwater egress training for the Oil & Gas, aviation, and marine sectors, is anchored by a (25m length X 14m width X 5m depth) pool with extreme environmental effects. The MAST facility is able to create the ultimate practical training experience in simulated real-world conditions for personnel working in harsh or high-risk conditions.

•  

This facility will meet SSTL’s ongoing requirements for size (pool area available for multiple training programs), practical training elements, and current training technology (equipment, best practices). This new facility will allow us to further our contribution to R&D with the use of environmental effects that simulate real-world conditions.

• Steel-framed, freezer panel cladded building conducive to cold weather training
• Inside building height of 50’
• 25m X 14m X 5m uniform depth (pool) with 1m freeboard
• 7M pool aprons with available pool deck space for staging equipment 448 sq. metres
  24 trainee capacity classrooms (2) and conference room (each 20’ x 24’) with the latest Smartboard 70” touchscreen technology
• Change rooms / washrooms

Wave Generating Hardware

The Tempest range of wave generators are designed to produce a range of very realistic sea conditions within a controlled environment.

The equipment has been refined over the last 25 years to give unrivalled performance both in terms of wave characteristics and long term reliability.

The Tempest wave generator is capable of producing waves anywhere from 500mm to 1800mm high all controlled from a remote panel allowing the operator to vary the wave height or formation at the flick of a switch.

In addition we have designed special wave absorption chambers that ensure accurate repeatability of any wave formation, thus making any survival training exercises the same for every group of users.
