Designed and detailed by Reid Jones Partnership and constructed within a quarry at Appley Bridge, the 25m deep test tank is accessed from a new 3 storey building which will house diving test equipment.
The diving test tank was constructed out of 4.60m diameter steel caisson rings. The top section has been altered to accommodate a rectangular access tank and top splash plate.
The new section of access tank is supported at the top quarry level by a series of columns sat on cantilevered steel ground beams.
