Flowave TT will welcome the public into their wave and tidal research facility for the first time. There will be a series of six visit opportunities during the annual ‘Doors Open Day’ day event on Saturday 28th September.
Each tour will comprise a short presentation on the design, construction and operation of the test facility, as well as the opportunity to see the test tank for real. Places on each tour are limited and should be booked in advance through EventBrite at this link: https://edinburgh-university-210.eventbrite.co.uk .
Since the test facility is still officially classified as a construction site, children under the age of 16 are not allowed to enter. For DOD 2014 facility will no longer be a construction site and will welcome children at that time.
Flowave TT Ltd is a 100% owned subsidiary company of the University of Edinburgh, and through working closely with the Institute for Energy Systems, will rapidly become an internationally recognised expert in marine energy device testing and evaluation including array deployment, with its unique All-Waters Combined Current and Wave Test Facility in Edinburgh.
