South Tyneside Marine College

I was just doing a little bit of research to see if I could find out my previous idea to provide you with a bit more detail of what I actually meant and this is what I found:

Environmental Pool

Our 18 metre x 10 metre, 4 metre deep environmental pool is used for survival training. It is equipped with a variable wave pattern generator, wind, rain, light and sound effects.

The following are located within the pool area:

• 8 seater helicopter escape module, capable of being used to simulate dry, wet and capsize situations
• Helicopter winching arrangements
• Davit-launched liferaft equipment
• A range of marine and aviation liferafts
• Survival suits, lifejackets and associated survival equipment
• Indoor offshore wind turbine transfer simulator
