Large scale, submersible, prototype marine component load tested to over 700 tonnes. Our team worked with Irish and French engineers to successfully deliver this project. Our dedicated team relocated to Northern France for the project duration.
Working with multiple stakeholders Accolade Measurement Ltd developed and constructed a bespoke, large capacity test rig to apply a 700-tonne tensile load to prototype marine components. It was important to monitor the components’ behaviour while under load. High precision spot weldable strain gauges were used with a specialist data logger to enable high frequency strain and temperature measurement.
