Validating Subsystems and Assemblies with Confidence
At Ausco, we operate large-capacity subsea test tanks as part of our in-house validation facilities. While not manufactured by us, these tanks are essential tools for testing and qualifying subsea subsystems and assemblies under controlled conditions before deployment.
Tank Capacities
- 5,000L test tank: Ideal for component, subsystem, and mid-scale assembly testing.
- 16,500L test tank: Suited for larger subsystems, full assemblies, and endurance validation of complete systems.
Key Features
- Subsystem and assembly validation: Designed for full immersion testing to verify integrity, buoyancy, and performance.
- Versatile testing: Supports validation of ROVs, AUVs, control pods, buoyancy modules, connectors, housings, and integrated subsea systems.
- Monitoring and inspection: Compatible with digital data logging, visual monitoring, and sensor integration for comprehensive analysis.
- Controlled environment: Provides safe, repeatable test conditions that replicate operational scenarios.
Applications
Validation of ROV and AUV platforms and subsystems
Endurance and reliability testing of subsea systems
Verification of buoyancy, housings, connectors, and control modules
Research, development, and qualification of new subsea technologies
Why it matters
Reduced Risk
Ensures ROVs, AUVs, subsystems, and assemblies perform as designed before real-world deployment.
Complementary Capability
Extends beyond our hydrostatic chambers to deliver both component-level and large-scale system validation.
Sovereign Capability Support
Australian-operated facilities that strengthen national supply chains in defence, energy, and maritime industries.
Generational Expertise
Backed by over 75 years of engineering and testing heritage.
