Our facilities are located in the world-class marine facility, the Marine Building at Plymouth University which provides some of the best research and testing facilities in the country. Opened by HRH Duke of Edinburgh in October 2012, the Coastal, Ocean And Sediment Transport (COAST) laboratory provides physical model testing with combined waves, currents and wind, offered at appropriate scales for device testing, array testing, environmental modelling and coastal engineering.
This is a flexible facility with the capability to generate short and long-crested waves in combination with currents at any relative direction, sediment dynamics, tidal effects and wind.
The Marine Building is home to a host of dedicated scientific, engineering and technical staff who are very experienced at supporting commercial projects. For further information please email coastlab@plymouth.ac.uk
