A new chapter for ecoSUB Robotics in Petersfield

Our ecoSUB Robotics division has relocated to a new 8,750 sq ft, air-conditioned facility in Petersfield, Hampshire. The move brings engineering, production, research and testing together under one roof, with more room for the team and its autonomous underwater vehicle technology.

The expansion reflects the growth ecoSUB is seeing across the autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) sector, where users are looking for larger, more capable systems and the production capacity to support them.

The new facility provides:

• Dedicated engineering and production areas
• Research and testing laboratories
• Test tank facilities
• Modern office space and staff amenities

Having these activities in one location gives the team space to develop and build its systems alongside the facilities needed for research and testing. It is an important step in the continued development of ecoSUB’s autonomous technology.

In the move announcement, the team noted that unpacking, organising and fine-tuning were still under way, particularly in the production area, with work continuing towards making the new facility fully operational over the following weeks.

The Petersfield move is specific to ecoSUB Robotics. Our ecoSUB laboratory at the National Oceanography Centre in Southampton remains in place, while Planet Ocean Ltd continues to operate from its Camberley facility.

Together, these locations support the group’s work in ocean technology, from autonomous underwater systems to the instruments and application support provided by Planet Ocean. Explore ecoSUB Robotics or contact our team to discuss your requirements.

These photographs from the move show the new building, production and engineering areas, laboratory benches and office space as the team settles in.
