Construction is underway on the new Beaufort Laboratory which will house University College Cork’s new National Ocean Test Facility.  Edinburgh Designs is supplying 16 2.5m flap wavemakers for a deep water flume, along with a hydraulically driven movable floor, for the main deep water basin.  A coastal flume will be fitted with 8 0.7m flap wakemakers, also supplied by Edinburgh Designs.  The third basin, the Ocean Wave Basin, will have wave generation provided by the relocated 40 x 0.7m flap wavemaker originally built by Edinburgh Designs for UCC in 1993 .
