Forth operates a state-of-the-art Deep Recovery Facility (DRF) featuring a 1.2 million-litre water pool, measuring 22.5m x 10m x 6m, designed specifically for subsea research, testing, and innovation.
Our facility regularly hosts international industry collaborations, such as RESURGAM (Robotic Survey, Repair, and Agile Manufacturing), where Forth leads as Technical Manager alongside 12 European partners.
RESURGAM integrates Forth’s advanced in-water Friction Stir Welding (FSW) technology with cutting-edge robotics and Artificial Intelligence (AI), significantly transforming maritime maintenance.
This pioneering solution enables ship repairs directly underwater, eliminating the costly, resource-intensive process of dry docking. Demonstrations at our DRF showcased Forth’s technology, proving its commercial viability to partners from across Europe.
RESURGAM’s innovative approach offers substantial advantages in maritime repair, significantly reducing costs, downtime, and environmental impact.
By enabling efficient in-water repairs, Forth’s subsea solutions provide enhanced safety, reduced carbon footprints, and streamlined operations for shipyards and marine businesses worldwide.
