Workshops
Tailor-made instead of off-the-shelf: Where we work, standard equipment is generally not good enough. High pressures, large temperature differences and the uncertainties of currents and waves – our equipment needs to withstand all of this. Our in-house workshops design, build and adapt, screw and solder – to develop the right instrument for our research.
The electronics workshop
In the electronics workshop, the technicians develop electronics for research equipment that must function under very difficult environmental and operating conditions. These devices and appliances cannot be purchased. Many of the devices used by researchers at our Institute need to function when immersed in water. More...
The mechanics workshop
The technicians in the mechanics workshop ensure that the electronics are protected in the best possible way from the harsh environmental conditions in the sea. For example, they build racks, mounts, casings, battery housings, and (pressure-resistant) tanks for use in shallow water as well as for research projects in the deep sea. More...
Landerhalle
In the Landerhalle, the focus is on the use of research equipment at sea. For example, the employees build measuring equipment for the use with ROVs, they maintain the research equipment after excursions, they take care of the logistics so that the research equipment is on the ship right in time, and they regularly also go on board.
