Not only is the secure chamber physically huge with a 5m entrance, it also features reinforced flooring to handle loads up to 80 tonnes, the access road to the chamber has also been constructed to carry these heavy loads.
Mark Heaven, TRL's operations director, commented: "many visitors on the day remarked on the timely opening of the facility as it means that vehicle and large system compliance testing can be achieved without delays, following the closure of two other sites in the UK within the last 18 months.
"This is an important step for TRL Compliance: we invested the equivalent of GBP1 million in our military test services two years ago; our new Malvern site enables us to test all sorts of large military vehicles and equipment; and we are now listed in the DCSA directory as an approved supplier for EMC services.
"In the future, we plan to develop the services that we offer at Malvern, including environmental and specialist Tempest testing, continuing the traditions of technical excellence in the area, which has been responsible for the development of radar systems during World War II and more recently, border patrol imaging systems.".
