LONDON: British experts have announced the establishment of a permanent deep-water research station near Wales and the UK, called ‘Deep’, which will be completed by 2027.
It has been designed by the marine exploration company Deep and will be built in 80-meter deep water. Its total length will be 600 meters. A suitable, calm, and safe location between England and Wales has been chosen. The water here is very clean and due to its location, it will be located near many marine technology institutes. The UK’s commercial and diving industries are also located nearby.

The centerpiece of the Deep Project is the ‘Sentinel’, a capsule-like design. It can be scaled down or enlarged, changed, and restored over and over again. It may be modified depending on the individual needs of the scientists. The company has named it Sea Villages. Above all, it will be safe from sea waves and upheaval and will not harm the surrounding environment.
First, the steel infrastructure will be lowered into the water using robotic arms, which will also be assisted by 3D printing. However, there will be a place in the ocean where sunlight will continue to reach.
Living and research spaces for scientists will also be built here. It will have a capsule-like module up to 6 meters in diameter, similar to that of the Boeing 777 aircraft. Even tourists can come here.
But its main purpose is to enable scientists to conduct research easily in water like on land, which will also be an international hub.
