Spadeadam Research and Development carries out rarely available trials and courses in a controlled and secure ‘real life’ environment. Large scale test facilities include multiple test pads, vessels and demonstration areas, which can be tailored to meet specific customer requirements and support a unique range of test scenarios for components, products, techniques, and processes from design through to analysis and recommendations. Det Norske Veritas (DNV) operate the test facilities and associated activities.

This will be a unique NCA visit with demonstrations of the explosion chamber, a large jet fire, and a mis-aligned pipe flange. There will also be a welcome with refreshments, two talks, and lunch.

Due to the nature of the establishment and the demonstrations, there are security and safety requirements. We need to register all attendees at least two weeks before our visit. Photo identification must be presented at the RAF security gate. You will need to be at the gate before 10:00 as 15-30 minutes need to be allowed for everyone to enter.

UK nationals can present their passport or driving licence with photograph. Other nationals can only present their passports. Detailed instructions on access, security and safety will be sent when provisionally registering. No payment is required. DNV will kindly provide refreshments, lunch and on-site transport.
