Research and development
Specialist services at height.
A distinctive environment for product testing, access training and media projects that need more than a conventional venue.
A flexible facility
Built around the requirements of your project.
The tower's height, four lift shafts and specialist access systems make it a valuable setting for product development, prototype testing, access training and media work.
It is also home to Aliaxis UK's Training and Research Centre, supporting innovation and practical training in high-rise drainage, waste and ventilation systems.
Every project is different. We'll work with you to understand the practical requirements and identify the right part of the facility.
