Fugro launches dedicated ROV test facility in Singapore
Fugro is strengthening its ability to undertake controlled testing, verification and validation of equipment, systems and operational methodologies in-house, having recently successfully commissioned a new remotely operated vehicle (ROV) test pool in Singapore. This marks a key milestone in the company's technical capabilities, and will improve technical assurance and reduce execution risk across marine and offshore projects.
The test pool provides a controlled environment for functional testing, system integration, calibration and pre-deployment before field deployment. This enables Fugro teams to identify and resolve technical issues early, validate performance against design requirements, and optimize procedures before mobilization. By shifting critical testing activities in-house, the facility supports improved reliability, reduced offshore time and enhanced safety outcomes for clients.
“The commissioning of the ROV test pool significantly enhances our ability to technically de‑risk projects before they reach the field,” said Mark Drury, general manager, Fugro Singapore. “It allows our engineers and operators to test, integrate and validate systems under controlled conditions, ensuring equipment and workflows are fully proven and operationally ready before deployment.”
The facility underscores Fugro's ongoing investment in infrastructure and operational capability, reinforcing its commitment to technical excellence, risk reduction and the delivery of sustainable outcomes for clients across the marine and offshore sectors.
