Research and Experimental Facilities

The GMA owns and operates 8 Recirculation Systems which are installed in two areas with approx. 500m² each.
Each system operates on its own with a water treatment and heating/cooling facility. Regulation of the facility is centerally operated using an innovative system of ground based probes. Compressed air is also supplied using a centralised system.
