Description	Different types of oil can be released in near real-life conditions in a reproducible way. During training courses, this facility can be used to run practical sessions on: spill surveys and assessment, sampling, cleaning pebbles and riprap, locating and recovering oil buried under a layer of sand, plugging outflow pipes and laying custom-made barriers. Equipment trials and demonstrations (e.g. for amphibious vehicles) can also be performed here
