The facility can simulate water depths of up to 3500 metres and pressure at up to 350 bars.
It will use a tank 3.5 metres deep and 1.4 metres wide and just the lid of the tank will be exposed to pressure comparable to 8000 tonnes, Roxar said.
Roxar said the new unit will enable it to streamline the manufacturing and production process as well as rigorously test and research its subsea portfolio within a realistic subsea environment.
