About this project
BatTRI Hub 2.0 delivers an advanced battery fabrication, testing and diagnosis facility expanding the capabilities of the Deakin University’s Geelong Waurn Ponds battery engineering facility, BatTRI Hub 1.0. It serves a critical role in the translation of research into pre-commercial scale prototyping and testing.
Designed as a dry room constructed as a ‘box within a box’, in a refurbished warehouse shell close to Deakin University’s Burwood campus, the facility was delivered to high technical specifications, including a semi-automated pilot production line comprised of three separate spaces – coding, pressing and assembly – as well as equipment operating in a temperature controlled dry room atmosphere.
It achieves regulatory and statutory compliance with relevant environmental, health and safety standards including hazardous materials and chemicals storage and includes open plan office space visually connected to the laboratory space.
In association with L2D.
