I gather that the building contains pressurised tanks up to 15 metres deep for testing deep sea equipment at pressures up to 700 bar, or 691 atmospheres. The tanks were excavated deep down into the granite bedrock. See https://www.balmoraloffshore.com/discover/balmoral-subsea-test-centre for more fascinating facts.
