Composite Engineering & Design Expertise for Land-based Aquaculture

HighComp combines deep composite engineering expertise with practical aquaculture infrastructure experience. Our solutions are engineered, not molded — tailored for long-term durability, structural integrity and predictable performance in land-based aquaculture systems.

We provide optimized standard configurations with documented performance, and the flexibility to customize every delivery to meet project-specific requirements.

Why Composite Engineering Matters in Aquaculture

Composite GRP is not a commodity material — it is an engineered structural solution. HighComp applies advanced design methods to ensure that every component performs reliably under real operating conditions.

Composite engineering at HighComp integrates:

  • Structural analysis and load modeling
  • Material configuration and laminate design
  • Integration with process systems (RAS, filtration, degassing)
  • Design for fabrication and installation

Optimized Standard Solutions

HighComp has developed a library of optimized standard solutions for key infrastructure elements, including fish farming tanks, water treatment tanks, bridges and roof systems.

These standards are not generic — they are:

  • Engineered from historical performance data
  • Validated across multiple operational facilities
  • Designed for efficient fabrication and installation

Opting for standard solutions reduces project risk and lead time, while delivering predictable performance.

Custom Tailored Projects

For projects with unique requirements, site constraints or advanced process specifications, HighComp offers full customization.

We tailor:

  • Geometry and dimensions
  • Strength and load parameters
  • Integration with third-party RAS or process equipment
  • Local regulatory compliance requirements

Custom engineering ensures that every project is optimized for performance, cost, and schedule.

Engineering Methods and Tools

HighComp is part of CSUB Group — the world’s largest EPCI supplier of composite structures.

With Norway’s largest engineering department dedicated to composite design, we apply advanced FEM and CFD analysis to every project. Structural methods developed for offshore and subsea applications are adapted specifically for land-based aquaculture infrastructure.

Structural Analysis
Comprehensive load and stress assessment to ensure safety and performance.

FEM (Finite Element Modeling)
Detailed simulations of material behavior under operational and environmental loads.

CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics)
Flow and system modeling for optimized water treatment and circulation.

Integrated with the EPCI Delivery Model

Engineering is not a standalone service — it is the foundation of HighComp’s turnkey EPCI delivery.

Our engineers work with:

  • Procurement teams to align design with materials and supply chain
  • Fabrication teams to ensure manufacturability
  • Installation teams to reduce risk and schedule variability

This cross-disciplinary integration reduces unforeseen issues and supports predictable project outcomes.

Documentation, Compliance & Certification

HighComp provides robust technical documentation packages for every project:

  • Engineering reports and calculations
  • Design drawings and specifications
  • Material certificates
  • Project- specific compliance documentation

Deliveries include project-based certification to support tender requirements and regulatory compliance
