Artec Aqua has chosen HighComp as its subcontractor in the delivery of a new and complex fish farming facility for Sævareid Fiskeanlegg in Bjørnafjorden.
At the end of May, HighComp secured the contract to supply fish tanks for the new smolt facility being built by Sævareid Fiskeanlegg, in Bjørnafjorden. The contract itself is with Artec Aqua, who is the turn key contractor for the project.
– This is a significant contract for us at HighComp, and we’re excited to get started on the project. We’ve worked with Artec Aqua before and are grateful that they’ve chosen us as a subcontractor once again. Artec Aqua is known for their high-quality deliveries, and we see this as a major vote of confidence from them, says Fredrik Faye, VP of sales at HighComp.
– We chose HighComp because they submitted a solid proposal that lived up to our expectations. Besides delivering on quality, production and installation, they also offered highly competitive pricing, explains head of purchasing at Artec Aqua, Håvard Breen.
HighComp will supply all the 40 fish farming tanks that are to be installed as part of the expansion at Sævareid Fiskeanlegg. It’s a complex project where limited space has made one factor especially important.
– This project involves construction across multiple levels. Therefore, weight reduction is crucial. Not only for the fish farming tanks themselves in terms of the walls and base, but also regarding alternative foundation solutions, explains Faye, referring to the lightweight benefits of composite.
