Presenting a roof structure for fish farming tanks that will provide better working conditions for your employees, as well as better health for the fish.
With our expertise in engineering and production of large composite constructions for aquaculture, we have now developed a new roof structure for fish farming tanks. The roof provides a better working environment for employees, as well as giving you the opportunity to better regulate the environment inside the tank – which improves the fish health.
– Employees working on outside fish farming tanks can periodically be working in heavy snow or rain and in temperatures down to -30 degrees Celsius. By installing a roof, you will give the farmers better working environment, explains Fredrik Faye of HighComp and continues: – The roof will also prevent unwanted particles carried by the wind from entering the tanks. Therefor the fish are more protected against viruses, and you can better control their pace of growth.
The roof structures are produced with the same high-quality GRP (Glassfibre Reinforced Polyester) material as HighComps well-known fish farming tanks and bridges. The roofs are designed by our inhouse engineering department, which is Norway’s largest – specializing in fiberglass.
Following our collaboration with Icelandic Trefjar, we are combining our technical expertise with Trefjars local knowledge and understanding of the Icelandic climate to make roof structures specially adapted to withstand though environmental loadcases. Making our roofs a great choice for the aquaculture industry in Iceland, or anywhere else that experiences harsh weather conditions.
– If there were to come great amounts of heavy, wet snow, the roofs will endure. The structures are built to tolerate storms up to hurricane strength, and are also dimensioned to endure earthquakes, informs Faye.

The roof structures for fish tanks are light weight which makes them easy to transport and install. That saves you both time and money.
– Its weight-to-strength ratio provides lower construction and development costs and will shorten the time frame of the construction phase. Because the material is non-corrosive and virtually maintenance-free, it will last 50+ years, says Faye.
Similar to HighComps other products, the roof structure for fish farming tanks are pre-produced in our factories and easy to assemble, making the construction time on-site minimal.
To accommodate our customers needs the roofs comes in different varieties. We have roofs for singular and double tanks. The roof structures can be placed on the majority of fish tanks on the market, whether the tank is from HighComp, Trefjar or another supplier.
In addition to the variety in size and all the other advantages that follow our roofs, HighComp bridges can be installed inside the roof structure for a more efficient work enviorment.
– The installation of walk-way bridges, both across the tanks and around them, makes it easier to control, oversee and complete the day-to-day tasks that need to be done, says Faye.
– We call our closed designed walk-way-bridges for “LESS-STRESS™” because of the stress reduced advantages. Clients are reporting that reduced noice and -visual impact from people crossing the fish tanks – results in a less stressed fish. The closed design also reduces any dirt/bacteria ending up in the fish-tank, says Faye.
Not only are the roof structures great for improving the environment inside the fish farming tanks, but by choosing our solution you are also choosing an ecofriendly alternative.
The characteristics of composite gives HighComps products a low co2 footprint. The products long durability compared to other materials.
