From the first conversation to daily operation.

We start by listening to your plans and your problems. Then planning, project delivery, training and operations support, from a team that also farms its own fish in Måløy.

Planning

It starts with a conversation.

Most projects begin informally: a site visit, a talk with the site manager about plans and problems. From there, we plan everything related to land-based facilities: replacing old tanks, upgrades, extensions, staged development and complete new facilities.

Facility planning

Your site, your plans.

Site, water and biology assessed against your production plan, with layouts, capacities and a realistic timeline. Our own planning model finds the layout and phase plan that produces the most per cubic metre built.

Independent technical advisory

A second opinion you can rely on.

Technical feasibility studies and project assistance, also where Ontec is not the facility supplier.

  • For investors and financial institutions assessing a land-based project
  • For project owners who need technical strength in-house to manage their facility suppliers

Project delivery

One partner, from feasibility to first harvest.

Ontec acts as system integrator, with the same engineers from first sketch to handover.

  1. 01FeasibilitySite, water and biology assessed against your production plan.
  2. 02DesignTank layout, water treatment and control, engineered for your site.
  3. 03BuildPre-designed units, staged construction, one consortium.
  4. 04CommissionStart-up with our team on site until the system is stable.
  5. 05Train and supportOperators trained at Ontec Academy; support after handover.
Project structure

Clear contracts, lower risk.

Ontec organises the project under a strategic structure, with separate turnkey contracts for building and civil works and for the process plant.

Consortium

Specialists behind one contract.

Ontec coordinates partners for every part of the build and for the fish, chosen for each project and market.

Training · Ontec Academy

Operators ready from day one.

Key operators train at Ontec Academy on real tanks in a working facility, so they hit the ground running in their own: practical operation, maintenance, critical operations and industrial production of salmon.
