Western Norway Smolt Facility Upgrade

Signert kontrakt for smoltbygg

Helgesen Tekniske Bygg AS (HTB), part of AF Gruppen, has signed a turnkey contract valued at approximately NOK 160 million (excluding VAT) with a fish farming company to upgrade a smolt facility in Western Norway. The contract covers the demolition of the existing hall and construction of a new unit for smolt growth and hatching, along with a separate building dedicated to feed storage.

Utviklet avansert teknisk anlegg

The project scope includes not only the construction of new buildings but also the installation of advanced technical systems for smolt production and hatching, as well as an energy system designed for initial feeding. HTB developed the project over nearly two years in close collaboration with the client and various subcontractors, ensuring a solid foundation for the build phase.

Riving igangsatt. Byggstart 2025

Demolition of the current structures has already begun, with major construction work set to start in August 2025. The upgrade is expected to be completed by the second quarter of 2026, which will enhance the facility's capacity and efficiency for smolt production, benefiting the fish farming operations in the region.
