Pool pit excavation completed ahead of schedule
26 January 2024
Andfjord Salmon is pleased to announce that the excavation of the next 12 pool pits at Kvalnes, Andøya, has been completed one quarter ahead of schedule.
“This is a highly encouraging start that de-risks the build-out considerably by creating flexibility for the technical workstreams that are ahead of us.” says Martin Rasmussen, CEO of Andfjord Salmon.
Andjord Salmon has now excavated two rows of pools, which will house six pools each – twelve in total – equal to a total production capacity of 19,000 tonnes HOG.
In this initial build-out phase, the company will complete four concrete pools, which brings total production capacity to 8,000 tonnes HOG at Kvalnes.
“We have planned to initiate concrete works on the pools during the first quarter, which is ahead of schedule,” adds Martin Rasmussen.
The other two ongoing workstreams – the harbour area and waterways – are also progressing well.
