The scope of the contract includes the delivery of a new unit for smolt growth and hatching. The existing hall will be demolished and replaced with a new facility. A separate building for feed storage, will also be constructed. In addition to construction works, the project includes the installation of new technical systems for smolt production and hatching, as well as an energy system for initial feeding.

Over the course of nearly two years leading up to the contract, HTB has developed the project in close collaboration with the client and subcontractors.

“We’ve had an excellent working relationship with the client throughout the development phase. Now we’re looking forward to getting started with construction,” says Ronny Laastad, Managing Director of HTB.

Demolition of the existing structures is already underway, with construction scheduled to begin in August 2025. The project is expected to be completed in the second quarter of 2026.
