Basic and Detailed Engineering

Engineering services provided by APT for a typical aquaculture project.

The scope of work will be adapted on a case by case basis, to suit each individual
project, according to site conditions, project scale and the design requirements. The
total scope of the engineering work can be done by APT alone, or in cooperation with
a local engineering company, which will operate under the supervision of APT, and
will carry out part of the scope of work, as shall be agreed.
Engineering services are provided by our affiliated company "PAZ" Engineering and
Management (1980) Ltd.

Basic engineering for the implementation of an aquaculture project includes:

Layout - Review of several layout alternatives of main production facilities. Detailed
layout of selected, most suitable, alternative.
Flow scheme - Quantitative and qualitative engineering analysis of the water
supply, drainage system and re-circulation water system.
Project development - Flow sheet showing the step by step project development in
stages.
Ponds - Specifications and detailed design of typical ponds for fish and Shrimp (the
project may include 3-5 types of typical ponds, for the various production phases).
Main water intakes - Specifications and design of main water intakes (from sea,
estuary, canal or river).
Water supply and drainage - Detailed design of the water systems and its various
structures, adapted to the site topography, and including flow diagrams of the water
supply and drainage systems.
Earthmoving - Guidelines for earthworks, computerized optimization of ‘cut and fill’
calculations.
Tender for earthworks - List of items to be included in the tender for earthworks.
Pond inlet and outlet - Specifications and design of inlet and outlet structures.
Concrete works - Specifications and Guidelines for all concrete works, wherever
applicable.
Structural works - Guidelines for structural works, wherever applicable.
