Outbuilding to Rear of Wallace Building – Aquatic Research Laboratory Specialist Fit Out Works

Descriptions

The new centre will serve as a technological spring board and exemplar of integrated multi-tropicaquaculture (IMTA), thereby helping to increase sustainable finfish production, and opening new marketshrough the production of organic fish and high value micro-algae. Capitalizing on the University’sknow-how and existing facilities at Swansea-CSAR, we propose to use the waste from farmed fish to growmicro-algae which will in turn purify the water. IMTA is a science-driven sector that specifically targets thecircular economy and represents an area where Wales can expand its Aquaculture potential and increase itsfood security through innovation and collaboration.The new facility will serve as a test bed for commercial product development. It will deliver innovativesolutions to economic barriers that currently hamper the development of multi-trophic aquaculture in Walesand the UK. The project will blend tried and tested technologies with innovation by incorporatingmicro-algal production into aquaculture systems to produce high value products.Further information is available within the tender documents.NOTE: The authority is using eTenderwales to carry out this procurement process.
