In 2022, Andfjord Salmon AS, a Norwegian fish farming company, had an ambition to create a sustainable and fish-friendly onshore facility – with the smallest possible environmental footprint.

The facility’s patented design is based on a seawater flow-through system, combining the best from both traditional ocean net-pens and land-based salmon farming. Since the onshore pools lie below sea level, Andfjord Salmon’s flow-through technology consumes a minimal amount of energy and the operating costs are relatively low. In the pools, the salmon also have plenty of space and pure, oxygen-rich water ensuring optimal growth conditions for salmon. GF Uponor supplied the complete intake and outfall pipeline systems for the onshore pool. GF Uponor has long experience in industrial solutions. We have supplied intake and outfall pipelines to customers around the world, but this was our first solution for a land-based fish farm.
