Product development and structural analysisOur technical department take advantage of new technology for product development and structural calculation. Advanced FEM soft ware for modelling of complex structures is used in our design and this is combined with comprehensive testing of material samples to achive optimal design. We also cooperate with well-known R&D institutions and other academic communities to seek advice when needed to assure high quality of our products. If required, we also provide calculations and drawings of concrete slabs or similar.

AssemblyWe have our own team of experienced fitters which do the erection and polymer work on site. Our tanks are element based enabling efficient transport and ensure accessibility wherever our customers site is. We assemble and complete the installation of the tank on site.

ConsultingWe are dedicated to developing solutions that are tailored to the individual clients’ business needs. So, do not hesitate to contact us to address your need.

ProductionIn our factory we have four diff erent production lines: spray up, vacuum molding, hand lamination and metal works. In vacuum molding we manu facture larger GRP elements while the smaller ones are manu factured mostly through spray up processes. Smaller tanks in sizes up to approx. 200 m3 will normally be assembled and outfi tt ed at the factory. Our metal workshop makes customized components and parts in stainless steel, galvanized steel and aluminum. We also make our own molds for GRP elements in-house.

Your total supplier – From basic design to completed tank erection on site

All our tanks are designed by our in-house engineers with solid knowledge and experience of Glass Reinforced Plastics (GRP). We use state of the art 3D based FEM-analysis tools for structural analysis of our constructions, and we design according to international standards like “NS-EN 13121 GRP tanks and containers”.

Our Project Managers follow the projects from the design to fi nal assembly. Through the entire process we focus on close dialogue with our customer and their construction manager on site for optimal progress.

Aquaculture

With its smooth hygienic surface, Brimers tanks for

land-based aquaculture have become the obvious

choice for many fi sh farming facilities in recent years.

Flexibility regarding design and assembly, combined

with documented strength and properties, makes our

tanks ideal for land-based aquaculture applications.

We supply both smaller and larger tanks, and Brimer’s

unique way of combining GRP and concrete for larger

tanks allow us to build very large units. So far, the lar-

gest tanks we have built are 28 meters in diameter and

5-meter-high encapsuling more than 3000 m3 of water.

We have highly experienced in-house engineers who

design and carry out strength analysis (FEM models),

supply all required documentation, drawings, etc. in our

projects. Our ISO 9001 QA-certifi cation ensure that our

processes throughout the whole value chain from sales

to fi nal assembly have the required quality. Our experi-

enced project managers make sure that our delivery is

according to contract and customer requirements and

coordinate the activity on site with our client and other

contractors/sub-contractors. Our dedicated team of

fi tt ers transports the GRP elements with trucks. The

trucks are equipped with a crane making sure that we

are self-suffi cient with on-site crane capacity for loa-

ding/unloading and assembly purposes.

Brimer is able to maintain quality in every aspect from

purchasing raw materials to ready-made tanks for aqu-

aculture. All these tanks are delivered according to “NS

9416 2013 land-based aquaculture facilities for fi sh”.

We deliver:

• Tanks for land-based fi sh farming

• Customized process tanks

• Tanks for silage

• Tanks for blood water

• Sludge tanks

The large tanks/vessels (>ø13.5 m) are under normal circumstances mounted on a concrete slab (slightly conical with center as lowest point) equipped center drainage and pipes molded into the concrete slab.The GRP tanks are fi xed to the concrete slab.

The bott om of Brimer’s tanks for aquaculture use is designed as a conical shaped socket (<ø13.5 m) which subsequently is installed directly on the fl at concrete fl oor. Center pots and pipes can be integrated into the socket and / or placed in the concrete slab. We also supply tanks for installation directly on a bed of sand or tanks without bott om which are fi xed directly to a concrete bott om/fl oor.

Water and sewerage

Brimer is the largest supplier of tanks for potable

water in Norway. Our tanks are produced in GRP with

smooth and maintenance free surfaces inside. We put

eff ort into our exterior facade assuring that our tanks

are environmentally well integrated into the nature

and surroundings. To do so we, in cooperation with

each individual customer, off er a variety of external

claddings, colors, diff erent ceilings etc. according to

the customer requirements. Further, to simplify the

everyday life of the operators at the potable water

tank site, we also off er hatches, ladders, valve en-

closements, staircases, air ventilation systems, etc.,

allowing, operators to operate in a safe, clean and

dry environment. On our clients requests we can also

off er to include concrete works & foundations, valves,

pipes, electric control panels, etc.

The Fish handling and fishery industries have strict

requirements for collection and storage of waste

products and various fluids. Our flexible and ele-

ment-based GRP tank systems can be tailor made to

a variety of application and needs, and flexible both

in terms of size and type of content. And most impor-

tantly; no corrosion.

In recent years, we have experienced an increasingly

interest for our unique system for sea water intakes

(“pump well tank”). This is basically a GRP sandwich

construction which we equip with some steel rod rein-

forcement in the sandwich gap and manufacture this

in our factory, and then transport to customer site.

Here the “Pump Well Tank” is installed at a leveled sur-

face at the seabed and then the sandwich gap is easily

filled with concrete. Brimer make sure that the volume

of concrete is calculated to assure no buoyancy of the

tank. When the concrete is cured the water inside can

be evacuated, and the pump system can be installed

inside the tank. Then the sea and land pipes/hoses can

be connected, and the system is ready for use.
