Supporting you all along, from consulting to commissioning

31102016-822A5929-2

With more than 15 years of experience, Luxaqua offers a full range of consulting and engineering services to design your new aquatic research system.

We support our clients in every step of the project until we push the ON button together.

Marine and aquaculture researchers usually come to us with a burning question regarding the relevance of specific technologies, the financial feasibility, or the necessary time frame. We are here to listen and guide you toward the unique solution you need.  

01  

Consulting & concept design

Our first job is consulting and engineering: we turn your ideas into technical drawings.

Do you need help writing the specifications of your aquatic research facility refurbishment or extension project? You do not know where to start? You knocked at the right door.

We can join your team at the early stages of your project to help define the scope of work before getting into the engineering development phase, including technical drawings, manufacturing, and programming your monitoring system.

We can advise you on the following topics:

  • Benchmarking of available technologies
  • Prophylaxis strategies to avoid contamination
  • International guidelines and regulation
  • Technical room layout
  • Operating costs and bills of quantities

In addition, we can provide attractive 3D renderings of your project to help you move to the next stage by offering your financial department and stakeholders a compelling visualisation.

02  

Design & Engineering

We speak the same language as the researchers and curators. We can fill the gap between researchers’ objectives and engineers’ constraints. We pride ourselves on adapting to 100% of experimentation protocols requirements. In this phase, we focus on the following:

  • Drawing a detailed piping and instrumentation diagram (PID)
  • Designing a reliable automated life-support system (LSS)
  • Providing 3D models for BIM
  • Provide plumbing, electricity, HVAC & lighting requirements
  • Programming the monitoring system

At Luxaqua, sustainable development is not an overrated commitment. We only use suppliers of high-quality and durable materials, using sustainable manufacturing. On our side, we always offer you the best energy-efficient solution while designing your system.

Project management & logistics

Once your project specifications are clear, it’s time to move to the phases that make the concept a reality. All our projects are pre-manufactured, pre-assembled, and thoroughly tested in our workshop in France. Expert project management is also needed to run the construction and installation smoothly.

Beyond manufacturing your custom fish tank system, we provide project management and logistics services. From a thorough packing list to onsite supervision, helping you manage your project allows you to secure the construction costs, the deadlines, and the quality.

Our assistance between the construction companies and your internal teams will favour the commitment of your stakeholders. Thanks to our deep understanding of researchers’ goals and technicians’ requirements, we help improve communication.

 

04  

Installation & Commissioning

Once the site is ready to receive your fully custom fish tank system, our multi-disciplinary team travel to your facility to finalise the installation of the pre-assembled parts and the monitoring system.

We care about quality and details; we won’t leave before your installation works as planned, and your team is trained to use it. Your complete satisfaction is essential to us. Choosing Luxaqua for your aquatic research facility project is choosing durability, modularity, and reliability.
