Our solutions include attachment loops with a user-friendly design. All attachment loops are plastic-covered using color codes in order to ensure safe handling. We focus on quality. An important area is optimization and customizing net design. 

Our solutions are coned nets, straight-wall circular net, and nets for square cages. 

Coned nets

The design makes operations easier, improves safety, and can be cost-efficient. More than 40 years of experience is the basis of these innovative solutions.

Easier, safer, and more cost effective Egersund Net Circle Angled (ENCA) and Egersund Net Circle Coned (ENCC). Simple and safe handling of nets.

More than 40 years of experience

The design makes operations easier, improves safety, and can be cost-efficient. More than 40 years of experience is the basis of these innovative solutions.

A cone-shaped structure with single weight system can be delivered with a circumference up to 200 m and above. 

Egersund Net circle coned net (ENCC) has been supplied for a number of years, with exceptional feedback from our customers. On the basis of this concept, we have developed an alternative net design (ENCA), also equipped with center weight. 

Both designs retain their volume and shape even when deployed at exposed locations.

The system has been carefully tested and documented.

Straight-wall circular net

The structure is very flexible. It can be used regardless of the local water depth and with various weight systems.

Egersund Net Circle (ENC): Optimal use of volume. The volume of this design can easily be adjusted in a simple manner by varying the wall depth, the use of horizontal ropes, and by "drying" the net.

The ENC design has been thoroughly tested in both the SINTEF flume tank (Hirtshals, Denmark) and in full scale. In cooperation with several customers, we have accumulated solid experience, competence, and documentation related to this design.

All circular designs can be adapted to sinker tubes or single weights.

Nets for square cages

Egersund Net Rectangular (ENR) and Egersund Net Square (ENS): Custom made for the individual steel installation.

The structures are custom-made in accordance with individual requirements and installation. We design smart solutions for net walls as well as net bottoms. Nets adapted to steel-based installations can be delivered in the form of straightwalled, coned or pointed designs. The bottom of the net can be of a sloping or non-sloping design.
