May 4, 2012 - PRLog -- Since 2010, construction workers have been hard at work on the Sea Water Abstraction facilities that will serve investors that settle in the 32 hectare cluster in Zone 1A. Zone Operations and Maintenance Executive Manager Johan Burger speaks glowingly about the facility that boasts two reservoirs that will feed the much needed seawater resource to investors.

“We are proud of this facility as it will feed an estimated 185 litres per second of sea water; this will allow fin fish farming to thrive in the IDZ,” says Burger

“It is estimated that once, the cluster is fully developed, about 4000 tons of fin fish will be farmed in the IDZ annually , for each major investor , once their facilities are in full operation . Those are important figures for us when it comes to our contribution to the rest of the sector in the country.”

According to Burger the East London IDZ will own, operate and manage the facility that was tested successfully in December 2011.  “We will take between 2 to 3 months to complete the facility thereafter, allowing us to iron out any difficulties, or problems during this period; so that we are fully confident of its working condition before offering its services to our investors,” concludes Burger
