The ICM Turnkey Process
Our turnkey process involves three critical phases: Design & Engineering, Construction, and Operations & Development. This structured approach guarantees that every project we undertake is meticulously planned and executed, providing our clients with a fully functional and sustainable aquarium.
Design & Engineering for Turnkey Aquarium Projects
Our Design & Engineering phase engages a collaborative team of architects, engineers, and biologists from the outset. This ensures every aspect of the aquarium is both aesthetically pleasing and functional, including:
- Concept Development: Aligning client vision with project goals.
- Detailed Design: Creating comprehensive architectural and engineering plans.
- 3D Modeling and Simulations: Visualizing the project with precision.
- Technical Specifications: Drafting detailed documents for construction guidance.
Our holistic approach ensures thorough consideration of every detail, enabling us to recommend the best equipment tailored to client budgets and needs. We collaborate with reputable global manufacturers, many of whom have been our trusted subcontractors for decades.
Expert Construction for Turnkey Aquarium Projects
The Construction phase is where the plans come to life. Our experienced aquarium construction team ensures that every aspect of the project is built to the highest standards. This phase includes:
- Site Preparation: Groundwork and foundation readiness.
- Structural Construction: Building the aquarium, including waterproof concrete tanks.
- System Installation: Fitting life support and filtration systems.
- Acrylic Panel Installation: Precision installation to prevent future issues.
Quality Control: Rigorous inspections to uphold high standards.
Our independence allows us to offer optimal solutions tailored to each project’s requirements, location, budget, and timeline. With over 30 years of experience, our team ensures proper installation of critical elements like acrylic panels, minimizing potential issues.
Comprehensive Operations & Development for Turnkey Aquarium Projects
The Operation & Development phase ensures that the aquarium operates smoothly after construction is complete. Our experienced team of biologists and operations experts takes over to manage the aquarium, providing ongoing support and maintenance. This phase includes:
- Initial Setup and Testing: Ensuring all systems operate flawlessly.
- Animal Care and Quarantine: Safely transporting and acclimating aquatic species.
- Staff Training: Equipping local teams with essential aquarium care skills.
- Ongoing Support: Providing continuous maintenance and assistance.
Some successful examples of the ICM recent work with animals being wealthy at the tanks happened in our project in Chongqing (China) where the Zebra Sharks and Baby Stingrays were happily born or our Giant Catfish growing rates in Siem Reap (Cambodia)
ICM ensures that the animals are in the best hands from the beginning, and our experts teach the local team how to care for the aquarium population, ensuring the aquarium thrives and attracts regular visitors.
