EZYBUILD® SMARTRUSS® CP Aqua (India) is one of world’s leading agro-industrial and food conglomerates. With a global vision of developing structural, safe and quality food products, CP Aqua was looking for a reliable partner to set up fishery units across India for prawn/shrimp cultivation. Since most of the produce is exported, highly advanced cultivation technologies along with sophisticated facilities play an important role in sustenance of successful and quality driven fish farming sites.

Overall Customer requirement:
For shrimp cultivation CP Aqua wanted to develop optimum and functional designs for accommodating maximum ponds as per the farm layout. With adequate roofing system that would safe guard the entire life cycle of the breeding process, CP Aqua also wanted long term durability with very low maintenance. Quality, reliability and performance were top priorities. Since their earlier built up was a conventional one (using HR tubes and pipes); CP Aqua would often face maintenance issues. Their main concern was a rust free truss and sheeting solution.

Solution offered:
SMARTRUSS® Solution, is an advanced, lightweight framing technology for all roof support solutions from EZYBUILD®. It is perfectly suitable for shrimp culture farming sites that demand high levels of structural stability, spanning capability and a great wind uplift performance. This solution addressed all aspects of customer requirement:Due to proximity to coastline, CP Aqua wanted a rust free, low maintenance structure

SMARTRUSS® solution components made of high strength ZINCALUME® steel ensure corrosion resistance and enable longer life. ZINCALUME® steel combines both, the galvanic protection of Zinc and barrier protection of Aluminium known as “self-healing” property. On an average ZINCALUME® steel (AZ150 coating) lasts up to four times longer than galvanized (zinc coated Z275 coating) steel in similar environmental conditions.

A strong and durable and sustainable structure with excellent wind uplift High yield strength of minimum 550 MPa, ZINCALUME® structural steel ensure higher load carrying capacity in cyclonic wind areas that adds more stability to the structure. Ideal for shrimp culture farming sites that demand high levels of structural stability and wind uplift. The truss members made from ZINCALUME® steel, are 100% recyclable and environment friendly option for construction.

Early occupancy for quick revenue generation SMARTRUSS® is fully computer designed solution with SUPRACADD™ software linked to sophisticated Computer Aided Manufacturing and is based on lean construction methodology; ensuring faster, accurate and consistent project delivery. Due to which, CP Aqua was not only able to address market demand but also generate jobs opportunities for local residents.
