Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a seawater intake system last?: Our systems are engineered and warranted for a minimum 40-year operational lifespan. The majority of our installations from the early 1990s are still operating at original specification.
What does the installation process look like?: Most installations are completed in 20–30 weeks depending on system scale, seabed geology, and coastal access.
How do your systems handle environmental requirements?: Every system incorporates low-impact velocity cap screening technology that meets or exceeds EPA 316(b).
What does a system cost?: System investment ranges from $800K for compact modular installations to $80M+ for large-scale municipal infrastructure.
Can your systems integrate with existing desalination plants?: Yes — we've retro-fitted intake systems to SWRO, MSF, and MED plants across three continents.
