No results found.The present report comprises Phase 1 of the design development of the Brackishwater Aquaculture Research Station (BARS) of FRI. The report describes in short the status and potential of brackishwater aquaculture in Bangladesh and the role research can play in its further development. Operational objectives for BARS are identified, with their relative priorities. Site and design criteria are listed, based on: infrastructural needs of the research programmes envisaged; physical and chemical requirements for construction and water management; expected staff requirements. General characteristics of the Khulna/Satkhira area are described and projected on the site criteria mentioned above. The preliminary selected site at Tengramari is analyzed for its suitability for BARS. Although there are shortcomings with respect to general land level and freshwater supply, the site can in principle be considered suitable. A preliminary lay-out of facilities is presented and design recomme ndations are provided. A list is drawn up of general and specific actions that have to be undertaken before Phase 2 of the design development can proceed. In Phase 2 the design work will be finalized, needed specifications will be prepared, and bills of quantities and tender documents will be drafted. -

No results found.a) This report provides the final description of the design of the BFRS; and completes part 2 of the consultants assignment to the project. (b) A design is provided for the site selected at Paikgacha, Khulna district, comprising layouts of ponds, laboratory, administrative and service facilities, specifications for facilities, services, and installed equipment, and details of significant engineering requirements for successful development. In addition, a budget costing is provided for contract guidance and assisting in allocation of funds. A timetable of development is also included, defining the critical points in the completion of the project. (c) A draft tender notification is provided for local consultant engineers, together with terms of reference and a schedule of work, and a design/supervision timetable. (d) The main points to note are: The site is suitable for the requirements defined in the research programme, and meets the site selection criteria well. Additional si te area is required for provision of fill material for main walls, as the site is relatively low-lying. Final layouts may be affected by detailed results of soil bearing tests and of freshwater availability. Timing of development is particularly critical: unless clear and decisive executive control is exercised, it will be difficult to complete significant construction work within the 1986/87 dry season. The accompanying figure demonstrates the critical points in the early development of the project. At present (1986) price levels, the project development is estimated to cost around 100110% of specifically allocated funds. This cannot necessarily be guaranteed if long delays occur. As presently specified, the design fulfills the requirements of the main defined research objectives in a reasonably efficient and cost-effective manner. Project costs can be reduced, but only at the cost of compromising some of these objectives.
