Global seafood (fish, shellfish, seaweeds and crustaceans from freshwater and the sea) consumption continues to rise despite wild harvests having peaked at around 90 million tons p.a. in the early 1990’s.
The gap between the stagnant wild supply and growing demand is being made up by the farming of fish and other organisms in a process known as aquaculture. This industry continues to grow at a steady rate with the output topping 106 million tons produced in 2015.
It is Allen Associate’s long-standing commitment to continually improve our service delivery, product quality and overall business offering.
The new month has seen us welcome a new supply agreement with Rutherford VI, an established South African survey equipment and accessory supplier.
Allen Associates have started the year with the supply to Tanzania of a Trimble R6 GPS System for the Cata Gold Mine, with training taking place in the coming week in Musoma.
The Cata Gold Mine, located in Mara Region, Tanzania stands out as a user of modern and advanced technology in the area.
Mara is now known for its richness in gold resources due to the performance of another gold mine in North Mara which is operated by Acacia Mining Plc.
Despite a quiet economy, Allen Associates will remember 2016 as a year of significant environmental and surveying equipment progress.
The year saw installation and planning for several aquaculture projects in South Africa, utilising Allen’s cutting-edge VitalTemp and CIAC monitoring and control systems.
Furthermore, 2016 brought a veritable hangar-full of UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) Drone Mapping and Aerial Surveying solutions to the Allen’s product categories for the benefit of clientele.
C&C Technologies’ alignment with Oceaneering International Inc. consolidated deep-water applications amongst the range of hydrographic solutions offered via Allen Associates.

The world’s appetite for fish is ever-growing. As the demand increases, so does the urgency to find viable solutions to meet such demands.
Over the years, aquaculture, otherwise known as fish farming, has rapidly developed in order to meet global fish demands which the oceans can no longer sustain.
In addition to the sale of surveying equipment and positioning instruments, Allen Associates offers the option to hire equipment.
Allen’s have a complete range of scientifically advanced hardware and software equipment and solutions for positioning and measuring.
We offer a variety of survey equipment rentals including real-time GPS, aerial survey equipment, GIS mapping equipment and total stations, to name a few.
Allen Associates survey equipment training short courses go far in keeping companies ahead in the highly competitive civil engineering and construction industry.
Besides, as part of our skills transfer drive, community projects in aquaculture and aquaponics benefit from training aimed at food security and employment opportunities.
While traditional methods are reinforced, candidates receive instruction in today’s cutting-edge solutions associated with successful knowledge economies.
Courses are tailored to client profiles and conducted locally or at selected venues across Africa.
