Planet in Trouble – Climate and anthropogenic changes are causing instability and extremities in our world reflected by:
Lack of energy, lands, resources, pot water, transportation, ports, etc.
Excess of CO2 emission, heat - greenhouse effect, harsh storms (hurricanes), floods, earthquakes, tsunamis, bad & soft soils, waste land etc.
For many of these problems OBS offers an innovative proprietary solution.
The OceanBrick Systems Ltd. presents the Ocean Brick System (OBS) - a modular, flexible, fast and cost effective system for the erection and founding of artificial islands, large marine and inland infrastructure projects.
OBS is based on advanced studies in Structural Morphology and consists of sophisticated hollow concrete precast modules, with built-in solid section of a tetra-hadron truss.
The modules are piled up like cubes, and are interconnected to create a buoyant, stiff, light and strong superstructure.
OBS is an environment friendly technology that cuts some 92% of filling material needed, and can serve the sea fauna as habitat/sanctuary, manmade reef and fish enhancer.
Renewable Energy: OBS can serve as an excellent offshore support structure for wind turbines, in deeper water than any other known technology.
The OBS offshore turbine is fully installed on-shore, and towed floating to its allocated site, saving on costly marine works.
These exclusive features and its competitive price, guarantees OBS a large share in this multi-billion burgeoning market. OBS enables embedding of tidal generators in it's many 6m. round holes.
Marine Applications: The system is design for efficient mass-production, and industrial erection of versatile mega-structures that can serve as artificial islands, oil platforms, extremely large aquaculture wave protected sea-ponds, quay walls, breakwaters, sea walls, deep water ports that utilize the built-in breakwater of the OBS structure together with its top surface for pier installations as well as for mega-ships deep mooring.
Inland Applications: OBS offers revolutionary Land-Elevation for low-lands vulnerable to flooding (Holland and New-Orleans), the 92% hollowness of the structure can serve as enormous pot water reservoirs.
OBS also offers stabilizing of soft soils (like reclaimed lands in the Netherlands, Alaska etc.) and sinkhole lands (Dead-Sea) turning them into valuable real estate.
The system enables ecological rehabilitation of open mines and quarries.
