Definitions
- This invention relates to artificial islands located offshore and methods for their construction and, more particularly, to environmentally friendly artificial islands.
- An artificial island is an island that has been constructed by humans rather than formed by natural means. They may be created by expanding existing islets, construction on existing reefs, or amalgamating several natural islets into a bigger island.
- U.S. Pat. No. 6,830,411 discloses an artificial island formed in a depth of water.
- the aforesaid island has a side surface comprising an outer perimeter fence.
- the outer perimeter fence is formed by a plurality of piles driven into the bed of a water body in a pattern, and a plurality of wire mesh sheets, attached to the plurality of piles.
- the combination of piles and wire mesh sheets forms an island body.
- a riprap material is placed within the enclosure. Soil covers a top of the riprap material raised from water.
- the riprap materials filling the island body block water flow inside the artificial island area.
- the disclosed technical solution damages a surrounding environment situation.
- Aquatic flora and fauna habiting at a sea bed area occupied by the artificial island are annihilated.
- providing an environmentally friendly artificial island adapted for conflict-free habitation of humans and aquatic flora and fauna is a long-felt unmet need.
- an amphibian artificial island adapted for habitation of humans and aquatic flora & fauna
- said island is integrally configured and comprising (i) an underwater portion sitting on a seabed adapted to enable sea water (free) flow; (ii) an above-water platform; and possibly, (iii) recreation and/or accommodation facilities; wherein said unified bi-functional artificial island enables both humans and aquatic flora & fauna coexistence.
- Another object of the invention is to disclose the underwater portion assembled of a plurality of prefabricated perforated modular marine structure units capable of interconnection.
- a further object of the invention is to disclose the underwater portion furnished with means for forming artificial reefs.
- a further object of the invention is to disclose the artificial island further comprising a bridge connecting the artificial island to dry land.
- a further object of the invention is to disclose an environmentally friendly deepwater artificial archipelago adapted for conflict-free habitation of humans and aquatic flora and fauna, comprising a plurality of artificial islands.
- Each artificial island is integrally configured and comprises an underwater portion sitting on a seabed, an above-water platform, and accommodation facilities.
- a further object of the invention is to disclose the archipelago comprising a bridge connecting the artificial island to dry land.
- a further object of the invention is to disclose the artificial islands interconnected by a plurality of bridges.
- a further object of the invention is to disclose a method of forming an environmentally friendly deepwater artificial island comprising erecting said artificial island.
- a further object of the invention is to disclose the step of erecting the artificial island comprising forming the underwater portion by means of assembling plurality of prefabricated perforated modular marine structure units capable of interconnection.
- a further object of the invention is to disclose a method of forming an archipelago of environmentally friendly deepwater artificial islands comprising integrally erecting said artificial islands.
- It is a core purpose of the invention to provide the step of erecting of the island further comprises configuring at least one open-ended water passageway in an underwater portion of each artificial island.
- a further object of the invention is to disclose erecting the artificial islands comprising forming the underwater portions of the artificial islands by means of assembling plurality of prefabricated perforated modular marine structure units capable of interconnection.
- FIG. 1 is a schematic view of an environmentally friendly artificial island
- FIG. 2 is another schematic three-dimensional view of the environmentally friendly artificial island according to yet another design and embodiment.
- FIG. 3 is still another schematic three-dimensional view of the environmentally friendly artificial island according to yet another design and embodiment of the invention.
- artificial reef hereinafter refers to a man-made structure, typically built for the purpose of promoting marine life in areas of generally featureless bottom. Artificial reefs may also serve to hydrodynamics for surfing or to control beach erosion.
- artificial island refers to an island that has been constructed by humans rather than formed by natural means.
- perforated modular marine structure unit hereinafter refers to a structural module for underwater construction, which has cut-outs or passages such that when immersed in a body of water, the water may pass through it.
- the marine modular structure disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 7,226,245 is an example of the aforesaid perforated modular marine structure unit.
- An artificial island 100 comprises integrally configured an underwater portion 20 , an above-water platform 30 , and accommodation facilities 40 .
- the underwater portion 20 further comprises at least one open-ended passageway and sits directly on a surface of a seabed 10 .
- the underwater portion 20 is assembled from perforated modular units 25 .
- the above-water platform 30 being mechanically fixated to the underwater portion 20 carries the accommodation facilities 40 on upper surface of the aforesaid platform 30 .
- marine fauna 60 and a scuba diver 50 are indicated in sea water.
- the underwater portion 20 is furnished with means for forming artificial reefs.
- the aforesaid means constitutes special metal, plastic or any other additional members mechanically connected to perforated modular units 25 to increase an area of contacting sea water to the underwater portion 20 .
- the reefs including artificial ones are points of interest for vacationers and, specifically, for scuba divers. Specifically, the reef islands are very attractive for spear-fishing. It is known that the reefs have very high fish food potential. Additionally, they positively influence on the seabed erosion. It should be emphasized that the disclosed technical solution is environmentally friendly. The aforesaid technical solution provides conflict-free habitation of humans and aquatic flora and fauna.
- the artificial island is connected to dry land by means of a bridge.
- a plurality of the artificial islands forms an archipelago of the artificial islands comprising, in turn, underwater portions sitting on a seabed, an above-water platforms, and accommodation facilities adapted for holyday-maker living.
- each island of the archipelago is assembled from a plurality of prefabricated perforated modular marine structure units capable of interconnection.
- the artificial islands of the aforesaid archipelago are interconnected by means of the bridges. Additionally, at least one artificial island is connected by the bridge to dry land.
- the aforesaid perforated structure can be used for creating underwater habitat for centuries.
- a method of forming an environmentally friendly deepwater artificial island comprises integrally erecting said artificial island.
- the main innovation is that the step of erecting of the artificial island further comprises configuring at least one open-ended water passageway in an underwater portion of said artificial island.
- the perforated modular structure does not block sea water flowing.
- the aforesaid structure is a basis for artificial reef that, in turn, stabilizes sea bed relief and increases the fish food potential.
- the aforesaid perforated support structures of the artificial islands may be used for creating a fauna sanctuary in a resort area.
- the erecting the artificial island comprises forming the underwater portion by means of assembling plurality of prefabricated perforated modular marine structure units capable of interconnection.
- a method of forming an archipelago of environmentally friendly deepwater artificial islands analogously comprises integrally erecting the artificial islands.
- the step of erecting of each island also comprises configuring at least one open-ended water passageway in an underwater portion.
- erecting the artificial archipelago comprises forming the underwater portions of the artificial islands by means of assembling plurality of prefabricated perforated modular marine structure units capable of interconnection.
