Summary of the technology

The construction of underwater and coastal infrastructure, such as ports, breakwaters, and marine platforms, in natural marine habitats like reefs, estuaries, and mangroves disrupts hydrodynamic flows and alters sedimentary conditions. This leads to biodiversity loss and a decline in the quality of marine habitats. The technology offers modular slabs made of bio-enhanced concrete that mimic natural habitats, restore marine biodiversity, and withstand harsh marine conditions.

Details of the Technology Offer

Esta invención consiste en una losa modular diseñada para el recubrimiento de estructuras marinas y la restauración de hábitats marinos. Cuenta con:

Diseño tridimensional con heterogeneidad estructural de complejidad simple, media o alta, que incorpora elementos como ranuras o relieves con variabilidad en cantidad, ancho, ondulación y dirección.
Mecanismos de anclaje o instalación in situ.
Hormigón biomejorado elaborado a partir de una mezcla de cemento marino y carbonato de calcio (CaCO3), fabricado mediante moldeo.
Las losas modulares se fabrican utilizando una mezcla de hormigón biomejorado compuesta por cemento marino, agregados, agua y carbonato de calcio derivado de conchas molidas de moluscos. El diseño incorpora modelado 3D para crear losas estructuralmente heterogéneas con ranuras, relieves y sistemas de anclaje integrados para una fácil instalación.
