Description
The idea is to use a tension circle to make a marina.
Detail
- Material issues - concrete, foam inside wall. Since it does not go far below the water foam and concrete should be ok. With foam cracks in the concrete will not be fatal.
- Tension members could be plastic rope or steel cable
Requirements Analysis
- Safety
- It is very wide compared to boats and so should be very stable
- Wall is filled with foam so essentially unsinkable
- No active ballast controls so no chance of that going wrong
- Not clear how we make boats inside safe during hurricanes
- Comfort
- Should have a gentle motion on normal days but significant response to large waves.
- Cost
- Depends on size.
- Pretty
- Looks nice.
- Modular
- May be able to scale by adding wall sections. Can make multiple marinas.
- Cargo
- Very easy for a boat to come into the marina and transfer cargo to other boats.
- Free Floating
- Yes
- Scalable
- Scales up but not clear what the minimum reasonable size is.
- Standards
- Mobile
- If tension members were removed from wall it could go through the water like a snake so moving was very economical.
- Draft
- Very shallow draft.
