BASIC WAVE™
REEF MODULES
We design reef modules inspired by building blocks. The pictures and schematics shown are for illustrative purposes only. Final shape and design may vary depending on the customer’s needs.
BASIC WAVE™ DESIGN
Basic Wave™ design is based on an octagonal shape with a diagonal centre plate in order to create as much growth surface as possible. Furthermore, the diagonal plate provides shade and shelter for marine life.
The various holes in the module can be adjusted in size and, as such, adapted to the requirements of local marine life. The Basic Wave™ series starts with the BW5 (115m³) and ends with the BW2 (7.4m³). Besides its function as a divable reef module, this model can be used for coastal protection as well. Transformed into a closed model by using a top plate with pressure-release holes, it reduces the kinetic energy caused by strong currents and/or waves.
The substrates and core reinforcement materials used are low-carbon impact materials. The module material used consists of low-carbon-impact eco geopolymer concrete, which is manufactured locally, as close as possible to the deployment sites.

BLUBOXX™
DATA RECORDING DEVICES
Our BluBoxx™ devices are an option on all our reef solutions. They collect big ocean data which can be used for limitless research and commercial applications.
BLUBOXX™ DATA RECORDING DEVICES
Our engineered reefs are the ultimate opportunity to collect data; as such, we equip our reef structures with our revolutionary BluBoxx™ data-recording devices. The generated data will serve as input for a multitude of applications worldwide. Many industries will have the opportunity to use this data source: food and agriculture; travel and tourism; coastal defence; bio and medical technology; academic research, etcetera.
The substrates and core reinforcement materials used are low-carbon impact materials. The module material used consists of low-carbon-impact eco geopolymer concrete, which is manufactured locally, as close as possible to the deployment sites.
CUSTOMISABLE BLUBOXX™
Our unique, customisable BluBoxx™ solution can be adapted to different environments and works with various sensors and cameras.
Sensors are used to measure salinity; temperature; PH; dissolved oxygen; pressure; carbon dioxide. Additionally, sensors for hydrophone, sonar and 4K cameras are an option as well.
A BluBoxx™ facilitates the data transmission from the subsea sensor collection box to the surface, as well as harnessing energy in the opposite direction. Energy generated via solar panels feeds the collection box and sensors. From the BluBoxx™, the data is uploaded to the cloud, supporting global open-source ocean research as well as serving a huge variety of industries.
KEY FEATURES OF OUR PRODUCTS
Interstitial spaces of modules are designed to accommodate smaller species.
The tall vertical relief of our modules attracts pelagic fish.
A rapidly deployable system can enhance degraded reef habitat immediately
Designs to modify flow can stimulate growth of plants and animals and protects specific habitat niches.
Structures create complex vertical and tubular habitat(s) for reef fish.
Installations provide immediate protection for pre-existing corals and fish, as well as provide new substrate for new life.
The module design enables growth by both transplanting of corals and naturally settling larvae.
