Arktide has developed innovative systems to build low cost, long life, floating islands
Airform
Concrete
Domes
This method of construction has existed for over half a century, with thousands of domes built around the world for everything from homes, to tornado shelters, to gymnasiums, to large industrial structures.
This simple and proven system can be utilized directly at sea to construct low cost, long life, floating islands using high strength impermeable concrete.
-
Concrete has been used for over a century for boats, ships, barges, and floating homes
-
Concrete's greatest advantages are low cost and long life in seawater
-
Concrete's greatest disadvantage is weight reducing efficient movement, which becomes an advantage when building stationary islands
Using airform concrete construction on the water allows for a wide range of unique floating island and city designs, including highly organic natural structures
