CONSTRUCTION
Stages of Construction:
i. Build a coffer dam across the thinest part of the lagoon and drain the water from the location.
ii. Use a Bobcat to scape the lagoon floor for desirables. Dig out the ballast pit, 2m deep and lay rebar.
The living habitat will be set at 8m and the hydroponic habitat will be set at 6m deep.
iii. Pour the ballast pit.
iv. Set the 6m and 5m dome positive mould airforms in place, lay the rebar.
Set all the acrylic panels into place.
Shotcrete to a 0.15m thickness of the outer hull. Carbon fibre micro rebar
mixed with seacrete.
v. Artificial reef placements.
vi. Flood the lagoon to 0.5m. Lay all the kelp beds and seagrasses.
vii. Remove the coffer dam and flood the lagoon.
Who Are Our Construction Partners -- The Monolithic Story
The Monolithic story begins with David B. South and his interest in dome building. That interest started when David was still in high shchool and never waned. In fact, it intensified. By 1975, David and his two brothers, Barry and Randy, had successfully built their first Monolithic Dome-- a potato storage facility in Shelley, Idaho, 105' in diameter and 35' high.​​
The Location
We can build these sites on any estuary, sandbar, lagoon.
As well we can build living fresh water dams and lakes for your underwater habitat.
With the focus on natural eco systems, you'll have pristine water and healthy environment.
The artificial reef includes oyster banks, kelpgardens and sea grasses to maintain water quality.
Each lagoon is stocked with desirable species, fish, crabs, shellfish and other produce.
Onshore we'll have energy generation and greenhouse to further support the colony.
My Airlock Design
My airlock design requires no external power and functions using air and water pressure. No pumps.
The airlock is joined to the utility dome and all access is through there.
Essentially it acts like a moon pool.
The exterior hatch is low and the interior hatch is high with the airlock half flooded at all times.
We are looking for sponsors.
