JTC ARTIFICIAL REEF
Year: 2018
Client: JTC Corporation
The project is jointly launched by JTC and the National Parks Board (NParks). The artificial reef will be formed by pre-fabricated concrete structures about 10m tall that will be sunk in the waters of the park which would sit on the seabed without piling or major works, are conceptualised to minimise impact to the existing marine environment.
Occupying the entire water column from sub-surface to the seafloor, the structures, which are the size of threestorey terrace houses, are designed to provide numerous and unique habitat niches for a wide variety of marine life.
Recycled rocks will also be attached to their surfaces to increase surface complexity and promote the growth of coral, which will in tum attract fish and other sea life. The artificial reefs are also designed to be self-sustaining, requiring minimal or no maintenance.
