Reef Ball News in Portugasa

english Reef Ball News in English: With authorization of the Navy department and
operational support of the Port administration of
the State of the Paraná and professional divers of
the APASUB thirty and quadrilateral blocks of
concrete had been launched first (to the side),
weighing 850 kg each, in three selected points
(figure). The success of the operation (figure 1 and
appears 2) certified the viability of nesting of
artificial reefs. For next the two years it is intended
to install, beyond the artificial quadrilaterals that
function as habitats and modules for
oceanographical equipment installation, new structures using the technology Reef Ball®.
The technology Reef Ball®, developed for the American company north Reef Ball
Development Group Ltd., was placed the disposal of the Program RAM for the Institute
ECOPLAN, detainer of the rights in Brazil. The Reef Ball® was adopted by forming steady
recifais systems, with raised resistance mechanics and low visual impact, beyond presenting
operational easinesses (construction, transport, installation and technology transfer) and low
cost of construction, accessible to the artisan fishing.
The reficais systems will be formed by esruturas Reef Ball® and quadrilaterals of concrete.
The cement for the confection of 365 units of artificial reef (180 Reef Ball® and 185
quadrilaterals) was donated by the Cia. de Cimento Portland - Rio Branco. Researchers of
the Laboratory of Materials and Structures (LAME - COPEL/UFPR) will supply traces
(composition) of concrete that will be tested in situ, searching bigger durability, resistance
and pH adjusted to the biological settling.....
