Offshore solutions
The loss of biodiversity of marine life species is becoming a bigger and more obvious problem. Offshore wind farms create opportunity for large scale ecosystem restoration through development of marine infrastructure.
Validated stability
Reefy has conducted thorough validation of the stability of the ReefBlock for various offshore applications, including scour protections, cable protections, and around monopiles.
Meeting tender requirements
ReefBlock meets the stability requirements outlined in the tender specifications for artificial reefs. By enhancing natural habitats, it offers a solution that addresses both environmental and engineering needs.
Efficient installation
ReefBlock can be efficiently installed in pairs of two using a crane, significantly reducing installation times and lowering costs. Additionally, ReefBlocks can be stacked efficiently for transport.
Our solution
A stable artificial reef for offshore conditions
The loss of biodiversity among marine life species is becoming an increasingly pressing issue. Given that offshore wind farms can significantly impact the surrounding natural environment, we are committed to reducing this impact and promoting the resurgence of marine life. Stable artificial, nature-inclusive reefs are now integral components of tenders. We provide crucial habitat support and can assist you in making offshore development more nature-inclusive, thereby enhancing biodiversity.
Offshore ReefBlocks
The ReefBlocks are crafted from environmentally friendly, plastic-free materials, ensuring harmlessness to the ecosystem while providing an ideal substrate for oyster attachment.
With weights of up to 6 tons, ReefBlocks offer a versatile solution, capable of replacing or complementing traditional armor layer rocks in scour protection designs, all while serving as habitat for fish and crustaceans.
Specially engineered and rigorously tested for stability, ReefBlocks excel even in high-velocity environments, remaining steadfast against strong currents. Their surface textures are designed to attract oyster spat, facilitating the regeneration of natural reefs."
Validated stability
- ReefBlocks stability has been confirmed in phsyical model testing, simulating storms in the North Sea with a return period of 1 in a 100 years.
- ReefBlock has undergone testing on sandy beds, cable protections and adjacent to monopiles.
- Experimental results have demonstrated stability of ReefBlock.
- Stability has been confirmed for flow conditions, wave conditions and flow and wave conditions.
Meeting tender requirements
Thanks to its nature inclusive design, ReefBlock meets tender specifications seamlessly. Textures and hole sizes can be customized to align with the unique requirements of each tender. Notably, ReefBlock is compatible with the offshore wind farm tender in the Dutch North Sea: IJmuiden Ver.
