Floating bridge Maldives
The floating bridge Maldives design needs to answer to both the engineering challenges and the environmental challenges at this unusual site and stay within a reasonable budget. Crossing a peace of deep water between the two coral islands in the Maldives.
A conventional design would implicate several big foundations at the sea bed which are not only costly and complex to build but also have a very negative impact on any life at the bottom of the ocean.
The floating bridge Maldives is an environment friendly answer to cope with the profound depths. The concept may be used for this assignment but also be applicable in the future to connect other islands and still preserve the qualities of the Maldives.
The Inspiration for this concept came from the small but genius animals called water striders.
This Concept came form the pen of Jorge Moura MSc, BNA
