Concrete is the second most consumed material in the world after water, says ECOncrete co-founder Ido Sella in a video produced by Palestinian-Israeli Nuseir Yassin blogger who reached millions of fans via his Daily Nas page.

The issue is that concrete, as it is currently used in marine-related construction like bridges and wave-breakers, causes damage to marine life.

The damage is caused both by how current cement blocks are designed, which doesn't take into account the needs of sea life forms, and the chemicals used to create modern concrete, which have a negative effect on the ecosystem.

The solution offered by Sella and ECOncrete CEO Shimrit Perkol-Finkel is both structural and material-based.

Their innovative design includes small holes and spaces for fish to hid in, and sea-weed to grow in, and they use less Portland cement than other types of concrete, OZY reported in January 2018, replacing it with recycled materials.

The company ran a pilot project at Brooklyn Bridge Park and worked at such diverse locations as Georgia, Florida a,the Great Lakes region and the River Thames in London, OZY reported.  .    Nuseir Yassin, who is also known as Nas Daily, returned to Israel in January after spending on thousand days traveling the world and releasing one video per day.  

Originally from Arrabe in the Lower Galilee, he attracted 12 million Facebook followers.

Precedent Four - ECOncrete’s Sustainable Marine Block’s

ECOoncrete have designed a new sustainable way to support the growth of marine life on concrete surfaces which will further benefit the surrounding environment while also acting as an alternative to ripraps that were used to stabilize and secure shores in marine construction. They use a bio-enhancing agent that seems to balance out the chemical composition of the concrete and provide a second textured agent that creates a surface for the marine organisms to live on. They are suitable for a range of life such as, oysters, corals, barnacles, crayfish, etc.

 I find this design the most useful and interesting as it provides an innovative way of helping construction along shores while also not taking away from the importance of the marine life that would have been disturbed from any alternative method. It also looks visually engaging while blending into the natural surrounding rock formations.

Man-made rock pools at San Diego Bay waterfront double as coastal defences

A group of geometric concrete blocks that mimic rock pools have been installed at San Diego Bay in California by eco-engineering company Econcrete to prevent flooding while providing habitats for marine life.

The project, named Coastalock, is a coastal defence system with textured and indented surfaces that encourage organisms to latch on colonise it.

It was designed by Econcrete as an alternative to traditional man-made flood defences that typically offer little or no value to underwater ecosystems.

Above: Econcrete has designed man-made rock pools. Top image: they have been installed at San Diego Bay

Econcrete's installation was carried out with the Port of San Diego corporation on two sites at Harbor Island as part of the area's Blue Economy Incubator, a scheme for trialling new and sustainable marine technologies.

The modules replace existing riprap rock mounds – a traditional type of coastal defence that prevents flooding and erosion – which line both coastal sites.

They double as coastal defences and marine habitats

"This Blue Economy pilot is proving that the coastal and marine construction industry can achieve two goals at once: any concrete infrastructure going into the water can perform structurally and be good for ecosystems," said Shimrit Perkol-Finkel, co-founder of Econcrete.

"Coastalock is a fully load-bearing, durable solution that changes the form and function of our developed coastlines."

Their indented surfaces encourage marine life to latch on

Coastalock modules have an octahedral shape designed for durability and to allow them to be easily combined with other units for stability.

The sizes was determined to provide enough space for the textured rock pool indents, without reducing the overall strength of the unit.

They were transported to two sites on a barge

Each module installed along the bay was cast on land in steel formwork, using Econcrete's patented concrete, which goes by the same name.

This material uses eco-friendly admix that includes recycled materials and gives rise to a textured finish that encourages organisms to latch on to it when installed underwater.

"Econcrete's patented admix is designed not only for structural performance but also for native marine ecosystems," Econcrete told Dezeen.

"Conventional concrete is quite toxic to marine life, and therefore tends to promote more opportunistic invasive species."

A crane was required to lift them into place

The modules were transported to the two sites site using a barge, before being lifted into place with a crane.

A total of 74 interlocking modules have been installed, with each site comprising four rows of up to 10 Coastalock units.

The orientation of each row is different, meaning the rock pool-like insets are either angled sideways, upwards or down into the water, providing different conditions for different organisms.

"The units are multi-directional, when the tidepool is faced upwards it becomes a water-retaining feature, when sideways a cave, and an overhang when faced downwards," the company explained.

They are made from Econcrete's own brand of concrete

Each site will be now monitored every six months for signs of colonisation and to evaluate the viability modules as an alternative to traditional tidal defences.

Econcrete expects habitation to begin with "tiny ecosystem-builders like tubeworms, coralline algae, and other local sedentary organisms", which will pave the way for more biodiverse ecosystems.

The long-term goal, however, is that the Coastalock modules will become home to calcitic organisms, such as coral and clams.

This is because these organisms draw carbon from the water in order to build their skeletal forms and shells. In turn, Econcrete said, this means the system can help contribute to the storage of carbon dioxide along the coastline.

"After the units hit the water, however, they also become active carbon-capturers," it explained.

"By facilitating the growth of calcitic organisms, Coastalock boosts nature as a tool to fight climate change along our working waterfronts."

They replace traditional riprap rock mounds

In 2016, Taiwanese designer Sheng-Hung Lee and Malaysian designer Wan Kee Lee also developed a new type of sea defence that doubles as a set of giant plant pots.

More recently, US design workshop Objects and Ideograms carried out a research project to facilitate the restoration of coral reefs, which involved 3D printing with calcium carbonate to create sustainable underwater "houses" for coral reefs

ECOncrete Turns Marine Infrastructures Into Thriving Natural Ecosystems

Over 50% of the world’s inhabitants lives in coastal areas. Sadly, the ensuing growth has positioned severe stress on natural ecosystems. Most marine infrastructures (resembling breakwaters, seawalls, and piers) are created from concrete, disrupting the delicate stability that helps thriving oceans.

They’re designed and constructed as a right for marine life. The flat, clean floor and chemical composition of concrete buildings will not be surrogate to pure substrates like oysters and coral reefs. To make issues worse, the elevated storminess and rising risk of sea-level rise make it crucial for coastal city environments to retrofit and develop the land additional.

Israeli marine biologists Dr. Shimrit Perkol-Finkel and Dr. Ido Sella have witnessed firsthand the extent of environmental harm that human exercise creates alongside coastlines globally. They specialise in ecological engineering and nature-inspired options. Collectively, they based ECOncrete as a sensible, scalable, environmentally delicate answer to scale back marine infrastructure’s environmental footprint.

The corporate has developed a line of concrete options that improve the fabric’s ecological and organic worth whereas rising its sturdiness and power. The goal is to bridge the practical and structural gaps between the submerged concrete developments and pure habitats.

(Credit score: ECOncrete)

Perkol-Finkel stated:

We wished to take our tutorial experience and apply it to the actual world, at scale, to actually make a change and offset the big damages that persons are inflicting on our oceans — however the path from Ph.D. to CEO shouldn’t be straightforward. After I began diving (25 years in the past!), I by no means imagined it might lead me to co-found a startup and tackle among the world’s best challenges like local weather change impacts and lack of biodiversity.

(Credit score: ECOncrete Tech)

ECOncrete succeeds in making coastlines much less disruptive to marine ecosystems by changing intrusive concrete buildings (like seafloor mats and seawalls) with merchandise that mix in with their environment. It accomplishes this by means of biomimicry – a way that depends on the textures, shapes, and sizes of pure techniques to dictate how a product is constructed. The result’s a bio-enhancing materials that helps marine life thrive.

Sella defined:

The thought is to tweak the concrete composition, texture, and design in order that buildings like seawalls or armor items that make up ports, marinas, and metropolis waterfront will improve marine natural world. Such buildings are at present made of ordinary Portland Cement-based concrete, which is powerful and cost-effective but is dangerous to marine life. ‘Gray’ concrete buildings help invasive and weedy species. With ECOncrete, we preserve and even enhance the power of the construction, but additionally generate a wealthy and numerous ecosystem.

(Credit score: ECOncrete Tech)

The expertise even harnesses pure processes like biocalcification, which advantages the ecosystem and additional strengthens the construction.

Perkol-Finkel defined:

The skeletons of oysters, tube worms, coralline algae, and alike create a biogenic crust on the concrete that provides power and reduces scour and sensitivity to chemical erosion in a course of known as bioprotection. These identical skeletons additionally create an lively carbon sink, with each kilogram of calcium carbonate generated offsetting 300 gr of CO2 from our oceans. A kilometer of seawall on a typical Mediterranean coast will offset as much as 2 tons of CO2 a 12 months, equal to the sequestration of 100 grownup bushes.

The particular cement ECOncrete makes use of to make their merchandise boasts a 30-46% discount in greenhouse gasoline emissions in comparison with a Portland-based combine. Plus, the improved floral exercise (rising kelps and seagrass) sequesters carbon, turning the infrastructure right into a carbon sink.

(Credit score: ECOncrete Tech)

In 2019, the corporate was named one in all TIME Magazine’s 100 best inventions. After that, it was chosen as a finalist within the Biomimicry Institute’s $100,000 Ray of Hope Prize competitors.

Perkol-Finkel commented:

Being chosen as one of many Ray of Hope Prize finalists defines us as an business chief, and successful the competitors will assist us scale up our influence and set new requirements for ecological engineering of coastal and marine infrastructure all over the world. Ocean well being and human well being are entwined, particularly as we speak. A wholesome, numerous, and resilient ocean should be a part of the post-COVID world. This can be a historic alternative to restart nature and actually construct resiliency into our communities, cities, and oceans.

Since Perkol-Finkel and Sella established ECOncrete in 2012, they’ve launched a number of large-scale experimental tasks worldwide and perfected their line of concrete options. Their Tide-Pool Armor gained the 2018 Biomimicry International Design Problem. Different merchandise embrace the Eco-mats that forestall seashore erosion and a seawall unit known as Eco-Armor. All of them present shelter and nursing grounds for corals, canopy-forming algae, fish, oysters, and sponges by mimicking reefs’ pure options. The concrete is high-performance and matches the business’s requirements.
