Spar & Dock (Shallow Water Model)

Base Structure of The Shallow Water Model (aka The TriSpar)

This is the base structure of the shallow water trispar model.

The central and outer spars are made of steel. The outriggers are made of steel and filled with air. The outer spars are filled with cement.

Spar Door

You can choose between a steel door, a fiberglass door, and a transparent door with fiberglass frame. An NFC reader to unlock your door as well as smart locks will be available with the Smart Home Upgrade Package. The door is water tight against splashes and waves but it not meant to be submerged for long periods.

Underwater Access

Certain section of the TriSpar is big enough to crawl through in case you need to. There may be storage tanks in these areas.

 

Hatch to underwater section of the TriSpar

We will have a circular watertight hatch under the spiral staircase to enter the underwater section of the spar. The hatch will have an opening of 600-700mm and be similar to this.

Spiral Staircase

There is a spiral staircase that starts just above the waterline and goes up to the living room. We will have a default stair step design and upgrade options to have a custom design. Some custom designs are shown below.

Dock Area

There is a 1.5m dock built around the base entrance of the SeaPod. The renders below give you an idea of what this area will look like but there will not be a fence around the dock and there will be a walkway to one of the outer spars. The dock is made of a gray color fiberglass grating (like this or this local supplier).

Steel Hull

The steel hull is made from AH32 steel at 15mm for the central spar and the outriggers and outer spars are 12mm. The steel is protected from rusting with a zinc coating + anti-rusting paint. We are also using electrification of the spar (@1.3-1.9VDC) to protect from rusting corrosion.
