A CASE STUDY ON GREEN FLOAT CITY PROJECT


2/14

Birth of green floaty The birth of green float is from the

Burj Khalifa the worlds tallest andcostliest building, which floats on thebanks of Dubai.

y

The city is just like an expanded lotusflower that floats on water

A im of

green floatTo increase theresidential area

To create an eco

friendly environment

To providesustainable life style

amidst of the oceanTo reduce carbondeposits in theenvironment

M aritime c onstru c tion

y Magnesium alloy structural materials are refined fromsea water

y Construction of an artificial offshore ground (bondedhoneycomb structures)y Ultra high rise marine construction(smart system

float over deck structure)

Safety and se c urity

y City disaster and business continuity planning(BCP)y Structural planning disaster and evacuation

measures strong wind counter measures/ wave andtsunami counter measures /lightning countermeasures


11/14

M erits and Demeritsy Increases the residential areay Year wide temps ranging from 24 to 26 degree Celsiusy Carbon negative atmospherey E ffective use of natural resourcesy The extraction of magnesium from sea water is a

costly affair


12/14

M y proposal A s per the new records there is about 170 tonnes of plastic waste in the pacific ocean . It is adversely

affecting the food chain and is responsible for theextinction of many marine species in order to avoid that we should recycle that plastic and turn it into sheets thatfloat on water and then building up a city on thosesheets
