2 WIN-WIN STRATEGY 1. Most coastal development projects are zero-sum games. Someone gains prestige real estate or a berth for their yacht by the sea, while someone else loses the «wild beach» where they used to sunbathe, ﬁsh, and swim for years. This creates a vivid illustration of social inequality and conspicuous consumption. 2. Even projects aimed at creating a promenade or widening the beach often fail to please local residents, because to recoup costs, the shoreline has to be densely packed with cafes, rental outlets, hotels, and retail points. A quiet, romantic beach turns into a noisy machine selling shish kebabs and alcohol. 3. Public discontent, eco-activists, protests – these are the usual companions of any construction on the coast. Is there a reasonable alternative? Or is the best option to leave everything «as is»? 3.1 Factors that most annoy residents: Restricted access to the seashore or paid entry. Inability to enter the water anywhere (as on a wild beach), blocked by retaining walls, tetrapods, embankments, balustrades. No sand – the shore is paved with cobblestones or covered in asphalt. Nowhere to swim (either too deep immediately, or a small-craft mooring area). Dirty or stagnant water. Noise, litter, and overcrowding. 3.2 Factors most valued by investors: Sea view The easiest possible access to the water [One Jump To Paradise]. Comfortable seasonal living and/or seasonal mooring for small craft, jet skis, kayaks, and sailing boats.

3 Presence of private zones. Relative quiet. A promenade. A walking area. The best compromise, satisfying everyone to the maximum extent, is the Sea Village development concept. This is a high-tech, modern interpretation of a «sea gypsy village» – a residential settlement located entirely over the water, 20–50 meters from the shore, and connected to the land only by an «umbilical cord» of a long pier and utilities. 4.1 The «wild beach» and free access to it remain untouched. 4.2 Cooperative construction allows for a signiﬁcant reduction in the cost per square meter of the palaﬁtte (stilt house) and the «parking space» for a boat. It also enables the creation of developed public spaces and recreational opportunities for village residents, without taking anything away from local inhabitants. 4.3 The relatively low cost of the water area and the construction itself makes it possible to do without a commercial component. Thus, privacy and quiet are preserved. 4.4 Moreover, when building under a steep cliﬀ bank (which lacks proper pedestrian access) or on shallow sandbanks, it is possible to create an additional, isolated, terraced artiﬁcial beach. 4.5 The use of wet garages, buoys, and fenced-pool systems allows wave protection to be limited to the village’s territory, without creating large stagnant water areas. 4.6 Extensive use of dry storage spaces (ramps and boatlifts) for jet skis, kayaks, and small craft creates a special marina atmosphere – but without a mall, and therefore without harm to aquatic life.

4 TYPES OF HYDRANTULA FITTINGS 1. Monoﬁtting – a universal ﬁtting, where a single model of ﬁtting is suﬃcient to assemble an entire structure (Y4, Y2, V3, K2, S3, S4, C7). 2. Biﬁttings – a set of 2 ﬁttings suﬃcient to assemble the entire structure (B61+B62; L2+L1; R3+R1; U45+M13). (!) Often, the line between biﬁttings and monoﬁttings is not clearly deﬁned. For example, an entire structure can be assembled not only from a mix of L2+L1, but also from L2 alone (without L1) or from L1 alone (without L2). The same applies to R3 (without R1) and vice versa. Or B61 (without B62) or B62 (without B61). 3. Service ﬁttings – ﬁttings that provide convenient connection of structures to concrete pumps – D2, J5, and D3. As a rule, a ﬁtting can be connected to a concrete pump using standard concrete delivery pipes (horizontal cast-iron sections or hoses). However, when concreting structures far from the shore, ﬂushing and retrieving the concrete pipeline becomes diﬃcult. Using a disposable (sacriﬁcial) concrete pipeline made of HDPE pipe is an inexpensive and straightforward alternative. Fittings D1, D2, and D3 allow for the fast and cost-eﬀective fabrication of a concrete pipeline from standard HDPE pipe Ø125 mm or Ø110 mm. 4. Functional ﬁttings – ﬁttings that perform the same role across diﬀerent ﬁtting families. a) DS6 – «duck-step» ladder for exiting the water; DS1 – step b) N2 – mounting bracket for hammocks and decking N7 – hammock mount N5 – lounger c) M11, J11 – manifolds for pipes d) Х32 – top frame for a «pipe wall» e) D5 – end cap for a cantilever with mooring attachments. 5. Standard shaped components. In some cases, it is advisable to use standard HDPE shaped ﬁttings (elbows, tees, adapter couplings) in the structures.

5 Terraced Beach / Seawall It is evident that there are 4 diﬀerent shoreline protection methods: * Seawall (retaining wall) * Terraced beach * Groyne / breakwater * Marine gabions In the case of a Seawall, the goal is to create the most compact and cost-eﬀective way to prevent shoreline and seabed erosion by waves. This means creating a neat but sharp [>45°] transition between the «ﬂat high bank» and the «ﬂat seabed.» Moreover, the protected cliﬀ face can be backﬁlled with ﬁne crushed rock rather than selected riprap. Comfortable access to the water is possible either via an integrated staircase or is not possible at all. A retaining wall is preferable for organizing marinas, berthing areas, breakwaters, or when installing wet garages, ramps, boat lifts, and jetties – wherever recreational use of the transition zone is not intended, and boats need to approach as close to the shore as possible. The optimal solution for such tasks is retaining walls based on U45/Х32/M11 ﬁttings. In the case of operational beaches, priority is given to comfortable access to the water, aesthetics, and creating beautiful patterns of low steps [sand terraces] with original shapes [zigzag, wave, or scale]. Hydrantula oﬀers a proven solution based on Х31/Х32/M13 ﬁttings. For constructing groynes/breakwaters, a combination of Х11/Х32/M11 ﬁttings is used. Marine gabions are created using the X6 ﬁtting. Wet Garage / Berth A wet boat garage outside a marina is G1 – a «to-the-bottom» seawall that encloses the «garage» on three sides to shield it from waves and provides a foundation for a concrete frame wall. With the correct orientation of the gate, it is possible to avoid sediment accumulation on the garage ﬂoor or wave impact on the boat’s hull. G1 structures are suitable for cooperative storage of watercraft.

6 Boatlift B 61/B62 – a construction truss in the shape of a box frame allows for the installation of a boat lift and canopy. A vessel lifted out of the water is not subject to biofouling or corrosion. It is insensitive to moderate wave action. The truss that forms the «box» can be clad with moisture-resistant materials. The design allows for the addition of a storage room or a rest area. Suitable for cooperative storage of watercraft. V3 – the design allows a boat or yacht to be lifted by winch onto a steel keel block or a platform with rollers, supported by 4 or 6 inclined guide rails. V3 is universal and accommodates any hull shape. Boat Ramp S3 / R3 – A ramp with a transverse trolley [S3] or a rail-gang with rollers [R3] allows a vessel (including a catamaran) to be lifted out of the water using a winch. A ramp attached to a quay wall allows the boat to be stored in a garage on shore.

Wet Keelblock. For almost all temperate and subpolar waters, there is a concept of a «navigation season.» It may be determined by the arrival of commercial ﬁsh, seasonal storms, the rainy season, or low water temperatures when there is no practical reason to go out to sea. During this time, vessels are often hauled ashore. They are repaired and stored on keelblocks. Hydrantula concrete keelblocks allow watercraft to be stored on an unprepared shore or even in shallow water, saving money and marina space. Manifold. Unlike their plumbing counterparts, Hydrantula manifolds are designed for pipes to pass straight through them; there are also angle manifolds and even «tee» manifolds. Manifolds allow for the creation of long, seamless «log- style» seawalls that eﬀectively dissipate wave energy. Auxiliary Fittings. The Hydrantula range includes auxiliary ﬁttings for creating cantilevers and concrete pipelines; attaching pontoons; organizing stairways into the water; mooring PWC (personal watercraft), and more. 7 SCOUR HOLE AND WAVE ENERGY Most inexperienced builders of private waterfronts and jetties believe that casting a thick monolithic concrete wall – say, one meter thick – is enough for success: there’s your ﬁnished pier! Although such a structure is strong enough to withstand wave impacts, it is no guarantee of long-term success. After a few years, builders are surprised to discover that the pier has been «undermined from below» and is collapsing into the sea or «hanging on piles.» Meanwhile, the shoreline behind the seawall is actively eroding and slumping. Moreover, it’s not just sandy or clayey soil that can be washed away, but even pebbles the size of a ﬁst. Sea waves, delivering monotonous impacts against the quay wall 24/365, do not simply disappear «into nowhere.» Part of the energy (50%) goes into spray and vertical water fountains, part into abrasive wear of the concrete. And the other half strikes with force against the seabed beneath the pier, scouring the soil under its foundation.

8 This signiﬁcant eﬀect persists to a depth of approximately 4 meters. Only quay walls with depths of 5 meters or more are generally not aﬀected by the «scour hole.» To slow down the erosion process of the seabed, you can either: Build a wide horizontal «bottom shelf» from a durable material (concrete, steel), or Incline the quay wall «away from the sea» at an angle of 30°–45° to redirect most of the wave energy from the seabed toward the top of the structure, or Replace the smooth wall with a complex shape that eﬀectively dissipates wave energy. The best approach is to apply all three measures at once. And also provide for automatic ﬁlling of the scour hole with pebbles (boulders) from a bottomless gabion or from backﬁll behind the wall. Hydrantula systems based on the U60 Jetty ﬁtting feature a «log-style» wall with a 30° inclination – reducing the load on the seabed by approximately half through dissipation and upward reﬂection of wave energy. They can automatically ﬁll the scour hole with pebbles from the backﬁll and are equipped with a bottom shelf. Furthermore, U60 structures have long rear outriggers and a front shelf as a foot apron, which prevent the structure from toppling into the sea with minimal maintenance of the backﬁll. The U60 systems also allow for the installation of «mooring rods» to secure small craft at a distance of up to 2 meters from the quay wall, outside the zone of standing vertical waves. X6 (Cribbs) and G4 (Sea Gabbio) ﬁttings are modern versions of structures that maintain stability through eﬃcient dissipation of wave energy «on the rocks» and automatic ﬁlling of the scour hole with boulders from their own internal ﬁll. Such systems can withstand surf conditions several times longer than conventional quay walls in shallow waters. And due to their enormous mass, they are largely insensitive to freezing and ice drift. They can be used as breakwaters and as the submerged portion of walls in wet boat garages

9 Hydrantula W2 sta- tionary concrete keelblocks are an excellent way to organize watercraft storage above the water when dry space in the mari- na is scarce. They can also be used for «permanent moor- ing» of old yachts, boats, and catama- rans used as sta- tionary sea cottag- es. In combination with X6 or G4, it is possible to create entire cottage com- munities in scenic bays.

10 G4 marine gabi- ons can be used as groynes, breakwa- ters, shoreline pro- tection elements, or small moles. With an exceptionally low weight when emp- ty and an enormous weight when filled with rock, they are the optimal solu- tion for marine con- struction in remote bays.

Hydrantula systems based on the U60 Jetty fitting feature a «log-style» wall with a 30° inclination – reducing the load on the seabed by approximate- ly half through dissipation and upward reflection of wave energy. They can automatically fill the scour hole with pebbles from the backfill and are equipped with a bottom shelf. Furthermore, U60 structures have long rear outriggers and a front shelf as a foot apron, which prevent the structure from toppling into the sea with minimal mainte- nance of the backfill. 11

X6 (Cribbs) and G4 (Sea Gab- bio) fittings are modern versions of structures that maintain stabili- ty through effi- cient dissipation of wave energy "on the rocks" and automat- ic filling of the scour hole with boulders from their own inter- nal fill. Such systems can withstand surf conditions several times longer than conventional quay walls in shallow waters. And due to their enormous mass, they are largely insensi- tive to freezing and ice drift. They can be used as break- waters and as the submerged portion of walls in wet boat ga- rages. 12

13 The most expensive and the most useless port of a marina is the mole. Hydrantula technology can turn the mole into a mari- naъs recreation cen- ter, its promenade through the breaking waves. U45 - A system of terraced support walls used to protect the mole at a depth of up to 12 meters, while also ensuring easy access to water and allowing to moor small boats. X11 - A groin system that allows to re- store and maintain sandy beaches quick- ly and Шfor freeЧ or create artificial beaches at a depth of up to 3 meters.

14 System "A" — a foundation for living above water. De- signed for depths of up to 5 meters. Operates in tid- al zones and in areas sub- ject to flooding. Reliable, frost-resistant, and built to last for decades.

Y2 – a shoreline structure for launching jet skis (PWC) via rollers. Y4 – a deep-water struc- ture with a longitudinal carriage for launching small sailing boats and jet skis. Installation depth up to 3 meters. R3 – a structure for cat- amarans and centerboard (daggerboard) boats. 15

For the perfect sea cruise, gaso- line is often not needed. All you need is marble beef, cognac, and a good company of friends. What you do need, how- ever, is an unsink- able yacht with sofas and a fire- pit. G1 – a system for 1–2 wet garages, which in skilled hands can be seamlessly com- plemented with saloons, cabins, and galleys. V3 – a system for 1–2 heavy slip- way lifts, which sometimes turn into an entire villa on the water. 16

Global warming and sea level rise [SLR] put up to 25%of coasts in the US and Japan at risk of erosion. Current coast protection methods are generally prohibitively expensive and fully strip coasts of any recreational potential. U45 - A system of terraced support walls used at a depth of up to 12 meter. Ensures easy access to wa- ter and allows to moor small boats. X11 - A groin system that allows to restore and maintain sandy beaches quickly and “for free” or cre- ate artificial beaches [up to 3 meters]. 17

For most clients, their introduction to marine con- struction begins with a pier. The L1/L2 and C7 light pier systems are simple and reliable solutions for your first marine project. 18

A terraced beach is the easiest way to bring white sands where they have never been before. X32, X31 - a unique beach in the “fish scale” or “rhombus” style. 19

What could be better than lounging in a hammock by the sea? A huge hammock suspended over the waves! The P41/P42/ P43 series – hammocks right in the surf! 20

B61/B62 – a deep-water family of fit- tings suitable for creating marine foun- dations for palafittes (stilt houses) and boatlifts. Can also be used on reg- ularly flooded land plots. A boatlift is the best way to protect your «swallow» (be- loved vessel) from biofouling, osmosis, dam- age, and corro- sion. 21

A marina at your doorstep — maximum convenience. If the shore is rocky and you live by the wa- ter, the G1+M13 system allows you to build a «wet garage» for your boat: 24/7 access, wave protec- tion, and space for storage and relaxation. No need to drive to the port — the sea is right there. 22

S3 and S4 – ramps with a transverse car- riage for launch- ing large boats and yachts. Can be installed as duplexes and triplexes, includ- ing at a distance from the shore. Maximum depth – 5 meters. Ice-resistant. Can be equipped with utility rooms, marine ladders, and ham- mocks. 23

Marine terraces and walkways allow individual marine construction objects to be assembled into sea villages. L1/L2 – a system of light marine terraces with built-in hammocks (for depths up to 2.5 meters). C7 – a system of marine walkways. K2 – shallow-water walkways (depth up to 1 meter). 24

Global warming and sea level rise [SLR] put up to 25%of coasts in the US and Japan at risk of ero- sion. Current coast protection methods are prohib- itively expensive for private clients and rarely last long. U45 - A system of terraced support walls. M6 - A system of gabions. 25

As the depth of the sea at the construction site increases, it causes even faster increasing diameter of piles used for the pile field. The cost of construction increases quadratically depending on the depth. Hydrantula offers the optimal solution - a «pile forest». A 3D concrete truss that turns individual piles into a solid structure. 26

Hydrantula technology has «inherent» limitations. But it's still suitable for creating solid mooring walls for river and small sea vessels at depths up to 8 meters. 27

Coastal «dispersing» stationary breakwaters are an affordable and effective way to stop coastal erosion.And even keep sufficient water circulation. 28

31 LIGHTWEIGHT / 3D STIFFNESS. The key advantage of Hydrantula is the extremely low density of ﬁnished structures – approximately 30 kg/ m³ – combined with excellent elasticity of the structural material and high volumetric rigidity of the welded plastic 3D truss. This allows for the assembly of huge monolithic structures on land, lifting them with cranes, and placing them into the water, with their weight increasing 8–10 times after being ﬁlled with concrete. No competing technology (except Cribbs and Sheetpile backﬁll) oﬀers such a diﬀerence in weight. Their installation requires very heavy construction equipment and good shore access. SEAMLESS TECHNOLOGY. Before the creation of Hydrantula, there were as many «unique» technologies for marine construction as there were types of marine structures. Like Hydrantula, these technologies compete for the attention of construction crews or larger contractors (B2B). At the same time, builders rarely master the full range of available technologies. As a result, the essentially uniﬁed market of private marine construction has been fragmented into numerous artiﬁcial segments: The market for sheet pile and pile drivers The market for installers of prefabricated aluminum structures (piers, boatlifts, ramps, and rail-gangs) The market for wooden marine construction (piers, canopies, terraces, boathouses) The market for gravity retaining walls and Rip Rap The market for marina construction, concrete pontoons, and mole embankments The market for shore reinforcement and coastal protection (tetrapods, groynes) From the consumer’s perspective, this means that to implement a comprehensive marine construction project, one has to turn to multiple contractors (and resolve conﬂicts over «who was supposed to do this» and «who is responsible for what»). Alternatively, you hire a general contractor and pay for their management services. At the same time, any so-called «optimization» from having multiple technological solutions is oﬀset by the high capital intensity of

32 these businesses, expensive logistics, and the high salaries of numerous specialized professionals working in hazardous conditions and bad weather. From the builders’ perspective, they ﬁnd themselves not participants in one large and lucrative uniﬁed market, but only in a particular segment of it. Covering the entire market is impossible – due to the high capital costs of construction equipment and machinery, or the lack of appropriately qualiﬁed staﬀ. Hydrantula is the only technology that can «cover» all segments of the private marine construction market based on uniﬁed technological solutions, a single materials supplier, and a single contractor. Moreover, the contractor needs only one set of inexpensive tools and one crew for all scenarios. 1. List of competing technologies: 1.1 Floating concrete pontoons 1.2 Pile ﬁelds (steel, concrete, bored cast-in-place, timber) 1.3 SheetPile Larssen (Larssen sheet piling) 1.4 Trammie (cast-in-place concrete) 1.5 Pre-cast concrete (tetrapods, gravity retaining walls) 1.6 Prefabricated aluminum structures (retractable piers and boatlifts) 1.7 Marine gabions (cribbs) 1.8 Rip Rap WHY HYDRANTULA IS A DISRUPTIVE INNOVATION? 4.1 In the private marine construction market, technologies known to the ancient Greeks and medieval Venetians still dominate. Driving [vibro- driving] piles into soft seabed, and embankments and foundations made of cribs – huge timber boxes ﬁlled with large stones (essentially marine gabions). It is obvious that it is impossible to create a strong brand around driving wooden or steel piles. Both the raw materials (timber) and the technologies leave no room for patents, know-how, or pricing advantages. 4.2 Among newer technologies, one can note steel or PVC sheet piling. But sheet piling was invented back in 1906. And technologically, it is simply a «sheet pile» with interlocks that allow assembly of a seawall. In many cases, driving [or jetting] rows of wooden piles close together is still cheaper. 4.3 Common features of modern private marine construction are:

33 • Primitive raw materials (timber or steel pipes). • A high share of the construction cost coming from machine-hours of heavy equipment (operating continuously for weeks) and skilled labor of excavator operators, crane operators, long-load truck drivers, and barge captains. • High capital investment required to enter the business (up to $200,000 per crew). • High dependence of work speed on weather conditions. • 95% share of «wet» work – performed only on-site and over the water. • A large percentage of material waste caused by seabed geology and the impossibility of perfect cutting. • For 50% of water areas, there is a pronounced seasonality – work in winter is impossible. • Moreover, the crew can only operate within a radius of 100–150 km from their «base.» • Neighbors endure hellish noise and diesel exhaust. And the structure is quite short-lived and will soon require repairs. 4.4 All these factors make business scaling ineﬃcient, as economies of scale are virtually absent, and there is nowhere to place surplus workers in winter. 4.5 The Hydrantula technology completely transforms private marine construction methods: • At least 50% of the work (and sometimes up to 90%) is performed in a workshop. • Winter work in the workshop for producing semi-ﬁnished products – «to stock» – is possible. • Semi-ﬁnished products and ﬁnished items can be transported by low- loaders over thousands of kilometers. • Most workers can be trained «from scratch» within 1 week. They do not require licenses for heavy machinery. • Heavy machinery involvement is reduced to 1–2 days (i.e., by a factor of 5–7). • Initial capital investment in tools can be reduced to $5,000 per crew (dealer). • On-site installation work is virtually silent. • The service life of Hydrantula structures is up to 60 years. • Waste/scrap share is no more than 10%.

35 3 LAYERS OF INNOVATION 1. Hydrantula, a leader in underwater con- crete and private marine construction, has created a series of innovative products and avant-garde methods for their application. Innovations from Hydrantula can be divided into: 1.1 An unprecedentedly wide range, includ- ing products completely absent from the mar- ket. 1.2 Product-level innovations aimed at ensur- ing high rigidity and low weight of the structure at a reasonable cost, simple logis- tics of components, and compatibility with standard pipes, rebar, and concrete pumps. 1.3 Structure-level innovations aimed at scalability, versatility, ease and speed of assembly, simplicity of installation, minimal costs for renting construction equipment and barges. Dry work (predominantly in the workshop) and independence from weather conditions. The abil- ity to install Hydran- tula in «wild» ﬁeld conditions. 1.4 Innovations at the scale of a ﬂoating vil - lage or a boat cooperative. 2. Innovations in ﬁttings: 2.1 Camlock / Groove Lock – a semi-hermetic connector on the Hydrantula ﬁtting for pump- ing concrete under pressure «from bottom to top» into Hydrantula structures, mechanically compatible with GrooveLock or Camlock stan- dards. 2.2 Anti-Bell – a cuﬀ design on the ﬁtting with a characteristic step- like taper at the end. Allows a pipe of the same diameter to be either

36 butt-welded (to the narrow end of the cuﬀ) or se- cured in the wider socket by welding the joint with a manual extruder. The socket is drilled out with a hole saw – this makes it easy to remove the end of the cuﬀ. Provides the strongest mounting of a pipe beam between two anti-bell cuﬀs. 2.3 Binary socket – a binary noz- zle – a patented design for connecting a pipe to the Hydrantula ﬁtting, characterized by arbitrary eleva- tion and azimuth angles relative to the ﬁtting’s equa- torial plane (during plastic molding) and the ability to «activate» the nozzle on-site by drilling it out with a hole saw. 2.4 Side Oﬀset – lateral dis- placement of the axes of coaxial cuﬀs or binary nozzles relative to the geometric center of the 3D truss node – to enable through (skewer-style) instal- lation of an entire pipe beam and to give the ﬁtting compact dimensions. 2.5 Welded joints – the use of standard HDPE plumbing pipe installation methods – welding – made it possible to avoid developing special tools or specialized worker training. Standard equipment provides excellent joint strength and aes- thetics with minimal time and money expenditure. 2.6 Composite/Cable pull-up – nozzles for in- stalling tie rods made of «bare» composite rebar 16– 40mm (not inside concrete), working only in tension (as guy wires). Structurally similar to binary pipe noz- zles. Provide high volumetric rigid- ity of the structure with minimal additional weight and cost. Cable guy-wire attachments – original nodes for securing stainless steel cable guy-wires (3–5mm) to ensure the required rigidity of the empty formwork during transport and on-site installation in the water area. 3. Structural innovations:

37 3.1 Node-Beam 3D frame – a method of creat- ing formwork for concrete 3D trusses using standard plumbing pipes as beams, and ﬁttings with 5–16 noz- zles of patented design as truss nodes. 3.2 Skewer-tube / Co-axial socket 3.3 Buildability – the design of Hydrantula structures, optimized for convenient as- sembly of the 3D truss from ﬁttings with more than 5 non-coaxial nozzles (sometimes up to 16 nozzles). Within traditional methods of polyethylene or plumb- ing system installation, this is absolutely unattain- able. 3.4 Wet casting – a method of casting concrete into ﬂooded formwork by displacing water «from bottom to top.» 3.5 Built-in pontoon – a method of delivering and/or installing Hy- drantula structures on-site, based on the guaranteed buoyancy of the 3D truss, achieved by securing blue 217L barrels in special F200 holders. 3.6 Hose concrete conductor – the use of high-pressure hoses (up to 18 bar) with a diameter of 150mm and length of up to 40 meters as disposable underwater concrete pipelines. 3.7 Pressurized sewage / DC power / Potable water supply 3.8 Framed stacked wall – a method of manufactur- ing an underwater wall from a bundle of horizontal HDPE pipes (=hoses), tightly ﬁxed in several frames of a three-dimensional structure. Allows the use of long pipe lengths even in low-height marine terraces. 3.9 Manifold – ﬁttings for «centralized» concret- ing of several horizontal pipes from a bundle (in a seawall). Also provide hermetic sealing of pipe ends and the creation of right angles in walls. 3.10 Fitting System – an innovative method of

38 creating 3D trusses from round pipes with diameters greater than 5». Replacing «pipe- to-pipe» joints in the structure with «pipe-to- ﬁtting» joints makes it possible to completely eliminate the labor-intensive ﬁtting of pipe end shapes and signiﬁcantly reduce the re- quired cutting accuracy. 4. Innovative formats: 4.1 DUNE – a method of shoreline protection and sandy beach restoration using terraced seawalls. 4.2 Zero Line – a method of placing small-craft moorings and resort villages in shallow water, with- out a mall, preserving public access to the shoreline and normal water circulation in the bay. 4.3 SeaVillage – a compact rec- reational and sports-oriented village in the zero line, combined with a campsite and collective small-craft mooring [a mix of dry and wet berths]. 4.4 BoatCondo – structures designed for dry stor- age of two or more boats above the water. Collective storage achieves savings of 30–50% in ﬁttings and pipes (shared-wall eﬀect) while si - multaneously saving the required water area. 5. The product range, in addition to traditional industry oﬀerings, includes: 5.1 Terraced retaining walls 5.2 Terraced beaches 5.3 Marine gabions 5.4 Sea causeways 5.5 Boat cooperatives (Boat Condo) 5.6 Wet garages 5.7 Deep-water ramps (Boat Ramp) 5.8 Sea camping 5.9 Wheeled lifts

39 THE VALUE OF HYDRANTULA TECHNOLOGY FOR THE CONSUMER AND SOCIETY. 7.1 In most countries of the world (except Finland, the East Coast of the United States, some Persian Gulf countries, and the island states of Oceania), the shoreline and seacoast are considered a scarce resource, the development of which must be subordinated to the interests of society and some common good, not only to private interests. Having signiﬁcant ﬁnancial resources does not yet mean the ability to develop the shoreline according to your own taste and discretion. And all historically developed bays and marinas are regularly subject to criticism and revisionism from political and environmental activists. 7.2 The value of Hydrantula technology lies in the fact that it al- lows doubling the recreational po- tential of a water area by preserv- ing the coastline in its original state and extending marine structures 25–70 meters out to sea, including to depths unsuitable for swimming. At the same time, these structures do not impede normal water circu- lation and do not lead to waterlog- ging of the water area. 7.3 And bays lacking wide nat- ural sandy beaches can be trans- formed into terraced beaches and promenades. 7.4 Hydrantula allows the cre- ation of marina malls suitable for recreation and commerce, rather than obstacle courses of tetrapods. And it enables the creation of collective (cooperative) protected mooring places for small craft that do not require a special mall (ramps and boat- lifts). 7.5 Furthermore, Hydrantula marine structures can be easily disman- tled. And construction is virtually silent.

40 7.6 One of the main diﬃculties of construction in shallow waters is main- taining the balance of bottom sedi- ments. The construction of almost any «continuous» structure leads either to the formation of dunes (accretion) of sand and ﬁne gravel, or, conversely, to seabed erosion (and often both simul- taneously). As a result, the structure slowly sinks into bottom sediments, or its foundation becomes exposed and hangs without solid support. We have managed to ﬁnd a stable balance. All these features make Hydrantula an extremely attractive, socially and envi- ronmentally responsible marine construction technology. VALUE FOR DEALERS, CONTRACTORS, DISTRIBUTORS, ARCHITECTS, AND RETAIL CHAINS: 8.1 Unlike the vast majority of alternative technologies, our products have a bright, memorable style that cannot be confused with anything else. A vibrant palette in the style of M&Ms or Lego – distinctly sets us apart from the mass of monochrome (black or white) building materials. 8.2 Unlike alternative technol- ogies, most of which date back to the early or mid-20th century, our technol- ogy is new and protected by fresh inter- national patents. 8.3 Unlike most known methods of marine construction, we can assem- ble a ﬁnished structure or semi-ﬁnished product with a 60–70% degree of read- iness – year-round in the workshop – and transport them over long distanc-

41 es. We are almost independent of weather whims and the availability of civilized amenities at the installation site. 8.4 Our formwork has many competitive advantages over traditional technologies and expands the «realm of the possible» for budget-friendly private marine construction. 8.5 A whole range of products from the H2, H5, and H6 series are simply impossible to realize within existing technologies. 8.6 Our technology does not involve pollution of the water area with zinc ions and heavy metals, toxic impregnations, or carcinogenic antifoul- ing agents. UNEVEN SEABED HYDRANTULA systems are indeed very simple to assemble. The most diﬃcult thing is to ﬁnd or create a level seabed for their installation. Since all Hydrantula systems are geometrically regular 3D trusses, they re- quire a level seabed to stand «straight.» 1. If you own a suﬃciently large water area, we advise you to look for a relatively ﬂat area that can be brought to perfection using a hydro-jet (water jet dredge). Sometimes it is enough to simply consider a section of the water area 3–5 meters further from the water’s edge, where the seabed is usually much ﬂatter. 2. If the entire water area has a pronounced, uniform slope, this cur- vature can be compensated for by vertical columns directly under the deck or at the very bottom (below the lower tier of the truss). 3. If you can hire a barge with bottom anchors or an excavator with a «long-reach» bucket, you can simply dig a perfectly level pad immediately before installing the structure. The pad will inevitably be ﬁlled in during storms, but the structure will already be standing straight. 4. Sometimes the situation is spoiled by one or two huge boulders on the seabed. They can be «ﬁshed out» with a crane or bulldozer using a steel cable seine and moved beyond the construction site boundaries or even pulled ashore. 5. Screw piles can be used, driven inside the load-bearing columns of

42 Hydrantula to ﬁx columns that are suspended in the air (sags). 6. Small sags can be corrected by placing paving stones under the load-bearing columns. 7. To summarize: in most cases, seabed defects can be corrected, or a good section of seabed can be found immediately. But there are certainly areas of seabed where installing Hydrantula is not the best idea, and other options should be considered. Therefore, before purchasing Hydrantula, we recommend having at least a rough idea of the seabed conditions. APPLICABILITY In Hydrantula brochures, certain ﬁttings have a predetermined «pur- pose» for piers, terraced embankments, and boatlifts. Of course, human imagination and ingenuity allow them to be used for other purposes as well – agricultural structures, footbridges, swings, or small architectural forms. Please note that Hydrantula does not provide consultations or war- ranties regarding the possibility of their use in alternative capacities. And we have absolutely no certainty about the safety and reason- ableness of such experiments or their consequences for the property, life, and health of both builders and users of these «improvised» structures. If you have an engineering education and suﬃcient experience in cast concrete construction, you may (but even this is not certain!) be able to correctly foresee all the consequences of your actions; otherwise, you are deﬁnitely better oﬀ not taking risks. In our design, we assumed moderate water areas – a non-freezing sea bay or a freezing lake. Our structures have not been tested and are not designed for use in the Arctic, in areas aﬀected by icebergs, hurricanes, tsunamis, or tornadoes. Nor for water areas with very high waves, strong currents, or an abun- dance of large ﬂoating debris. Properly cast reinforced marine concrete is a strong, durable materi- al; nevertheless, we do not rule out that in water areas with extreme water or ice conditions, our structures may prove useless, insuﬃciently strong, or even dangerous to use. When making a decision to purchase Hydrantula, please be guided by common sense, the experience of your neighbors on the water, suﬃciently accurate engineering calculations, and consultations with Hydrantula spe- cialists.

ANNIVERSARY OF UNICORN ANNIVERSARY OF UNICORN 44TH TH 11 Why HYDRANTULA Why HYDRANTULA Is a Breakthrough — Is a Breakthrough — and and Why It’s Only Appearing Now? Why It’s Only Appearing Now? HYDRANTULA permanent formwork competes directly with multiple established shoreline and marine construction methods—piles, retaining walls, sheet piling, concrete pontoons, and aluminum deck structures. What makes it diﬀerent? HYDRANTULA dramatically lowers the cost and complexity of building 3D marine concrete frames, bringing them out of the realm of oil & gas megaprojects and into reach for mid-sized developers, marinas, and residential coastal construction. So why hasn’t this «obvious» solution been around for decades? Because it wasn’t obvious—until now. Let’s ﬁgure it out. 1 1 FAQ FAQ H ydrantula is the only low-cost 3D marine concrete frame technology. Unlike piles, up to 35% of all work can be done inside workshop. And about 90% of the total work is dry. And are carried out on shore without involving heavy machinery or barges. Hydrantula installation is virtually silent and less susceptible to the vagaries of the weather. Hydrantula is almost insensitive to the type of bottom soil. 1. What are we selling? HYDRANTULA develops, manufactures and sells permanent [non-removable] formwork for casting concrete underwater or in the tide zone. The ready-to-cast concrete formwork consists of original connecting elements [ﬁttings or nodes] and beams made of regular HDPE plumbing pipes. 2. What exactly are you selling and what will need to buy separately? *We sell technology. In a narrow sense, we only sell ﬁttings = connecting nodes of the 3D frame. Beams are made from standard plumbing pipes; sea concrete, rebar and microﬁber are also widely available mass products and purchased locally HYDRANTULA FITTING CATALOGUE 2025 WHERE DOES HYDRANTULA HAVE NO ANY PRACTICAL ALTERNATIVES?

Эти категории работ всегда несут повышенные риски для работни- ков. Требуют более высокой квалификации и дисциплины. 2.В отличие от других видов морских строительных тех- нологий - отсутствует «прочная» связь строительной конструкции с дном - она «просто стоит» на дне. Конструкцию технически можно убрать целиком, не раз- рушая (хоть это и дорого).
