Floating Platforms
Floating platforms are structures designed to remain buoyant on water, often used for various purposes such as offshore drilling, renewable energy generation, and marine research. These platforms can be made from materials like concrete or steel and are anchored to the seabed to provide stability while allowing for movement with waves and currents.
One common application of floating platforms is in the wind energy sector, where they support wind turbines in deep waters, where traditional fixed structures are not feasible. Additionally, floating platforms can serve as bases for aquaculture, enabling fish farming in open water, which helps reduce the impact on coastal ecosystems.
