  • Patent number: 9683346
    Abstract: A perforated structure mountable onto a seabed for establishing a deep-water port or an artificial island comprises: a plurality prefabricated perforated modules integratable into said structure; and at least one connector interconnecting corner portions of said prefabricated perforated modules. Each prefabricated perforated module has a corner portion comprising a concave surface such that said corner portions being integrated together into said structure form a cavity to be filled with a concrete. The connector comprises a crosspiece having three arms orthogonal to each other; each arm has a cross-like cross section. The crosspiece has reinforcing members at least partially mechanically connectable to said corner portions.
