In essence, the proposed solution consists of placing a porous frame over the leak that has inflatable diaphragms that could be filled with seawater once the frame is ballasted in place. Once the leak is adequately slowed via this method, a steel form could be placed around the frame and filled with concrete to seal the leak.
I'll have recent artwork in a joint show with Jason Nye this First Friday (May 7, starting at 7PM) at the Garfield Galleria, 316 W. McDowell Rd., Phoenix, AZ. There are a number of other art spaces in the building for you to enjoy, so if you're in the area, stop by and have a glass of wine - hope to see you there!
Artist and Architect, desert dweller working in Phoenix, AZ and the High Desert region of Southern California.
My work includes 2D art in various media and contemporary architecture emphasizing materiality and fluid, interconnected spaces.
Some of the artwork you find here may still be available for purchase. If you would like to commission artwork, purchase any art from my blog, or discuss an architecture project that you may have coming up, please send me an e-mail and tell me about your interest.
Enjoy!
