A floating cover design that maintains stability and resists wind drift without external anchors, using element geometry or partial water fill alone.
Self-ballasting is the design property of a floating cover element whereby it maintains stability — including wind resistance — without external anchors or cables. The patented hexagonal cover achieves self-ballasting through element geometry: the raised central dome dissipates wind energy and the hexagonal tessellation distributes loads across adjacent elements. Self-ballasting covers can be deployed on water bodies with dynamic water levels and irregular shorelines without the engineering complexity of anchor systems.
