    Fully Transportable

    Residents and owners of ArkPads can have them detached and reattached anywhere they like, or each ArkPad can exist independent of any larger structure.

    Scenic View

    Nowhere in the world will you get the same ocean view like on a seastead.

    Counter-Weighted

    The Arkpad-D is designed with a center of mass below the waterline, meaning that even in the strongest of storms, this structure will never flip over.

Specifications

The engineering claims, and what backs them

Durable Construction

ArkPads are made out of fiberglass and stainless steel. It cannot rust or corrode and has a life-expectancy of 80-95 years. This is backed by internal simulations of fiberglass fatigue.

Reduced Maintenance

ArkPads can be left in the ocean for decades with minimal to zero corrosion. Maintenance on our seasteads compared to a boat is nearly non-existent. Resulting in easier maintenance and less stressful recurring activities. Maintenance cost are expected to be just a couple hundred dollars per year.

Interoperability

The ArkPad-D is designed to physically connect to other ArkPads that are adjacent, it is intended to be used in conjunction with solar panels and water desalinators, and is capable of automatically sharing water, electricity, and internet bandwidth between neighbors.

Strength

The ArkPad-D can hold a structure up to 8 metric tons, it can be placed in water 10 meters deep and can still be capable of handling 7 meters waves and will not buckle even if anchored in locations with tidal currents.
