UNDERWATER MODULAR STRUCTURE, MODULE OF OR FOR SAID UNDERWATER MODULAR STRUCTURE AND METHOD OF CONSTRUCTING AN UNDERWATER MODULAR STRUCTURE
The invention relates to an underwater modular structure comprising a plurality of modules, at least one connector that interlocks the plurality of modules and a labyrinth defined by contours of at least the plurality of modules. Each module of the underwater modular structure comprises at least one connector insertion opening that is configured to receive a connector therethrough. Further, the at least one connector is an elongate member arranged through at least one connector insertion opening of each of the plurality of modules thereby interlocking the plurality of modules. The labyrinth of such underwater modular structure may at least in part be defined by outer and/or inner contours of the plurality of modules. The invention also relates to a module of or for an underwater modular structure according to the invention. Finally, the invention relates to a method of constructing an underwater modular structure, the method comprising the steps of sinking a plurality of modules to a seabed, each module comprising at least one connector insertion opening, and interlocking the plurality of modules with at least one connector that is an elongate member, by arranging the at least one connector through at least one connector insertion opening of each of the plurality of modules, to form a labyrinth defined by contours of at least the plurality of modules. Such method may further comprise the step of filling at least part of the underwater modular structure with a filler.
