According to the report of Wired magazine, Troon Golf Company, Waterstudio.NL (a company that engages in water work and playbuilding design) and Dutch company Docklands have announced plans to build a floating golf course in the Maldives Islands in the Indian Ocean. The hole will be underwater. Connected by tunnels.
The 18-hole floating golf course sounds similar to the super energy-consuming project on the coast of Dubai, but it does not actually harm the environment. The Maldives is located in the northern part of the equator and has abundant sunshine. The golf course will use solar design and sustainable desalination and water cooling technologies. The course will consist of a series of floating platforms, each with two or three holes, connected to each other through underwater tunnels, and connected to the surrounding holes. The course was designed by Waterstudio.NL, which was hired by Docklands, a company specializing in floating structures. Troon Golf will provide professional advice during the course of the course design.
The Maldives consists of a series of coral reefs, and the highest point of the island chain is not too high 2.3 meters above sea level. Due to climate change and sea level rise, this country will be greatly affected. The President of the Maldives, Mohammed Nasheed, has announced plans to purchase land in other countries and to set up refugees that have been generated after the Maldives flooded. In order to obtain funds, the Maldivian government is looking for ways to increase tourism revenue. Tourism is the country's economic backbone.
The 18-hole floating golf course will be built near Male International Airport. It is a 5-minute drive from the airport and visitors can play on the court while waiting for a flight. The entire project will invest 500 million U.S. dollars and is expected to be completed in 2015.
Reflective glass is clear or tinted glass that has a very thin layer of metal or metallic oxide on the surface. The reflective coating is applied during the float process. The thicker the glass is, the less light will pass through the window. The reflective coating reduces heat gain and glare from the outside while allowing visible light to enter. Toughened Reflective can be used directly, and also can be processed into Laminated Glass, Insulated Glass for windows, doors, building walls and so on.
Tempered Glass is often used in applications where using standard glass could pose a potential danger. Tempered glass is stronger than standard glass and does not shatter into large shards when broken. This is important, because it can greatly minimize potential danger in the case of a break. Manufactured through a process of extreme heating and rapid cooling, tempered glass is much harder than normal glass.
In the case that tempered glass does break, it shatters into small pebbles that are void of dangerous, sharp edges. As tempered glass is considered to be much safer than normal glass, you may often here it referred to as safety glass or TOUGHENED GLASS . Tempered glass has a wide variety of uses that you'll find just about everywhere. In fact, the shower doors in your bathroom or the side glass on a motor vehicle are examples of tempered glass.
Annealed float glass mainly clear float glass, ultra clear float glass, color tinted glass, reflective glass, they are substrate, can be processed into tempered glass, laminated glass, insulated glass, LOW-E glass, Frosted Glass , Back Painted Glass, Printed Glass , coated glass. Tinted reflective glass mainly brown, grey, blue, green. It can be processed into colored reflective tempered glass, Reflective tempered laminated glass, Reflective Insulated Glass and so on on customer's request.
