Natrx Inc has developed and implemented an adaptive infrastructure solution that combines digital intelligence with advanced manufacturing to provide a nature-based solution for climate resiliency. The firm's solution aims to mitigate risk from erosion, storm surge, and sea level rise with a cost efficient and sustainable modular rock-like material. Benefits offered include customization for specific locations, less material needed compared to other methods, minimization of environmental impact from heavy equipment, and integration with data for learning, adapting, and strengthening over time. In addition to those ecological benefits, the solution offers a more affordable and sustainable method of erosion-resilient shoreline protection than traditional rock/concrete implementations and other additive printing techniques. The material is 1/10th the weight of traditional materials, 80% less carbon emissions, and 7x faster production, offering many advantages for applications such as shoreline stabilization, offshore wind, energy distribution, and intelligent dredging. The firm's primary product, Natrc Oysterbreak, offers a modular breakwater solution to support coastal protection through high-strength modular design that facilitates key species such as corals, oysters, and vegetative species.
