Improvements in artificial reef modules cast from concrete, with tire chips salvaged from automobile tire optionally added to the mix which is preferably derived from waste concrete mix from ready-mix trucks, the modules being formed in open top molds resembling geometric solid shapes such as a tetrahedron and wherein the sides are desirably roughened to present a wash board corrugated surface, and including suitable recesses for engaging same with lifting apparatus for disposition of same for storage or transit and for release therefrom to descend to an ultimate resting place at the sea bottom in clusters such that marine life is inherently attracted thereto and whereby waste material is recycled in an environmentally enhanced form.

Améliorations apportées à des modules destinés à la construction de récifs artificiels obtenus par moulage de béton préférablement récupéré dans les camions malaxeurs et auquel peuvent être ajoutés des copeaux de pneus d'automobile recyclés; les modules, formés dans des moules à découvert, ont une forme géométrique, tels des tétraèdres pleins, dont les faces, idéalement, présentent un aspect de tôle ondulée; ils comportent des enfoncements qui donneront prise aux engins de levage utilisés dans leur manutention, leur transport et leur mise en place finale au fond de la mer, sous la forme d'amas susceptibles d'attirer des colonies d'organismes sous-marins, ce qui constitue un recyclage écologique de déchets industriels.
